The Heroes The Galaxy Needs

Monday, June 23, 2020

Last week we looked at the Starfinder Battles: Galactic Villains set of prepainted plastic miniatures from WizKids, and I promised to reveal its counterpart, Starfinder Battles: Galactic Heroes this week. I am nothing if not a man of my word, so here we go!

As with Galactic Villains, this non-randomized set of six figures is the perfect collection to jump start your Starfinder Battles collection. One of the things we’ve heard players and GMs alike ask for are minis representing Starfinder’s unique races, as there are few other science fiction or fantasy miniatures on the market they can use as acceptable stand-ins. Thus, we focused on those same races for this introductory set.

Check out all six of the figures in the set (all Medium except the ysoki, which is Small): Android Xenoseeker, Kasatha Thaumaturge, Lashunta Mercenary Commando, Shirren Soldier, Ysoki Technomancer, and Vesk Champion!

This array of characters should provide most Starfinder groups with enough variety to put together a party of galactic adventurers, and GMs can easily repurpose any of the figures into enemies or potential allies.

That’s it for previews of our introductory Starfinder Battles sets. Look for Galactic Heroes and Galactic Villains in game stores or here on paizo.com in late July. We and WizKids will be monitoring performance and general reception to decide what to do next, so please make sure to leave product reviews or join in the paizo.com messageboards to let us know what you think.

Until next time, Starfinders, don’t stare straight into the Burning Archipelago!
