That sexy, sexy Numbskull!<br /><br />Other new releases for Dark Age are great, like Mongo and the upcoming Toxic Abomination. I guess I just feel slighted by the newest Brood releases. Like you said there are a lot of new games out, and I think it hurts attracting new people. Also, maybe I'm in the minority in not liking the new Brood models.GMcDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075373092638994190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-8559922934698009032012-09-21T10:06:52.941+01:002012-09-21T10:06:52.941+01:00Whereabouts are you exactly?

My Outcast on the whole are OK, but even with them there are the off bit of sculpting I'd personally think could've been done better. The side of the Brutes head in the starter set makes it look like the poor sod has had a stroke!!! <br /><br />It's a difficult product to know how to develop though. It must be washing its own face, otherwise CMoN would have killed it. So the question as to whether investing to rejuvenate the miniatures line, for what actually is a pretty good game is a difficult one. Especially when there are new games seemingly announced every day.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-51224623739949349452012-09-21T05:40:51.722+01:002012-09-21T05:40:51.722+01:00Thanks for the review, two of my friends have been...Thanks for the review, two of my friends have been prodding me to get into Dark Age.

Yeah ...Yep south Brum / Solihull border area. Why?<br /><br />Yeah the contents page isn't the best, but actualy I found it quite easy to navigate the book, the different coloured pages by faction helped a lot, as did the profile pics for each unit. As I'm dyslexic it was far better for me than most other books.
