June Battle Pack Preview
🕑 Added 2020-05-31 08:55:11 +0000 UTCReleasing this June is the next Battle Pack from Battle Yak Miniatures - the Primal Heart Eldarch!
The June Battle Pack will include everything you see here (and more!):
The Phyllarc Imagos make up the majority of the Primal Heart's war-broods. Like figures from past releases, there will be some pre-built ready to go Imagos, as well as fully modular ones, with all of the elements you see here including weapons, heads, and other modular attributes that you can use to customize your printed creations.
The Primal Heart Eldarch use living weapon-symbionts, some of which are bonded directly to their bodies. The June Battle Pack also includes standalone versions of these weapons to be used as loot or decorations.
The lesser breeds of the Primal Heart are led by the ferocious Phyllarc Predators, a higher evolution of the eldarch with a mighty living carapace that grants it monstrous size.
The Predator is compatible with Imago symbiont-weaponry (with just a bit of digital scaling), and also has a few unique weapons of its own. Like the Imagos, it comes with both pre-built and modular versions, including everything you need to customize your alpha beast. The Predator is even frightening enough to go unarmed!
Predators can also be further augmented with a pair of exclusive evolutionary bio-morphs. The Monarch Wings grant the Predator flight, while the Monarch Blades grant them even greater killing capacity!
The June Battle Pack also features a set of sculpted themed bases representing the Primal Growth, an ever-growing carpet of organic matter that spreads from the Primal Heart Eldarch's hive-jungles! This frightful tide of flesh will overwhelm the world, if the will of the Primal Heart is not challenged... Bases come in both decorated and undecorated versions, and will include the various gribbly tendrils and pustules you see here as separate files for even more customization options.

Nice concept :o The armor feels like dark elves to me. Great design.
Battle Yak
They're based more on the concept of 'wood elves' actually. The idea of elves being in harmony with nature, that sort of thing. I had the idea that one such civilization of elves took 'being close to nature' to the extreme, and wound up merging and hybridizing themselves with the traits of all living things, genetically engineering themselves into their current state with symbiotic armor and weaponry. Less 'maintain the harmony of nature's current state' elves and more 'juice up nature into an unstoppable hybrid nightmare that swallows the world' elves. I'll go into the lore more when I make the release post.

Awesome!

Nothing like a bow-type at present, Imagos are meant to be more close-range fighters. When I revisit this concept and release 'Wave 2', I will introduce the dedicated ranged units of the Primal Heart, such as the Phyllarc Hornets and Phyllarc Slivans. Hornets have winged carapaces that allow them to fly, while Slivans are more medusa-like. I imagine both types having symbiont-bows and similar ranged armaments (maybe even guns!).

So what are they exactly? dark elves?

I've just got to say - you are making my upcoming Kings of War teams flipping *epic*. Is one of those weapons a bow-type? Or is the Glaive the only ranged option in there?
