D&D 5E Tyranny of Dragons D&D minis

[Will Doyle]

Wizkids and Wizards of the Coast announce a new line of prepainted d&d minis for Tyranny of Dragons:

Just when I thought my wallet had recovered from the last lot!

Pathfinder and D&D supported by the same mini company.

Almost makes them kissing cousins.

Wow.

 

[TarionzCousin]

Interesting. I'll be looking at these when they arrive in stores.

Note the middle mini: drow ranger with two scimitars.

 

[jodyjohnson]

The gallery at Wizkids explicitly calls him Drizzt.

The others get generic names.

Hopefully more info at the Toy Fair in a week and a half.

Really, do we need more generic Faerun minis?

I'll be excited if I see a whole line of Dark Sun minis!

Personally, I'd prefer to see box sets of well written adventures containing art, maps and the complete set of minis required to run them.

I don't want to start arbitrarily collecting all over again. In fact, if they are random booster boxes like last time I have told my wife to stab me in the hand if I try to buy any.

Sadly, like most WotC announcements of late, this has left out vital information.
We don't know if these will be randomized or not, the number of minis in the set, if they're generic or entirely tied to the adventure, if they're doing the same thing as Paizo where if you buy a case you get the full set, etc.

It's neat that WotC is licensing plastic minis again, but I'm tired of their press releases just generating more questions.

 

[Plaguescarred]

Great news! They look really well made to boot!

 

[Plaguescarred]

I find the barbarian to look very similar to the concept art one made by Conceptropolis

 

[Dausuul]

Dammit. Just when I was starting to get some money saved up, too. Here, Wizards. I'll just send you my bank account info now, shall I? Save us both the trouble.

Seriously, though, those are some very impressive-looking minis.

Wizkids announcement, but I expect the Wizards of the Coast announcement will double your disappointment.

For reference here is the initial Pathfinder Battles announcement.
