It Takes A Village

The Teranadon sure is a surprise, and I’m looking forward to the Boar Demon. Too bad he’s a rare. With dinosaurs, demons and aberrations, this set certainly is covering a wide selection of creatures. But I guess that is to be expected for the first huge offerings in quite some time.

The camp exceeded my expectations, it is amazing that all that stuff fits within the walls.

Are the two bonfires fitted with a LED?
They really look like there is the option to light them up.

I really have to say that this is THE goblinoid set, never have there been so many in one offering.
I count 5 different goblins (6 with the alternate Paint version),
3 bugbears (+1 alternate) &
3 hobgoblins (+ 1 alternate).
In addition to at least three orcs (+ 2 alternate versions).

That makes for a dozen different monstrous humanoids (the alternate weapon versions replace the dressings) out of 44 minis in the set, which is quite a lot.

I am not sure about the pose of the Pteranodon being a good one for use in a battle, it looks more like it is in "flight-mode".
An open maw and broader gliding wings would maybe be better, but i am glad that we get this creature .

We now know 30 of the 44 minis in this set plus two of the (six?) alternate weapon sculpts.

On the Pteranodon, I think it's more combatty that one with the wings open - it looks like it has folded it's wings and is diving in on the party...

Dang, I want all of these. How are these things sold? Is it one complete set you buy or is it a booster pack model that you need to keep snagging things for?

And what should I expect them to cost?

Here ya go.

Case is if you want everything.

In my count, we should get two more uncommon huge minis in this set.

The most used huge creature in the Adventures which hasn't been made is by far the BULETTE, a CR 7 magical beast in 1e and a creature 8 animal in 2e.

That leaves a whopping 26 other possibilities from the first Bestiary.

I doubt we will get a dinosaur, as there are many toys in the right size.
That eleminates the Ankylosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Stegosaurus & Triceratops.
I also doubt that we will get a real world animal, which takes care of the Elephant, Giant Squid, Mastodon & Orca.
With the huge blue dragon being a rare in this set, it is unlikely it also has the huge green, which is the only missing chromatic huge dragon.
A metallic huge is unlikely too, imo.

That leaves:
-Bebilith (not in the 2e Bestiary)
-Behir (same)
-Black Pudding
-Cloud Giant (the only missing giant)
-Cauchemar
-Froghemoth (we just had one from D&D)
-Giant Flytrap
-Giant Slug
-Remorhaz
-Retriever (Not in the 2e Bestiary)
-Shoggoth
-Treant

Normally i'd say it has to be the SHOGGOTH, as that creature also shows up in every second AP, but i don't think we'll get a third huge rare in this set, which this CR 19 ooze/ creature 18 aberration would have to be.

That makes the Treant being the most likely imo.

Other minis that are much needed are:
-Boar (there is one in "Fall of Plaguestone")
-Cat (as familiar & town animal & animal form)
-Crocodile
-Dire Hyena/Hyaenodon never done in ppm
-Drider (the unique male PF Version)
-Homunculus (never done in ppm)
-Merfolk (male & female please)
-Monkey (never done)
-Pony (never done)
-Rat (never done)
-Rust Monster
-Sea Hag (never done)
-Shocker Lizard (never done)
-Toad/Frog (never done)
-Viper/Snake (never done)

Went to add a subscription and the price discount for the new set isn't the same discount for the previous, its like it is flagged by MSRP instead of Paizo Price. Posted in a couple spots but since this is up I am posting here too.

Posted in the Sub Thread and in CS forum.

Thanks! Want to add the sub under the correct prices!

Dang, I want all of these. How are these things sold? Is it one complete set you buy or is it a booster pack model that you need to keep snagging things for?

And what should I expect them to cost?

Boosters are blind boxes, broken out of a brick/case. Bricks are broken from a Case. In a Case you are pretty much guaranteed to get at least 1 of each of the items. This is why there are subscriptions that cost quite a bit less, even get the case incentive at a discount.

Normal Case is 399 from Paizo. Subscription cuts 30% of that cost down to about 280. Case incentives are 75% off for each case you get with your subscription. So you sub to 1 case and get 1 incentive (Goblin Village) at 75% off. MSRP on the village is 100$ so 25 bucks

Subscriptions wind up being right around the 300$ mark for a Sub and Incentive. Gets you the whole set, multiple copies of commons and uncommons and typically at least 1 of each rare, sometimes more.

I just went to make a subscription and the cost appears to be wrong, looks like the discount is applying to the MSRP and I posted in a couple of spots hoping to get it fixed before I subscribe!

Legendary Adventures

Battles Subscription

Looks pretty awesome!

Are the two bonfires fitted with a LED?

They really look like there is the option to light them up.

WizKids might have put an LED in them for the diorama for dramatic effect, but there are no LEDs in the retail version of the bonfires. You could easily modify them to include such, but they don't come that was standard.

I can't help but interject here, given the article title. :-p

While we're talking about "It takes a village," let's hear it for the many Pathfinder Society volunteers who put in an incredible number of unpaid hours to promote Society play and Paizo's products in general.

Thank you venture officers, agents, store coordinators, judges. None of this larger enterprise would work without your efforts!

That goblin village looks amazing! So excited for this set!

So there are goblin babies in this set? I think the real question here is 'should the paladin get rid of them?'

And that, my friend, is why they are in the set

That is simply diabolical.

nah, goblins aren‘t evil.

Seeing and hearing what all is included in this set has me seriously considering subscribing to the Pathfinder Battles miniatures again. A HUGE dragon! OMG! That is my all-time favorite chromatic dragon!
And of course, an Aboleth and all the other wonderful creatures and characters! (Just not sure if I can afford it).

But I’m really thinking about it.

Well ... I took a little bite, and ordered the preview set of 8 miniatures.

Yea... soon as they fix the Sub pricing for Legendary I will be re upping my battles sub too

„... goblins are just ...
sorta bad.“

Goblins aren't bad, they're just ... sculpted that way. ;-)

Goblins don’t kill people, DM’s kill people.

These look fantastic.

I'd really like to see a set done for kobolds at some point at this level of detail and care. There's a real lack of decent entries in the adorable lizard in miniature category.

Goblins don't kill people; superfluous apostrophes kill people. <Goblin Grin>

What is the PF1e / D&D name for a boar demon? I cant say I recognize it. Or is it new to 2e?

Nalfeshnee.

Nalfeshnee.

Aaah. I know those! Neat. Thanks

Nalfeshnee.

Gesundheit.

@Mark Moreland

Could you share how many different HUGE minis are in the set?
My guess is six (4 uncommons & 2 rares), but it could be a different split with the larges.

Thank you, looking forward for (hopefully) tonight's Blog. :-)
