In related news … Wizards/Wiz Kids announce Elemental Evil line of miniatures

Posted by on March 4, 2015 ·

As you may or may not know, Wizards of the Coast and Wiz Kids recently announced a new line of minis, this time focusing on Elemental Evil: http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/miniatures/minis_elementalevil

gnollSince some of the same figures used in the first few waves of Attack Wing were also in the previous line of minis (Tyranny of Dragons) were also used for Attack Wing, it seems likely some of this line will be used as well.

The release date was today (March 4th) and several D&D fan sites have been building lists and galleries of images of the figures.

I’ve found a bunch of incomplete lists, but the first complete list (with images) I’ve found was at MiniatureMarket.com.

A glance through the figures, and we can already see some of the figures that will be coming out for Attack Wing. The OP prizes Hieracosphinx and Solar Angel are both from this set, and a couple of the dragons look familiar (though there also seems to be some new poses for some dragons that have already made appearances).

I think my favorite might be the the Gnoll I posted above. What’s yours?

Pop over to MiniatureMarket.com to take a look at the new figures, but if you’re looking for a simple list to copy and paste, here’s one:

The full list:

Elemental Evil #001 Magmin (Common)
Elemental Evil #002 Forest Gnome Ranger (Common)
Elemental Evil #003 Svirfneblin Rogue (Common)
Elemental Evil #004 Fire Snake (Common)
Elemental Evil #005 Fire Bat (Common)
Elemental Evil #006 Psuedodragon (Common)
Elemental Evil #007 Shield Dwarf Fighter (Common)
Elemental Evil #008 Wolf Spider (Common)
Elemental Evil #009 Ghoul (Common)
Elemental Evil #010 Troglodyte (Common)
Elemental Evil #011 Earth Cult Warrior
Elemental Evil #012 Dread Warrior (Common)
Elemental Evil #013 Water Cult Warrior (Common)
Elemental Evil #014 Air Cult Warrior (Uncommon)
Elemental Evil #015 Gold Dwarf Guard (Uncommon)

Chimera (OP5 Prize) Preview Video and some silliness …

Posted by on February 19, 2015 ·

That Teri Girl is still going strong, with another preview of another Organized Play prize:

Chimera:

 

While we wait for the cards to go up into the Legion Builder …

Burning Ballista, Swooping Dragon is also proud to present to you a one-act performance by the Chimera:

Goathead played by … Chimera’s goat head.
Dragonhead played by … Chimera’s dragon head.
Lionhead played by … Chimera’s lion head.

The scene opens with the lovely chimera flying home after a successful hunt.

GOATHEAD is humming and begins to sing.

GOATHEAD: Chim Chimera, Chim Chimera, Chim Chim, Cher-ee …

DRAGONHEAD, growling: No.

LIONHEAD, rolling his eyes: Oh, please. Not again.

DRAGONHEAD, carefully enunciating each syllable: It’s Kai-mare-ah.

GOATHEAD, now grinning: Keymera?

DRAGONHEAD, frowning: KAI-mare-ah.

GOATHEAD, slowly, over-enunciating the word: Cam-er-a?

LIONHEAD, pleading with DRAGONHEAD: Don’t let him bait you, Dragonhead …

DRAGONHEAD, screeching in fury: KAI-MARE-AH!”

LIONHEAD, threatening: I swear, I will steer you both into the next mountainside!

GOATHEAD, glances over LIONHEAD’S head at DRAGONHEAD, catching DRAGONHEAD’s eye.

GOATHEAD, smirking: Whoa there, Kitty Perry, are we gonna hear you roar?

LIONHEAD, roaring: DO NOT CALL ME THAT!

GOATHEAD, with a falsely apologetic face: I’m sorry, didn’t mean to get your Goat!

DRAGONHEAD, snickering and grinning at GOATHEAD: Yeah, we’re sorry, we didn’t mean to let this argument … DRAGON!

GOATHEAD, giggling then yelling: Don’t horn in on my joke!

LIONHEAD, rolling his eyes in frustration: Why am I stuck with you two?

DRAGONHEAD, grinning at LIONHEAD now: We’re sorry, Liono, you know we’re manely joking.”

There is silence for a few long seconds as the Chimera flies majestically.

GOATHEAD, whispering with a loud, exaggerated whisper: We’re not really sorry … we were lion …

LIONHEAD whimpers.

END SCENE.

Oh look, cards are ready.

Torquo and the Chimera Predator plus these Upgrades have been added:

Corrosive Breath
Demonic Assault
Aggressive Surge
Multitasker
Iron Will
