Dark Age Week: Faction Spotlight – The Outcast
May 3, 2016 by dignity
We've had a look at the Forsaken and now we're turning our attention towards The Outcast for Dark Age.
These warriors live a hard life out there in the middle of the wasteland and are formed into a range of smaller clans lead by Warlords and Cult Leaders.
Follow Dark Age Week
You might even find a few of them working as slave traders and worse!
Would you side with the Outcasts?

I love that Cool mini is continueint to support and expand Darkage!
Now this factions very tempting, problem is I like the look of both subfactions, which to choose. Need to investigate more.
Salt Flat Nomads over Slavers any day of the week. Come on the Blade Master.
I like the dune looking sub faction 😀
I’m liking the mish mash of models in this faction.
I prefer the Salt Flat Nomas as well, although the Dead-Eye sniper and the slave master with the pistol was really cool models!
I like the outcasts. I’m not sure about the slavers. The nomads are very interesting.
Whoo! My faction of choice for sure. Mongo was the model that really got me interested in the game, and the mad max vibe just instantly sold me on the Outcasts.
I just hope they add some more to the base faction along with the two sub factions as I prefer the look of the basic Outcast guys to either the Nomads or Slavers. Just a bit of a shame that it’s damn near impossible to find an online stockist for Dark Age in the UK.
Element Games and Wayland Games are 2 online stockists I’ve found selling Dark Age, but I do agree that I’m not seeing it in a lot of places.
Hi. A number of UK shops have Dark Age stock, Element Games Stockport, Empire Game Store, GAMES of WAR – Seaham, Travelling Man, Twisted Pinnacle, Wayland Games.
Dark Sphere should have stock by the weekend.
Stock may be a little limited but will change over the coming weeks.
the Outcast faction
Nomads, scavengers, slavers
Do they overlap?
The basic faction overlaps with the other two at least a little from what I can see from the free faction PDF. You can align the base faction with either of the sub factions, gaining access to that sub factions models along with the basic Outcasts, though the slavers lose access to Brutes, Hoj, and Mongo. The two sub factions however cannot align in one force.
Again, this is just a couple minutes look at the faction PDF and I may be wrong.
Hmm, no edit button. Dang. Forgot to mention in the previous post, the Outcasts (or scavengers as you call them) are the basic faction.The nomads and slavers are the sub factions.
These look like the best faction against the forsaken!
Love the look of the Outcasts, more specifically I love the Salt Flat Nomads. Really tempted to start collecting asap after I have had my next pay packet. Will keep watching the other videos though to see what the other faction are like 🙂
MONGÖOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of the these two faction I like the salt lake nomads
really nice models
Finn Deadeye is an amazing sculpt and The Warden looks fab too!
Keep these faction videos coming!
Cool mini definitely did quite well with the sculpts for the Outcasts
Man, I wouldn’t want to meet Mongo face to face.
Looking forward to seeing more of the factions.
” Candygram for Mongo, candygram for Mongo “.
I do like the Salt Flat Nomads more, though, must be that Fremen vibe.
I think I’d lean toward the Nomads myself, though I do like the look of Mongo
Some cool models in the outcasts, I like the Salt guys.
lmao @warzan doing the Herman Munster excited dance 😀
ignore this comment wrong vid, its in the battle report he does the dance lol
Coolminiornot makes some very Nice looking minis and their game looks cool. Seen GMG play it and it looked fun
Love the look of these guys, that blade master guy seems like a good bet on the tabletop as well by the demo game
I would go with the nomads, I like the look of the minis.
not my cup of tea, next factions please.
I like the slavers of Barrow
Every time a Sand Flats Nomad appears on screen, I keep wanting to ask if they can ride sandworms
Seems like the outcast for me so far. Just really appeal to me. Unfortunately the Forsaken really don’t do it for me at all
Are there more minis planed for the saltflatnomads?
I would love flyers 😀
The Salt Flat Nomads really remind me of ‘Dune’ and have very interesting mechanics. I think that they will look great if taken with some Brutes.
Hmm “Father the sleeper has awaken!”^^
Jokes aside Salt falts nomads would be my faction for my great love of dune but I would actually like the Slaver for there backstory and sort of Postaman feel^^
Those Nomads are really, really cool.
I really appreciate the Nomads, especially after seeing them in action during the demo game. What I’d like to see is if these sub-factions get to cross over, maybe in a later expansion? Larger scale game?
I think I would fall into an Outcast player — Love the aesthetics 🙂
Not into slavers (personal preference, not an indictment of choice :)), but damn those Salt Flat models look awesome. Although the ability to work out of the slave role may change my mind.
Can’t decide between the nomads and slavers. Both look awesome!
Love the rough and ready look.
sculpts look good. availability to us though?
ooh talk about a tough choice if I were to play this faction, I like the Nomads because of the fact that they seem like a good hit and run army, but the Slavers have such a good flavor to them and I like Dead-eye and the idea of being a sniper. I am going to have to watch more this week before I can truly make a decision as to which faction (and by extension sub-faction) to play as.
