The Sins of the Saviors paper minis set is another excellent addition to the line. With all the minis needed to run the 5th volume of the first Pathfinder AP, there are a *lot* of minis here!
Most of the creatures in this set are humanoids, as fits the adventure. The highlight is the hordes of Warriors of Wrath and Sinspawn Axemen, which really make the fights in the Wrath wing feel epic. The Shemhazian Demon is also a fantastic addition, and looks great on the table!
The tongue-in-cheek complaint about this set is that there are no minis provided for the PCs' evil doppelgangers! However, on a more serious note, the set does have a few issues. The Hounds of Tindalos and Lamashtu look great, but are so dark that any details get lost in what looks on the table like just a silhouette. Also, the set is missing a couple "flavor" pieces, such as the giant peacock from the Shimmering Veils. Also, be aware that the set has not (yet) been updated for the new Anniversary Edition of Rise of the Runelords, though hopefully that will be remedied soon.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this set, particularly if you are planning to run Sins of the Saviors. For a fraction of the price of plastic or metal minis, and a modest investment of time, you can have all the bad guys you will need to run this very fun adventure!
You know what's better than having the right mini for the critters you use at the table? That's right, having them on the cheap!
And now, you too can own your very own set of fantastic, exactly-as-written, miniatures for your RotRL games.
If you've seen the art in the books, you have a good idea of what you're going to be looking at. The style blends well with the original artwork from the adventure, and includes everything you'll need to chase those pesky PCs through Book 5.
Plus, lots of the critters are multi-use...after all, who doesn't want a bunch of axe-wielding maniac monsters for their table?
But this is just an awesome set. From what I can see, you get just about everything you need to run the entire Sins of the Saviors adventure.
All the paper minis for an entire AP Issue!
The artwork is good. Callous Jack's work keeps getting better as these sets go on, and he's captured some good character with his minis. That's especially important in a set like this, where so many of the opponents are humanoids, some of whom might interact with PCs, so having some character in the artwork makes them even easier to roleplay and imagine.
Now, you get a lot of minis for the price. And a lot of cool minis that would be usable in other games:
Mummies- check
Mephits- check
Demons- Double Check...these demons have some character...
Wraiths- check
Golems- check
and more.
For $4.99 and $2.00 of cardstock, you get 10 pages of minis to fill your games.
This another thing that I really think sets Paizo and Pathfinder head and shoulders above other game companies. Affordable, high quality ties ins and props for their games.
OK, I'm ranting (and drooling a little) but I just thought this set was awesome, cool, a great value, and just fun.
