Dungeons & Dragons Tradable Miniatures Game Starter

The D&D Miniatures line features hundreds of ready-to-play miniatures from the Dungeons & Dragons universe. You’ll find heroes, villains, and monsters of all descriptions. Now you can play out furious battles, add the miniatures to your roleplaying sessions, or trade and collect the miniatures set by set. Miniatures represent heroes and monsters: warriors, wizards, dragons, demons, ferocious beasts, and terrifying undead. Each miniature is at 30mm scale. They range in size from tiny to massive. All are fully assembled and painted.

Each miniature comes with a two-sided stat card. Skirmish: One side has the creature’s description for skirmish combat. Each creature’s strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities are spelled out. Some miniatures are commanders, and they improve the fighting ability of the other creatures in their warbands. Roleplaying: The other side of the stat card has the creature’s description for D&D roleplaying. You can drop these creatures right into your next D&D roleplaying session. Epic: Some figures come with a second card giving their Epic stats—these are very powerful versions of certain creatures that are especially useful in high-level games.

The rulebooks, components, and configuration of this latest Starter Set have all been modified to introduce those unfamiliar with Dungeons & Dragons or miniatures gaming to basic skirmish concepts in an easy yet fun manner. Key changes include a new “Start Here” rulebook that takes a step-by-step approach to terms, battle tactics, and other game elements. This rulebook also features the two fixed miniatures that are now found in every Starter Set, allowing every purchaser the same learning experience right out of the box. Two full-color, double-sided maps supply vital play surfaces and also make a great visual impact.

In addition to new components, the overall game rules have been updated to facilitate faster gameplay and encourage larger battles. Rules have been adjusted to accommodate any size figure, from tiny to huge and even beyond, and will be compatible with any Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Game release. The set also includes an elite group of figures that come with a second, epic-level stat card, allowing players to assemble higher-value armies with which to do battle. The Entry Pack gives you everything you need to play fast, challenging skirmish battles. You get 16 random miniatures, a stat card for each miniature, a battle grid, a 20-sided die (d20), damage counters, and the skirmish rulebook. Special hints for beginners get you playing quickly.
