The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The Adventure Game Trailer
Modiphius has teamed up with Bethesda to bring The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Adventure Game to the tabletop. Players are provided with a one to four-player experience, where they will release their bespoke fantasy hero out into the wilds of Tamriel of old. Combining campaign play, epic battles, looting, side quests and adventure that extends the dives into the grind-worthy video game for new opportunities.

Each player will belong to the Blades, a group of highly skilled protectors of Tamriel. Cooperating or solo-ing it across a broad map you will be hoping to thwart the threat approaching Skyrim. Spread across two campaigns, with three chapters to each; there are many different pathways to take when exploring the game world.

Boasting a huge hoard of quests to dip into and lauded for having hundreds of hours worth of gameplay at the table, you will be choosing from a Nord, Dunmer, Imperial, Altmer, Khajiit or Orsimer. Players will be equipping their characters with armour, weapons and spells before they venture into the unforgiving world.
Miniature Prototypes // The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The Adventure Game
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Adventure Game can be pre-ordered from various major retailers, including the video game store GAME. Alongside the core game, there is also an option to dip into two of the expansions, Dawngard and From The Ashes. You will also find options to upgrade your game even further with a five to eight-player expansion extending the player count and a Miniatures Upgrade which trades out the monster counters for 32mm models.
Previews seem to say that the Adventure Board Game does the video game justice, and I know a fair few people that have spent more time in Skyrim than they have in reality! Would you be interested in picking this title up at release?

Fus!
I wonder, are the minis the same as in Call To Arms? Would make for a nice dual use.
The miniatures are the same but single piece/preassembled (which makes it harder to reach some areas with a paintbrush such as the back of shields). They might be slightly lower detail as well but still a really good bundle for the price. I’d be tempted to pick this up at retail myself if I hadn’t backed it on Gamefound first.
Aren’t most of Modiphius’ minis one piece? I only have the Fallout core box but those are all one piece.
Outside of the boardgame most of those figures are multipart resins (slightly more detail, easier to paint if you need to leave a shield off or a dragon wing etc. Also slightly more brittle). As resin figures go the part count is quite low (usually a body, 2 arms and a base) as opposed to some companies where a single infantry figure is 6 parts or more. Easy to assemble too. Having them available in bulk with the boardgame makes for some really good army/warband deals (with a boardgame attached as well). These are the same sculpts. Different material which… Read more »
fantastic figures for a great looking game.
