"Paizo Conference Room?" I think you mean Valhalla. You meet, you die, you meet again.
I like them, but Zadims eyes kinda freak me out.
Look better than last set, which wasn't up to normal quality.
Honestly, I like the wolf, but we already have a wolf. I'd much prefer a gibbon :(
I got Set 5 today. All of the paint jobs were superb! Zadim is my favorite of the set; excellent sculpt, wonderful detail, and his face is perfectly painted. I suddenly feel the need for more middle-eastern themed characters! Enora is my next favorite; her robe and cloak have wonderful designs applied to them. Kes is exceptionally well sculpted and painted. She'll see use as a monk at some point in my campaign. Adowyn was my most anticipated figure from the set but I'm disappointed in the end result. The sculpt's proportions seem off to me; legs too long, waist too narrow, and her fur boots too bulky. But the face is amazingly wel painted. Oloch is a nice figure; he'll fit in well with my orcs. Lastly, we Leryn. I want to like the wolf, but there is something about the way it's head is sculpted that doesn't seem right; it's like it's head is too flattened. In all, a good set with a few minor problems.
Gibbon?

Well, in hand these are great. Detail is excellent, both in sculpt and paint job. If you felt it may have been missing in set 4 then this set will bring you back into the fold. I've read reviews that lord Oloch but I can comfortably say I'm just as impressed by Zadim and Kess. Oh, and at least in the one I have, the faces are very well done, very clear detail and parts are all in the right place - lips, eyes etc.
I have to agree with some previous posts. I already have a plethora of wolf miniatures and don't need another. The gibbon definitely should have been used instead.
Adowyn, huh? Sounds like paying homage to Eowyn of LotR...which is just fine with me!

Has there been an unofficial, or rumour of what is coming next for Pathfinder Battles? If not I'd take some educated guesses, wild-arsed speculation, or fanfic hopes. I know Erik has offered that we might be getting more info soon, but I'm mini-news-hungry this AM.
Huges, huges, huges! <fingers crossed>.

You got to wonder when the Ostog mini will make it into a set, lol
He already exists in unpainted metal and Minimate forms...

While i love the Reaper Miniatures unpainted metal minis and use lots of them in my games (unpainted cause they look really cool), i wish Paizo/Wizkids would make pre-painted plastic versions of them (some exist already like King Irovetti or the Serpentfolk Degenerate).
Red Mantis Assassin is one that comes up a lot.
Thx
I too hope we get a glimpse of the next set tonight.
Even it is only the title. ;-)
I'd like to see an Iconic Villains range - same boxed set style of 5-6 minis at the same price point and paint quality - but focussed on NPCs and key villains.

+1
I'd like to suggest some:
-Runelords
-Red Mantis Assassins
-Hell's Vengeance PCs
-Second Darkness cover Drow
-Mix with: Whispering Tyrant, Razmir, Nyrissa, Jade Regent, Sky Pharaoh...

I also want a male and female kitsune in the next set.
There are 4 full-body images i know of (Bestiary 3, Jade Regent #4, Dragon Empire Gazetteer and Dragon Empire Primer i think).
2 are good, 2 not so much.
Lots of people play them and they are not present in ppm so far.
Also they would fit in with a more nature themed set (which is overdue).
Like the Basidirond. ;-)

Maybe next friday (12th) we could get a preview of the computer renders of all 7 minis from "Iconic Heroes Set 6"?
So far we have seen only 5 of them - the Samurai and Investigator have not been shown.
The week after that (19th) we could get pics of the actual minis, as the street date in Canada is the 17th and in the USA the 24th.
Thx
Looking forward to hearing about both the next Iconic Heroes set and the next featured case set.
How many Iconic Heroes sets are in the works? Is #6 the last or will there be more?

So far only 6 sets have been planned.
But Paizo already said if they sell good enough there will be more.I bought 1-3 and will take a look at set 4 on the 12th (european release date).
I will definetly buy Set 5.
Set 6 interests me very much but i have to wait for actual pictures.
Thank you. I hope they continue making more - these are fun NPCs or cool choices for PCs.

Occult Adventures + all prestige classes is enough "Iconics" for four more sets.

There are 89 prestige classes - so 3 sets beyond the Occult Iconics would not be nearly enough.
That said it is unlikely that we will see most, if not all of them in PPM.
The Occult Heroes would be the next obvious set (#7).
After that only the Vigilante (from march's Ultimate Intrigue) remains.
So far it doesn't look that Horror Adventures introduces new Character Classes.
Some people suggested "Iconic Villains" which i am all for.
The iconics from "Hell's Vengeance", the Runelords, the Bosses from APs like Second Darkness, Council of Thieves, Kingmaker, Carrion Crown, Jade Regent, Mummy's Mask and Hell's Rebels, the Red Mantis Assassins and many more would be great minis.
where did you get 89 prestige classes from?
I only counted the ones in the PRD:
- Core Rule Book (10)
- Advanced Player Guide (8)
plus 6 "Occult" Classes makes four sets of 6

We didn't say that. We're not in any position to say that, because that's WizKids' decision to make, not ours.
We *have* said that we really want to see more, and we have made sure WizKids knows that.

Just sayin': Occult Adventures has 6 awesome iconics. Throw a bonus phantom figure in there in clear green plastic and it's a hit!

Here are better pictures of each seperate mini from set 6:
http://wizkids.com/pathfinder-battles-iconic-heroes-set-6/?mc_cid=984cd6df2 5&mc_eid=37cc15a35c
Unfortunately the price went up to $39.99.
But $5.72 per mini is still ok for the quality.
Considering it has 7 minis instead of 6 it is even a little cheaper per mini than sets 4 & 5.
Still, a long way from the "Beginner Box Heroes" for $12.99 (for 4 minis/$3.25 each).
I have bought sets 1, 2, 3 and will buy 5 & 6.
Only set 4 is uncertain as i don't like most classes and have so far seen only mediocre pictures.
