This guy is a bit on the large side, but not as big as the Dracolich. Ashardalon has Ashardalon, the Red Dragon, I believe Drizzt comes with a massive Balor, etc.Ĭount Strahd, Vampire and general villainous jackass.įlesh Golem. Gravestorm is the largest in the box by far, but each board game comes with some big guys. Surprises for the party and you!Īlso, I'm going to list all the minis that come in the set. Most D&D boardgame tiles are not doublesided, so you can either preconstruct a dungeon for buds but leave undiscovered ones flipped over for "fog of war", or handle it like the board game does, drawing new tiles from a stack when a player enters discovery range. I found them neat, but I really just wanted the minis because of the quality and the tiles because.c'mon, really easy dungeon setup. Some people really enjoy the board games. As it turns out, this board game is also a board game! The heroes have abilities they can use, monsters have different attacks and tactics depending on player positioning, there are magic items, traps, etc. You may have noticed cards and tokens galore. I have no idea what that is, but I'm assuming the people who took the photo use it as a dice rolling area.ĮDIT: Those minis you see on there have regulation-size bases, about the size of a quarter, to give you a sense of scale. Here are 11 together, Here are, uh.more than 11, I'm tired, fight me about it.Įverything you see in that second pic comes in the box, except for that upside-down box that says "One Night". Honestly, if you're going to paint it, I'd get some paint tips from /u/GreedoLandooo, because as you may have noticed, his looks pretty wizard.īut wait, there's more! It also comes with 41 dungeon tiles! What are those, you didn't ask? Those are a bunch of interlocking tiles, compatible with any tiles from any of the D&D boardgame sets ( Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, Legend of Drizzt, Temple of Elemental Evil, and Tomb of Annihilation, the last one being the only one I don't own, and that only due to money issues at the moment.) They do not come prepainted, but with the paintjobs I've seen on some prepainted minis, I'd say that could be a pro, a con, or just a neutral to you, depending. These are high quality models, on par with Reaper or Nolzur's. The box comes with 5 hero figures, 7 villain figures (Gravestorm is one of those, and that base he sits on is slightly larger than the bottom of a Rockstar can, so massive), and 30 monster figures, for a total of 42. Looking for Dracolich minis, I'm seeing most sitting at around $18 (and I couldn't find this particular one). SO, let's take a quick look at the Castle Ravenloft Boardgame. but it's also past 4 in the morning here, so that may be a factor! If it comes guaranteed in a booster or on it's own, I can't find it. To readers who want this mini: I can't find it on Amazon, but it is Gravestorm the Dracolich from the Dungeons and Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game. :)Īwesome! I love how the organs look wet and sticky to the touch! My personal favorites are the Caesar's undead set, the Caesar's adventurers set, and the Dark Alliance orcs set.Īnyway, that's where I would start building the collection in the UK.
I know the UK has some great ebay sellers offering the Caesar's miniatures and the dark alliance sets, so you shouldn't have a problem finding them on ebay by searching for the names. Maybe watch amazon uk and see if they get some reasonable prices after christmas. May be a christmas thing, but I would aim to pay about 40 pounds for the base game, (they currently have it for 60 pounds, far too much), and about 25 pounds for hero and monster packs, to count as a good deal.
You will get something like 42 minis per game, a mix of heroes, monsters, and a couple large guys.Ĭhecking on amazon uk, Descent seems way overpriced compared to in the US. There are 4 such board games in total.Įh, kind of surprising board games are the most cost effective way to get miniatures, but that seems to be the case. Ravenloft is where I would start, after that, temple of elemental evil, then wrath of ashlardon and legend of drizzt.
You are aiming for a little over 40 pounds with those, which seems to be the current prices. Amazon uk seems to have good prices on the D&D board games.
