______________________________

Hello everyone! April is upon us, and the Gormolgoth Overlords will be available in the next few days! As per the previous Battlecry Poll, the theme for the upcoming month of May has been determined as the Sharkzerkers, and work on the first expansion to an existing release has begun!

This poll will be determining the releases following the month of May, so I can get a head start on thinking about what will be involved with each set and when! As with the previous poll, all three options on this poll will be made over the next three months, and voting will determine their order of release.

Each option will have a short description and some concept art, included below.

Pick the option you want to see soonest! The winner will be the theme for the June Battle Pack, while second and third place will appear for the July and August releases! Feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions, and questions in the comments or on the Official Battle Yak Discord!

Poll Options

Frostforge Reclaimers
Theme Elements: Mountain Dwarves, Battle-Maidens, Runic Weapons, Heavy Armor & Thick Furs, Wydowslayers wearing only jewelry, a great big weapon, and a psychotic grin

The dwarven warrior-women of the Frostforge Reclaimers are on a quest to retake the long-lost ancestral lands of their people, and slaughter the countless enemies that seek to defile them. Though their own society has marked them as criminals for breaking with ancient traditions, they refuse to accept the shame that others would have them feel, and have set out to forge their own destiny.

Figures: Frostforged Battle-Maidens, Sorrowforged Wydowslayers, Frost Witch

Moulderbloom Fungaren

Theme Elements: Mushroom People, Mushroom Dogs, Mushroom Giants... basically just loads of mushroom creatures. Based on some old concept art I did!

Lurking deep beneath the surface of the world in sunken caverns and boggy chasms, the Moulderbloom Fungaren are a species of fungi that has grown so extensively and absorbed such vast quantities of natural mystic energies that they have attained sentience. Capable of directing the growth of their spores, the Fungaren can take on a huge variety of forms, from eerily humanoid to monstrous and bestial to towering giant.

Figures: Mouldercap Fungoid, Mycotitan, Fungal Beasts, Mushroom Dryad

Blightergast Reanimators

Theme Elements: Frankenstein-esque Undead, Flesh Golems, Stitched-together Corpses, Reanimation Necrotechnology, Dark Alchemical Science Fanatics
See the original release and concept art!

The Blightergast Reanimators are a cabal of mad geniuses who have cast aside morality and reason as unnecessary fetters holding back scientific advancement. The Reanimators employ their warped brilliance in mastering life and death, every experimenting moving them towards their collective goal the attainment of immortality. Their hideous creations form a frightfully effective army, their victims harvested as material for future experiments.

Figures: Dregborn Thralls, Wargast Gallowglass, Blightersturn Reanimatrix

______________________________

Battle Pack releases include at minimum 7 figures - 5 modular trooper characters (including a banner bearer), 1 elite character, and a special hero character. In past releases I've often added many bonus figures when time permitted! All sets also include a large selection of modular options, such as weapons, heads, and banners, as well as a set of themed custom-sculpted bases!

The poll will run for the next few days. Drop by the Battle Yak Discord to talk about the results with the community. Happy Voting!
