Very strange hobgoblins these.
The Erinyes is excellent and the rarity means easy to get. Great choice, never mind the simple paint scheme it matches the artwork perfectly. I truly hope this one translates well from digital to plastic.
The peri is common so I shouldn't expect to much but it's the first in the set that gas me going "hmm", not love not hate just neutral. I imagine the transparent wings will make it better in hand though.
Still looking to be an awesome set. Will we be seeing production minis at some point? It's always nice to see the actual thing rather than just the digitals

Now you have shown us all 13 commons.
The Blue Guard is solid.
The Peri is the first common mini in this set, that i don't like very much.
It is less detailed than the picture in Bestiary 3.
Normally i would say that it is to obscure to be a common and should probably be switched with the Bearded Devil (uncommon) at CR5, rarity-wise.
But i guess it's cool they got switched, so we can get a more detailed Bearded Devil mini.
The Erinyes is perfect!
Also at uncommon, we should get 3 in a case, which is the maximum number encountered at once.
Thanks for the Con stories and great previews, Erik!
4 medium uncommon creatures,
3 large uncommon creatures,
4 rare medium creatures (Aasimar Paladin included) and 1 rare large creature (Planetar) to show!
And 5 dressings. ;-)
Have fun at GenCon, Erik!

1 large rare? We've seen pit fiend and gynosphinx, what was the other one? Typically 4 large rares in a set.
Keketar Protean, yeah sorry - we havn't seen the 3D render yet, only the picture from the Bestiary 2, my bad.
But i know it's gonna be good.13 weeks till release & 18 renders yet to show.
I think it would be ok to switch to pictures of production minis (if available).
I think Wizkids will show lots of actual minis next week at GenCon - they have too, because they haven't shown any actual production minis from the D&D set and only 10 renders - and the set releases on september 1st.
They will also have some PFB minis, i'm sure.
Another promo repaint to be endlessly worried about. -_-
Heh. Glad it's not just me. :)

I feel that OCD need to complete, but I have learned to take a Zen approach. You must learn to let go....

"It's unbelievably hot in Seattle right now"
*looks up Seattle forecast for the week*
*sees not a single day with a high above 80F*
*looks up Seattle record high temp for August 1*
*it's 86F*
*weeps internally*
liking the sculpts, not so keen on a CR14 as a common.
Is it a good stand in for a lower CR creature?

I don't think WizKids will be at GenCon. If we see minis they might have to be from other sources.

I just looked at the exhibition hall map and noted that WizKids does not have a booth there. This means that neither Wizards or WizKids will be displaying the D&D minis at the convention.
As this is "the big convention" to be at, I can't believe either will not have a presence in the exhibition hall. Its such a great opportunity to promote the product lines, and attach real faces to the people making the games. Oh well... I guess that just means more room for the Paizo booth!

I know why they are not there - Storm King's Thunder has been pushed back to september 30th.
That means NO MINIATURE NEWS AT GEN CON! :-(
Getting real tired of the delays -.-

It is unfortunate that we have these pauses, however given how many other things Erik is involved with, to some degree they are inevitable. Add into that mix convention season, and the pressures on his time are even greater. Erik is also the point person on the miniatures line, so it may not be a task he could really delegate.
Given that Paizo's competitor has no set schedule for reveals, and appears to give little value in building interest and excitement around the release of a new set, I'd say we are still getting a decent amount of reveals from Paizo.

I fear we won't get another preview so fast.
Lisa Stevens wrote that Erik changed the schedule of the rpg line a few weeks before gen con and he understandably will have less time now.
Notice how he wrote "see you back here in a couple weeks" in this blog?
:-(
(it's all for better quality, so it is cool.)
I have now added new pictures of the GenCon 2016 promo minis to my gallery:
http://www.pathfinderminis.com/gallery0.htm
I'm also doing a soft launch of my Facebook site for letting people know when new minis have been added to the galleries. Feel free to keep an eye on:

you've been a bit too generous with the "r" in King Irovettis name there.

Sorry, I should clarify. I understand the preview delays. What I do appreciate is the huge gap between sets. Honestly, forcing a 10 month gap between sets because another company has a mini set coming out is stupid. They've had a release more recently, if anything whiskidz should have pushed back THEIR set. Rusty Dragon came out in JANUARY. this big a gap is absurd.

I absolutely agree with you.
But there is nothing Paizo or Erik can do about it.
Wizkids decides when to publish which minis.
And i guess Wizards of the Coast and D&D are able to influence these decisions a little more than Paizo, because frankly they are much bigger as company and as a brand.
That said, it was the first time that there has been a gap longer than 7 month between 2 sets and i have heard that the nexz set is planned for a summer release.
We had times when there was just 2 months between sets, which was very short, but 10 months is too long.
Here's hopin' that the future is better. :-)

Definitely with you there! Sadly, WizKids calls the shots, and Paizo really has no control over the release schedule -- and I'm fairly certain that they are just as frustrated about it as we are.
While I do also enjoy collecting the D&D miniatures, historically WotC only produces the minis when they are supported by other lines (i.e. the same minis are used in D&D Attack Wing and D&D boardgames). Should support for these other product lines drop, the D&D Icons line could be cancelled -- this would allow for more Pathfinder Battles releases then :)

But it rolls off the tongue better that way :)
Thanks for noticing it -- all fixed now.

Damn, i'm hungry for some miniature news.
D&D hasn't been able to show anything new for months and their set is supposed to come out on sept 21st.
I didn't order it, because i don't know what to expect.
Instead i'm going to put my money into a case and incentive of Deadly Foes and hope Erik has the time between writing the "Pathfinder: Worldscape" comics, putting together the "2016 Product Catalog" and managing the RPG line, to post a miniature-sized miniature blog. ;-)

Glad to have lived up to your hopes, Marco! :)
You exceeded them by far, Erik - i would have been happy with just one mini render and what did i get?
3 and a lot of very exciting vague hints at the next TWO sets!Is it true that you are the creator of GALT?
If so, great job!
I would love to see a few (2 male, 2 female?) Grey Gardeners and a Final Blade guillotine as a large dressing piece!
:-)
