My favorite was the Gogiteth. It somehow reminded me to the spirit Koh in Avatar the Last Air Bender. I was thinking to do a subterranean adventure with a spin of a psychological horror story
I don’t play Pathfinder but I’m a big fan of Wizkids’ DnD stuff...I really like how these sets typically include dungeon dressings and terrain! I wish Icons of the Realms would do the same. Fun review...good luck all!
I'd have to say the Zombie Brute would be perfect for a Frankenstein-eque story gone wrong. A not so adept necromancer tries to create the perfect monster, but doesn't bring it to life so much as to un-life. Embed a ring of resistance: radiant somewhere in the corpse to make it that much harder to kill, but also a nice reward for the medicine savvy PC.
I got a brick of these recently and was very impressed with the quality, in comparison to a lot of the past Icons of the Realms sets. I think that I had only gotten one Pathfinder Battles booster prior to this, but now I want to get some more City of Lost Omens boosters. Nice set, Wizkids!
That gimmerling would be PERFECT for an adventure I'm going to run where a family of doppelgangers are blending in with the people of a merchant city. They were nomads that would settle for a bit, steal a few things and then move away, but this time the youngest one made friends with some urchins, so the two older ones are planning something that would enable them to stay in town and provide for themselves and the urchins
Hey Theo, all those miniatures look great. The Duergar kept catching my eye. The Taskmaster pose holding the medallion is great. Going to look up that stitch golem stats, he was crazy looking. No miniature would go unused in that set. Thanks Theo & have a great day.
Oh my god, the Knight of the aeon star looks exactly how i pictured my latest dnd character, a paladin suffering a memory loss like curse, but wants to seek out her old memories, She will follow a god of compassion and spread the name, helping others along the way, ive worked with the dm for a surprise, the god ill follow, is actually the name of my forgotten child
Honestly I’d get the most use out of the guards. I love having well organized and equipped guards and I love even more having minis to reflect that. Also 10/10 for the Python Quote

I really like these videos. I’m get lost reading monster manuals so seeing the minis really helps visualise scenarios. At the moment I’m planning for a player to be missing for a couple of sessions. What an adventure it would be to have them stolen from the mangrove swamp by a Chuul where the party have to track them down and save him from the spawn that are preparing to devour them.
I would definitely use the zombie brute as a necromancer’s meat shield against Minotaurs exploring and solving the labyrinth in an evil party campaign!!
I’d love to use that wheel of misery. Re-work the results to something else and make it used by an insane deranged beholder. He could have an area built to look like a game show and make minions who fail him spin the wheel. I feel like that would be wildly entertaining.
So many cool minis!! As I love dragons..the green dragon is a standout. The #11 low alanti caught my eye. If you are running a homebrew with an Egyptian theme then she would fit right in! My favorite piece is the star stone! You could use this as a centerpiece to virtually any campaign!! Keep up the good work guys!!
That gogiteth mini is probably my favorite of this set. Considering I’m about to run an Underdark campign in the next couple weeks, this Eldritch horror would excel at scaring the life out of my players. If I got these minis I’d hope I could get one of those beasts. Luckily, we don’t have any arachnophobes at my table. Yet.
Looks like an improvement on the paint jobs since the last Pathfinder set. Definitely loving those Lizardfolk minis I like to use Pathfinder and D&D Lizardfolk as rival clans. Thanks guys for another great Review just waiting on the Polukranos, World Eater review anticipating that one. Keep it up guys
The Leaf Leshy is one that I'm excited about as I've been homebrewing a Leshy race. It would tie well into one of my current player's character who is a wood elf sent out into the world to journey to and investigate the cessation of communication with a druid in another area: a leshy would potentially have been brought to life by said druid and aid the party in the arc (or even end up being a new PC).
I personally love the Duergar models and they will see use in my games once i feel comfortable going back out in public to play again. The Dhampyr model looks great and will see use as a Vampire Archmage in my games. Happy gaming and stay safe everyone.
For me, this is Pathfinder's best set since maybe Crown of Fangs. Lots of cool, interesting mini choices (Dhampir! Angelkin! Wave Rider!) and the best dungeon dressing pieces ever, hands down. I don't think the paint job is quite as good as some of the older sets (put them next to Shattered Star or Skull & Shackles and you can see the difference), but still a big step up from Legendary Adventures. And guys, you don't get enough credit for giving us some useful lore as the minis are displayed - very interesting, and great for kicking off some story ideas! Thanks.
I absolutely love the Pinacosaurus! In the original Pathfinder there was a druid variant based on dinosaurs and I'd love to make a pg with the Pinacosaurus as trusted animal companion.
Thank you for the informative video as always. :) I have been wanting to write an aquatic campaign for a while now, and things like the Wave Rider could make excellent additions to that world. I see the Wave Riders being a whole civilization, based around taming and trading hippocampi.
17:23 - Chuul in Pathfinder are yet another Aboleth-evolved race, similar to Mimics and Cloakers. They indeed have little society but do serve the Aboleth/Alghollthu masters. One weird thing is the new mini having 3 legs, we speculated on the Minisgallery forum that someone misunderstood the illustration in the bestiary.
Love the Ratfolk Grenadier. I'd use it in our home brew game that focuses a lot on the friction between Ratfolk and Catfolk. I wanted to change to a Ratfolk Alchemist.
The wave rider is great! WOuld love to have multiples of these--I have yet to see a hippocampus with rider type miniature. There just arent enough undersea adventures.