I like the outcasts but I had a closer look last night at the range I htink my favorate has to be core.
Love the theme weeks, and can’t wait to see more.
Salt Flat Nomads all the way!
Also a very nice faction.
For a time, i know that salt nomads will be my faction, Lynette and her pussies release is the last temptation that i need.
Not as much a fan of these guys…
from what ive seen so far I wont choose one faction… I want every faction!
very nice looking models & a possible contender for my faction
Thank you so much for the background. I was not familiar with the history of the factions. This is a big help.
/having slaves was it a tradition as well? No?
Some nice minis in this lot
More my thing than the Forsaken, especially the Desert Nomad/Freman feel to the models.
outcasts looks very cool
Such well though out factions. Very cool!
Yes. Liking this faction a lot now I’ve seen more of it.
The warriors with the crossbows and the moonless night characters sounds very cool and great to paint.
The slaver miniature with the female slave in tow looks awesome and the slaver with the pistol looks even better than the concept art.
Enjoying this coverage a lot.
I want to say this is the faction for me, but I have a suspicion that there are many more cool things coming.
…..Nomads and Mongo….All the way…..
The nomads are pretty sweet.
Given the backstory of the Forsaken, I was expecting a kind of noble savage story from the salt flat nomads. Those were my expectations, but I have no idea if I’m right. I didn’t really get anything on the backstory from that half of the faction. Other than they are a melee based team, what makes them tick?
Not a bad faction, but not really for me,
They don’t have stillsuits, but they still give off a Fremen vibe..
can we have reasonalby sized sandworms maybe? Of course, then the slavers would most likely have something like that. Might have to settle for a dune buggy or Ornathopter then.
“Bi-la Kifa!”
Tribal warriors are pretty sweet. Looks like they can be used in several different settings.
Slavers look interesting. Love bionic eye sniper.
Prize me up bitches! lol…
My gaming group is really wanting to get into this now, specifically because of the Dark Age week videos!
In it to win it :). Could think of a better pun
Time to pick up slavers, throw away units are always a good time.
Liking the look of the “Slavers”, this could be a faction i`d look into getting and playing.
The mini`s look cool, i`m liking the mini and art work for Finn Deadeye. If i do go for the slavers, she`s the reason……………
I like the Fremen vibe I’m getting from the Salt Flats Nomads 🙂
Love the sand guys.
Indeed, I feel a tugging at the fringes of my heart out to the white wastes. Venture into bleak and barren badlands, wanderer of cracked plaines, to set claim to freedom and fortune by will, wits, and force of the own hand in the windswept blazing wilderness.
Beyond the thick and secure walls of this fortress.
Not sure I’m in to The Outcast as a faction.
A very characterful cast of models for the Outcast. Mongo shows the typical PA look, but then Bendahrin Durshe shows more of a Nomadic tribe warriors that I don’t see too often in similar settings…a lot of Prince of Persia vibes going on with the Salt Flats Nomads. Very cool indeed!
This is slowly swaying me into Outcasts as well, but I’m plenty certain my shiny syndrome would sway me to other factions once BoW releases their spotlights.
I’m digging the Moonless Night mini.
Too many choices.
I’d love for Dark Age to take off over in the UK. There has been next to no support up until now. Glad to see CMON are starting to push it more.
Looks like I’ll be starting another faction.
Quite interesting background!
Really like the look of the Outcasts will hold off though to see what the other factions are like
The Salt Nomads are fantastic! 😀
I guess the new skin tone tutorial would work great with the moon less night unit. I like the background of dark age its rich enough to give you room for exploring while you are playing the game.
Dark Age is awesome!
I had just finished my outcasts and then they re released all the models with new sculpts. 🙁
They’re some ugly looking buggers…so I’d definitely have them on my side!
Saltflat nomads..now that’s my kinda of fun!
Yay! Dark Age!
This is a really nice looking faction, definitely pulling my attention away from the Foresaken. Probably need to look into them more though – I like models from both subfactions
Those nomads might be my faction. I really like the sculpts for the basic troops.
I love the nomads!
This is lovely!
Vendetta.. she owns the table i think 🙂
I already liked the mad max-like look of the older outcasts, but the salt flat ones are just incredibly awesome looking. Definitely in my top3 for this game.
Shameless contest post.
Recently built my mongo. Huge!!
The new sculpts are amazing.
Wished I’d seen some of these back before I went Saint John.
Weekends on hold to catch up watching all these lol
The Outcasts may just be enslaving me to this game. Love all the new models.
Do have some interest in the nomads.
Dark Age is so cool!
I’m really diggin’ sniper girl and all those whips and chains. I thin this might be my faction.
Dark Age looks fun!
I would let Deadeye shoot me!!! Just sayin, that is one sexy model.
This was interesting!
Again, very cool but not the faction for me.
Wow! This looks fantastic!
It looks interesting!
Loving the chain gang. The whole idea of the slavers being offered a chance of freedom if they do well in battle is awesome.
Dark Age Week was cool!
Wow, awesome!
Dark Age rox!
I want these too now!
This was excellent!
I’m absolutely amazed by Dark Age!
