______________________________

Hey everyone! The July release, the Moulderbloom Fungaren, is available now, and the following August release has been determined to be a return to the Blightergast Reanimators, expanding the existing line with all new and deadly creatures and characters! 

With the Reanimators being worked on throughout August, it's time to determine what future themes are going to be developed going into autumn! This poll will be determining the releases following the month of August, so I can get a head start on thinking about what will be involved with each set and when. All three options on this poll will be made over the next three months after August, 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 September Battle Pack, while second and third place will appear for the October and November releases! Feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions, and questions in the comments or on the Official Battle Yak Discord!

Poll Options

Draugyr Soulreavers

Theme Elements: Possessed Vikings, Hideous Mutations, Tentacles and Crab-Claws, Eldritch Horror, Worshipers of Dark Gods from Below the Waves

On the dark and freezing seas of the north, the fearsome Draugyr Soulreavers pillage the ragged edges of civilizations, making sacrifices to foul and unknowable beings that lurk in the lightless depths beneath the waves. The greater the sacrifice, the more dark blessings the lords of the deep bestow upon their followers, twisting their flesh into unnatural, nightmare shapes, until all humanity has been left behind. These hunters of souls are known by their dread war cry: "Draugyr! Draugyr! Draugyr!"

Figures: Dreyurg Shore-Raider, Byssjr Berserker, Helrysen Sea-Hag (helper of poor, unfortunate souls...)

Cankerfen Boggrots

Theme Elements: Swamp Goblins, Marsh Creatures, Giant Carnivorous Frogs, Bog Monsters, Pointy Caps and Hoods on Crazy People

Erupting from the fens, marshes, mires, and swamps to fall upon the unwary are the Cankerfen Boggrots, a diminutive race that are small and stature but a mile high in deranged cruelty. Having tamed (sort of) many of the vicious bog beasts that infest their murky homes, they employ these vicious creatures in their raids and ambushes. Who knows what terror lurks in the bogs of the world? The boggrots, that's who, and they're usually riding it right at you.

Figures: Cankergit Hoodlums, Murkmire Bogfrog, Cankergit Scalawags

Sentinels of Primus: The Marauder Cults

Theme Elements: High-tech Warriors in Heavy Armor, Demon Slayers, Magic-Powered Guns and Laser Axes, Spiky Bits Customization Options, Demon Bone and Skull Trophies, Bringers of Doom

The Sentinels of Primus are an army like no other, super-human warriors imbued with the divine power of the great God King Primus. Some amongst their ranks, however, become the avatars not only of the power of Primus, but his undying wrath as well, losing their reason and becoming utterly devoted to the violent destruction of their enemies. These rage-cursed warriors join the Marauder Cults, a society within greater Sentinel culture devoted to bringing doom eternal to their demonic foes. There are those who fear, in his quest to destroy the monsters of hell, that the God King may have created greater monsters still...

Figures: Marauder-Slayers, Nezarim Slayer-Gygas, Wrath-Cursed Slayer

______________________________

Battle Pack releases include at minimum 7 figures - 5 modular trooper characters (including a banner bearer), an 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!
