Dark Age Week: Faction Spotlight – The Brood
May 7, 2016 by dignity
We're now going to be taking a look at The Brood and learning more about this strange species that has come to dominate as much of the Dark Age world as it can.
While Mean Jellybean might one of the stranger names out there the Brood are no trifling matter. All of them are bred to be ruthless killers.

DAM this shit gets dark! Im running away in fear :O
I was initially looking at this faction and thinking, “NOPE!”
I am now re-thinking that position.
These are some pretty freaky monsters, like the fact that you have put them down and make sure they stay down!!!!
the Brood just sound awesome. I can imagine a story of the forsaken just repeatedly shooting at these things yelling ” they will not die!”
Ok, we have a winner. Mean Jelly Bean for me. 😀
Stop it with the Factions, each time a background article appears, the ‘ohh, shinny’ syndrome kicks in.
Very dark and Brood-ing.
Too many choices, what do I pick ….. AAAARRRRRGHHH!!
Brood was one of the first factions I looked at and I was quite taken with them and their back story. Love the little puds, imagine a horde of them running round eating everything in sight like a swarm of locusts, yum yum!!!!
Is that new Numbskull art?
The concept on these is brilliant. Some of the other models in the faction are ace- like the ratchet and pud thrower
This has always been favorite factions and hearing more o their background and play style just reinforces that
started off thinking they were a re-tread of the tyranids but the backstory & artwork really caught my imagination, so now my preferred faction is between the outcasts, the kulukani, dragyri and now the brood, it’ll soon be quicker for me to just mention the factions I don’t think I’ll choose……..
It’s mister bean to you sir, very cool faction really liking what have been seeing this week.
Back in the day, I used to collect Tyranids because I love their Giger-esque design and body horror. While the Genestealer Hybrids have a sense of character, I quickly found playing an army with the sole aim of consuming the biomass of everything it encountered pretty dull. So I approached this video liking the art design, but expecting there to be minimal backstory. Instead, we have this tale of survival against the odds and a sense of abandonment when the human creators the Brood worship began to exterminate them. It feels like a reversal of the storyline to ‘Prometheus’. Furthermore,… Read more »
I want to win every thing.
Yurgh they are gribbly! This could be my faction
Didn’t think much of this monster faction but the backstory actually spiked my interest.. and the models look nice too
AAAAHHH Mean Jellybean! love that art from Brom.
Doh! too much gribbly monster i love em. Mr Bank Manager your gods gift to women, lets have a talk…….
The fluff of Dark age is pretty damn awesome
That’s a nice narrative twist for the Brood. It makes them a lot more interesting. Too bad the sculpts don’t really catch my interest. I like the concept art a lot better.
Maybe with resculpts and a more unified color scheme they will be a ‘good looking’ faction to play.
Always wanted to try this faction out but never did. Maybe after they get their new sculpts my resistance will finally fail.
I think I dated her once. It was during my personal Dark Age, ironically.
Not as keen on this faction, but I do like the uniqueness of them.