Definitely some interesting minis here. Might add some of these to my collection. Especially the Gogiteth. And maybe a couple of the dungeon dressing pieces. ;)
Skinstitch looks amazing definitely can find great use in my game I just picked up a scarecrow mini can use it as like a king scarecrow sounds like a fun session 👍
I have already picked up a brick of city of lost omens, i definitely plan on using the pendulum as a trap in my game if i ever get to play again live. thanks to grady, i picked up his dm guild book for theros. its really kool
I'd use the wave rider miniature in my D&D campaign for sure, one of my players that plays Xiphalia: a Sea Elf Fighter, and the mini would be perfect for somekind of encounter in Nephnas City (in my homebrew world)
I have a temple devoted to Sarenrae in my world and the ranger is leaning toward becoming a paladin of her so it would be great to use the Balisse angel to act as an intermediary to the player. Also if they were to go and visit Sarenrae that mini could work as an avatar if needed.
I just realized how strange that Iruxi/Lizardfolk Defender looks, with metal plate armor and a patchwork wooden shield. Maybe he got it from a trader, but generally Lizardfolk only use leather or bone and wood, they don't have much metalworking experience (hard to have a forge in the swamps)
My favorite mini would be Aroden as I would display him in a place of glory on my shelf. I hope that we'll get more minis of the deities so that a pantheon could be displayed, or at least the ascended deities. I am planning a campaign so most of these would get used to my party's detriment, like the mirror or the wheel, both of which would throw them for a loop. For actual use Aroden might be used in a mission that tosses them to a time when he still existed, though honestly since his death while confirmed was never (to my knowledge) explained I might bring him in as an effect of whatever magic 'killed him' that instead threw him through time to present day Golarion and now the whole realm would have to deal with repercussions of his reappearance. My wishlist will consist of Aroden, Norgorber, Darkside Mirror, Wheel of Misery, Starstone, Green Dragon, Thief Guildmaster, Swinging Scythe Blade, Enlarged Duergar, and the Iruxi Defender.
As I've been reading through the 2nd Bestiary guide, I came across "Crawling Hand" which I thought was a really cool idea. If I had the Brute Zombie, I would use him in my current campaign, and add in the ranged "hunk of meat" action from the Zombie Hulk, allowing the Zombie Brute a stat block for throwing his own arm at people (scale the damage down a bit... 2d6+4B, and scale the zombie brute up to a lvl 3 creature since I'm making him slightly more powerful). I would use one of the Pathfinder pawns to mark where the pawn fell, THEN I would roll initiative for a lvl -1 crawling hand, and use that to attack the PC's as well. It would only catch them off guard once, but it would be worth it.
I think the krooth are really cool looking and would use them as giant lizards for mounts. I could then use the duergar and xulgath as adversaries in an underdark adventure.
Huge fan of the Wheel of Misery. I envision that being a wheel of fate for captured PCs. Perhaps a thieves guild punishment for outsider rogues with sticky fingers. The crowd roars as the wheel lands on lightning bolt, striking down the half-elven rogue. His boots smoke as the corpse is dragged off for an unceremonious dip in the town sewer. Can’t risk that they could ignite and start a fire.
I would love to get the tengu figure because I love the design and the colours and it can be used as PC and a NPC. It could also potentially dubble as a kenku for my d&d games.
I would love to run a game were a group of adventures redeem Zariel and use the Balisse as a Final Fantasy-esque summon of Zariel for the group to use in battle or just to aid along their journey. Eventually they would find her famed blade and return her to her full glory.
I would probably use these in my own homebrew setting, the orbs of Armeggodon would be a new monster...the sad truth though is that I am not too excited for this set. Congrats to the winners but none of these really make me say "Wow, I need those." Overall another good set just one I don't really care for.
I thought this at first as well but then I saw the little goblin chief and I fell in love, I adore Pathfinder gobbies and need a King . The protohag changeling and Dhampire are also pretty cool, the zombie brute and stich skin golem/ scarecrow are also pretty neat. The more I think on it the more used many of these can have on just about be any game. I don't care for dinosaur minis at all as they are something anyone can find knockoffs for and I am scratching my head over a male harpy, that goes completely against their lore
Say what you will about that Aroden mini, but he does have beautiful plumage. I don't collect the PF minis generally, but I'd love to get a squad of those Absalom watch minis. It would be perfect for any city, and it'd be nice to have minis with matching uniforms so your "city watch" isn't just a ragtag motley collection of random humanoid mins you have lying around. Also the Angelkin Redeemer and Knight of the Aeon Star would make great PC minis.
Just started playing tabletop RPGs commenting trying to get my hands on some awesome miniatures in particular some Absalom city guards for some friendly NPCs and definitely need me a Angelkin redeemer
I love the god miniatures they are some of my favorite miniatures to collect I don’t play pathfinder but I do like the minis because they offer some diversity to the D&D monsters
Well I've always wanted to play a Minotaur character who's a big softie but a force to be reckoned with when angered so naturally I'm a fan of the Minotaur, however I feel like when I finally get to play another session the gm would find a good use for the dark mirror... the possibilities scare me hahaha
That Gogiteth's got a bad case of "The Mask" face. Definitely nightmare fuel. Or the guy made of faces. In general I'm not personally a huge fan of pathfinder's style of characters. Though some are really cool. I'd be afraid of getting too many of the "watch" or "deurgar" minis. But there are a couple good and unique minis in this particular set. Plus dragon.
I would love to make a plotline with the dhampir wizzard with a creepy mansion where the dhampir wizzard lives at the front of the door stands an undead guarding the door to the mansion. i have so many plans for al the minis in this set
