<p>As for why the Cemetery of the Fallen set is being shown last, I was waiting until we had an image of the full set all painted and packaged. Until Toy Fair, we in the office had only ever seen digital renders that didn't do justice to how the pieces look in relation to one another or individual paint masters that didn't illustrate the duplicated pieces. I'll talk a bit more about that in next week's blog. </blockquote><p>Thank you, Mark! :-)
<p>Order deadline for the
<br />
"Pathfinder Battles: Legendary Adventures Preview Pack" is may 14th 2019, but as we already know it's content, i ordered one.</p>
<p>Order deadline for "Pathfinder Battles: Legendary Adventures Case of 4 Booster Bricks (8 ct.) with Goblin Village Premium Set" is june 11th.
<br />
I already know i want the village, but i don't know how many walls are included and if one is enough.
<br />
The fact which huge uncommon minis will be in the set ultimately decide, if i order two bricks, a case or two cases (to get two villages).</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate it, if you could reveal the parts of the incentive and six to eight uncommon huge minis before that date.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and dedication! :-)</p>Mark Moreland wrote:Marco Massoudi wrote:I really can't stress enough, how important it is for international buyers to show the entire incentive first and before order cut off date (normally about three months before release date), otherwise we may not get them.

I love that you're working hard to have these fully revealed before subs charge, and that you're trying to be considerate of international buyers too, since that's a big ask, but an important one for them.

<p>I really like a lot of the common minis best:
<br />
-Poltergeist
<br />
-Kyton Evangelist
<br />
-Formian Worker
<br />
-Razmir Cultist
<br />
-Hyena
<br />
-Skeletal Soldier
<br />
-Draugr
<br />
The fact that a case will have 4-5 of each of them is great.</p>
<p>From the uncommon minis i like:
<br />
-Mohrg
<br />
-Formian Warrior
<br />
-Skeletal Samurai</p>
<p>and from the larges:
<br />
-Tomb Giant
<br />
-Scorpionfolk
<br />
-Warmonger Devil
<br />
best. Getting about three of each in a case will be nice.</p>
<p>I like half of the rares:
<br />
-Thanadaemon
<br />
-Urgathoa
<br />
-Razmir
<br />
-Arazni
<br />
-Formian Queen
<br />
-Floating Throne with Pharasma</p>
<p>Dressings:
<br />
-Crypt Wall with removable corpses &
<br />
-Rack
<br />
are incredible!
<br />
The rest isn't bad.</p>
<p>But the most useful and best piece is the "Cemetery of the Fallen" incentive.
<br />
I really can't stress enough, how important it is for international buyers to show the entire incentive first and before order cut off date (normally about three months before release date), otherwise we may not get them.

<p>Skeletal Soldier: This mini looks like a "Cairn Wight" illustration (i don't remember from where) and can stand in for all kinds of more fleshy, intelligent undead, like maybe Juju Zombies. I also like that it has a weapon, shield and armor. It looks a little viking in style and could be used in the Land of the Linnorm Kings.
<br />
This being a common allows for a small warband troop being built easily.</p>
<p>Draugr: This CR 2 from Bestiar 2 (page 110) looks great and may also be used for an undead barbarian. It is the 84th creature from Bestiary 2 to be adapted into a ppm (out of 285 total, 45 of them huge or larger). You can also build a small crew of drowned sailors with it being common.</p>
<p>Leng Ghoul: This CR 10 undead from Bestiary 5 (page 120) is only the 15th mini from that volume. The common variety is unexpected.</p>
<p>Arazni: This CR 26/MR 8 mini looks very similiar to the illustration on page 51 of the "Mythic Realms" Campaign Setting (where you can find her stats). I like it.</p>
<p>Canopic Jars: These can also be seen on page 51 of Mythic Realms, but are from the "Artifacts & Legends" Campaign Setting (page 13) originally.
<br />
I really like the look of them and agree that they should possibly be medium instead of presumably small.
<br />
It's great that we get two instead of one, even if a set of four individual ones would have been the best.</p>
<p>Whispering Tyrant:
<br />
All illustrations have the headpiece much bigger with thicker horns.
<br />
Also the armor is more prominent with much more bright yellow gold colors.
<br />
The cloak and robe are also much thinner and torn, like the skeletal arms. The whole mini looks too dark with this color scheme. I really don't think it does the character justice.
<br />
You can find the stats for this CR 26/MR 10 bad boy on pages 62 & 63 of "Mythic Realms".</p>Skeletal Samurai: I like it, it can either be an undead from Tian-Xia (useful for Jade Regent) or a different kind of Skeletal Champion.
