Dawn: Rise of the Occulites

Well it's been quite some time since I posted.  Lots of stuff happened with me including getting Married in May.  You may ask, does she got "Game".  Well she does and she does like gaming, well at least occasionally.


Now on to the fun stuff

Recently the guys over at  Darwin Games and Ben Boersma launched a new Kickstarter called Dawn: Rise of the Occulites.  Being a owner of some of their miniatures, I can say this Kickstarter looks pretty slick.  So definitely go check them out.

Darwin-Games, Rise of the Occulites

Here are some figure comparisons from Darwin Games Rise of the Occulites.  All the big tribe figures are quite heavy (not a bad thing) and are cast up really well.  There is a great amount of detail on the figures and they simply look amazing.  They will of course work well in both 28mm or 15mm settings.

Floris Leader, Palaudis Leader, Hydris Leader (30mm bases)

 These are the biggest miniatures base wise (40mm Bases)

  Floris, Hydris, and Palaudis tribe (Floris are the biggest and Palaudis are the smallest)

Ignis with 2 figures from Splinter Light Miniatures who will also be selling them.

Here is the latest tribe for Darwin-Games Rise of the Occulites called the Ignis Tribe.  The figures have been moved up in the release schedule and will be available at the same time as the Nimbus.  A very welcomed late October release. 

These figures are just so fun, everyone should get at least one tribe.




The Ignis tribes are found living on or close to lava flats – sometimes even within the vicinity of volcanic activity. They use this terrain to separate themselves from other tribes, preferring to keep to themselves. Any incursions into their lands though are dealt with swiftly and harshly. Ignis tribes are covered in a thick, leathery skin, that takes on the appearance of molten rock. Cracks in this surface act as natural vents, allowing the build up of pressure and heat taken in from their surroundings, to be released. As such, these areas glow boldly with reds, yellows and oranges, warning predators and enemies that this tribe is not to be trifled with.
