Paizo Announces ‘Pathfinder Battles: The Lost Coast’
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014
Paizo announced details on its next set of Pathfinder Battles miniatures, according to hobby industry news website ICv2.com. The Lost Coast set will release in November.
The Lost Coast set will contain 45 figures, and unlike previous sets, will not be based on characters from a specific Pathfinder Adventure Path, as previous sets Reign of Winter and Wrath of Righteous were. Instead, this release will be a broad-based set based on multiple Pathfinder RPG products, but with a specific focus on the popular region of Varisia, which has been the setting for previous Adventure Paths and other releases.
The set will include monsters, heroes and humanoids inspired by previous releases, as well as new monster types not yet released in this figure line. The case incentive figure will be the “Gargantuan Shemhazian Demon,” which is also the largest figure produced to date.
Each Lost Coast booster contains 1 large figure and 3 medium/small figures. The Lost Coast Standard Brick contains 8boosters (32 total figures.) The Lost Coast Standard Case contains 4 Standard Bricks (32 boosters, 128 figures).

The Latest on ‘Attack Wing: Dungeons & Dragons’
Thursday, May 15th, 2014
Earlier this week Wizkids updated some of the details on Attack Wing: Dungeons & Dragons, scheduled for release on October 1st of this year.
These days it’s super rare that a game catches my interest and holds it for so long, especially through development, but Attack Wing: Dungeons & Dragons is something that I’m really looking forward to. In case you haven’t been following it, Attack Wing: Dungeons & Dragons uses the FlightPath mechanics that were previously seen in Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Trek: Attack Wing. As players we’ll get to control dogfighting dragons, while also having forces on the ground waste our opponents with! Dragons, giants, and spell casting elves? Sign me up!
The Starter Set
Some information and preview pictures of the starter set were originally shared at the Gama Trade Show, but WizKids passed on the final solicitation information recently. The Attack Wing: D&D Starter Set will include three pre-painted plastic dragons (Red, Blue, and Copper) with bases and pegs, three maneuver dials, cards and tokens. It’ll retail for $49.99.
Wave 1 Expansions
I’m pretty psyched that there looks to be more than a couple expansions scheduled for launch. I can’t wait to see how they’ve handled the new ground element, which is something entirely new just for Attack Wing: Dungeons & Dragons.
The Green Dragon Expansion Pack will include a pre-painted Green Dragon plastic miniature with base and pegs, a maneuver dial, cards and tokens. It will retail for $24.99.
The Sun Elf Wizard Expansion Pack will include a pre-painted Sun Elf Wizard plastic miniature with base and pegs, a maneuver dial, cards and tokens. It will retail for $14.99.
The Frost Giant Expansion Pack will include a pre-painted Frost Giant plastic miniature with base and pegs, a maneuver dial, cards and tokens. It will retail for $24.99.
The Sun Elf Guard Troop Expansion Pack will include six pre-painted Sun Elf Guard Troop plastic miniatures with bases and pegs, a maneuver dial, cards and tokens. It will retail for $24.99.
The Hobgoblin Troop Expansion Pack will include six pre-painted Hobgoblin Troop plastic miniatures with bases and pegs, a maneuver dial, cards and tokens. It will retail for $24.99.
The Dwarven Ballista Expansion Pack will include a pre-painted Dwarven Ballista plastic miniature with base and pegs, a maneuver dial, cards and tokens. It will reatils for $14.99.
The Wraith Expansion Pack will include two pre-painted Wraith plastic miniatures with base and pegs, two maneuver dials, cards and tokens. It will retail for $19.99.
That about does it for the first wave. I’ve heard that the second wave will have things like a black dragon and some angels.
I’m not sure what the points for each figure will look like, but the idea of piloting a red dragon, a black dragon, and a band of hobgoblins seems pretty neat to me! Let me know what you think in the comments!
