Water Cult Warrior and Adult White Dragon expansions revealed.

Posted by on April 13, 2015 ·

Hello folks,

The Nationals for DNDAW were on Sunday and the remainder of Wave 6 (Water Cult Warrior and Adult White Dragon), Bahamut, and The Premium Ancient Silver Dragon units all showed up. The Water Cult Warrior and Adult White Dragon were revealed by Derek, who won a complete Wave 6 set along with Bahamut, and revealed the cards over on Board Game Geek.

As soon as Bahamut’s cards are posted somewhere, we’ll add them to the Legion Builder as well. For now, here’s the Water Cult Warrior and Adult White Dragon.

Wave 6: Water Cult Warrior

Aeryn Crestin and the Water Cult Warrior plus these Upgrades have been added:

Werecrocodile

WizKids @ The Game Manufacturers Association Trade Show

Posted by on March 20, 2015 ·

Images from the GAMA Trade Show, which runs from March 16th through 20th, have been floating around the web for the last few days. These images have given us some additional information.

We’ve tried to collect it here:

First, let’s start with the next Premium figure, Bahamut!

The Bahamut figure can be seen over at figures.com (along with lots of other figures)

Bahamut

Bahamut, image from figures.com

 

If you zoom in on that image and squint a bit, you can make out some of the details for Bahamut:

He has 3 Dragon Upgrade slots, 1 Arcane Upgrade slot, and 1 Divine Upgrade slot, a Primary Weapon Value of 6, an Agility of 0, 10 Health, and 4 Armor. He has Dodge, Feint, Target, and Concentrate on his Action bar and his unique ability is:

All other friendly Good Creatures within

Range 1 of Bahamut roll +1 attack die.

So Bahamut seems like he would work best as a team player in a large Legion. Of course, he is another figure on the huge 6″ by 6″ base, so there’s limited room on the battlefield for allies … there’s also limited room on a 120 point Legion, as Bahamut costs 84 before you give him any upgrades.

There have been quite a few other pictures which reveal information. Over on boardgamegeek.com, user Michael Van Biesbrouck apparently has much better eyes than me and has pulled this information from the pictures:

[Adult] White dragon upgrades sitting on the shelf: Vicious (disables upgrades of your victims — probably from melee, but covered), Frozen, Evil Sorcerer (4-point dragonrider that will add an extra Arcane slot and has a 3DT ability I couldn’t make out) and Brooch of Shielding (3-point campaign artifact; +2 defence dice against spells and protection from Magic Missile).

Young Blue [Dragon]: 3/1/3/1 stats at level 4. Evade, target and concentrate.

Pegasus: 3/3/4/0 at level 12 (36 points, Bellatoris?), level 7 (28 points) for the generic. Evade, charge and feint … wonder how it will deal damage. 4 Monster slots. Name has +? defence dice against ranged attacks.

Adult White [Dragon]: 4/1/5/1 at level 8 with the ability to turn a concentrate into a hit; evade, charge and target. 3 Dragon and 1 Arcane slots.

Water Cult Warrior: 3/2/4/0 at level 9, all actions except charge.

Earth Cult Warrior Level 7, 3/1/?/? evade/charge/target.

WizKids also talked about its upcoming Organize Play events, including DNDAW:

Elemental Evil Organized Play

So we know we’re getting an Earth Genasi Fighter and an Air Elemental as prizes for the July and August Elemental Evil Organized Play tournaments.

Here’s a picture (original source unknown, but found on Facebook), just because I think the Pegasus looks cool:

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)

Just to avoid any confusion, remember that while these may be the same minis, they are not the Attack Wing versions and do not come with the Attack Wing cards!

Another Premium Figure announced – Silver Dragon

Posted by on February 1, 2015 ·

This is the third huge figure announced by Wiz Kids, following the previously announced Tiamat and Bahamut figures.

Huge Silver Dragon Premium Figure

The idea of Vakka having a bigger brother or sister (or parent) is a little scary! No indication if this is another Ancient Silver like Vakka yet.

The expected release is listed for June 2015!

Wave 3 Mini-Preview

Posted by on January 7, 2015 ·

It took us a few days to clean up the mess Santagos left behind, but now that we have, I thought we could take a look at what is coming in Wave 3.

This information has been available for a while now, but recent conversations made it clear to me that not everyone knows what’s coming next, so let’s talk about it!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

We’ve got a Harpy expansion, a Silver Dragon expansion, and finally a Wyvern expansion. Images obtained from solicitation sheets.

I’m looking forward to the Silver Dragon the most, but I’m hoping the unique Harpy is named “Shirley” so I can make a “Wyvern and Shirley”* Legion!

Wave 3 is currently expected in January, so hopefully we won’t have to wait long for these units to fly into stores!

* trust me, it’s funny. Go ask your parents!

Big Bad Bahamut!

Posted by on December 13, 2014 ·

WizKids has announced Bahamut, the King of the Good Dragons, as an available figure for Dungeons and Dragons: Attack Wing. Here he is:

bahamut

He’s huge, with a 6″ by 6″ base. Even moving one forward means advancing 7.5 inches across the map!

He should be available in April 2015.

Will you be picking him up?

It’s here! It’s here!

Posted by on November 10, 2014 ·

The game is out!

Sorry we have not posted anything recently, the game came out and, well, we got distracted for a bit!

So much AWESOME!

So, what did you all pick up?

We got one of everything.  There was only one serious issue, the Dwarven Ballista’s level/release was broken off and loose in the package. I’ll contact WizKids and see about getting a replacement part, which you can also do by visiting:

http://wizkidsreplacementsystem.com/

There were also some minor issues, like Balagos’ wings, so I’ll be using the information Teri Litorco shared in her Dungeons & Dragons Attack Wing – Model Makeovers Video to help Balagos spread his wings a bit!

My favorite sculpt, at least so far, is the Frost Giant. He just looks amazing:

FrostGiant

What’s your favorite sculpt?
