Bring Out Your Dead

Friday, February 3, 2017

It's official—I will be your main point of miniature unveiling! Erik may jump in from time to time in the future, but it looks like you all are stuck with me. :)

This week in our previews of Pathfinder Battles: Crown of Fangs, we are going to turn (too soon?) to undead, starting with the geist. The geist is basically my favorite undead miniature. It shows you just enough to get your own imagination to creep you out. These things can control haunts, as well as panic you with their terrifying laugh (always necessary). This miniature is good for any campaign were undead are featured, and can be used as wraiths, specters, poltergeist, or whatever creepy incorporeal thing you are throwing at your characters. The geist is a medium, common figure in this set.

Next, we have the banshee. These grief maddened ladies have held a special spot in my heart since I first got into fantasy roleplaying games back in my early teens. I love it whenever they are featured in an adventure, and love the dichotomy of their rage fueled evil, and the tragedy of their creation. They feature in several of our recent adventure paths, and will make your players', and their characters' hearts skip a beat when you put them on the flip mat. You could also use them for ghosts or other wakeful spirits. The banshee is a medium uncommon figure.

Finally this week, we have the figure named Death. It could go by many names, such as The Grim Reaper, The Harvester of Souls, or Dance Macabre. Use it to invite your players to the dance of their lives. Revel in the inevitability of their deaths. It really doesn't get creepier than this. This embodiment of all creatures' weakness is a large uncommon figure.

See you next week!
