Pathfinder Beginner Box Minis from WizKids
November 11, 2011 by brennon
Looking for some pre-painted Pathfinder miniatures, or just general roleplaying minis for your collection? WizKids have got a new Beginner Box for just such a case.
Each of the heroes in the Beginner Box matches one of the pre-generated characters in the big Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Starter Set which was released back in October.
Of course Reaper have made models for all of these heroes which are much more detailed, but for a beginner getting into roleplay games surely this is a good starting point?
What do you think?
As long as they can tell each mini apart it will serve the role it’s ment for. I tend to shun pre-paints like the plauge.
Its great that this box exists as it helps beginners as its meant to be.
They do the job for casual play, but I dunno about how good they’ll be in the long run for beginners, since it’ll put off them learning the basics of modelling and painting till they’re done with the pre-set characters then they have to find a model, learn to paint and generate a first character all at the same time. if I was starting I’d prefer unpainted with a few of the little 5ml sample pot things and a brush, but that’s probably in a hindsight sorta way you wouldn’t actually get if you’re a true newbie to the hobby…
