I actually feel that the minis look ugly - but it's probably just me.

I'd most probably buy their special minis tho, like the raid instances, which I'm sure they will have. Onyxia and the like, just for collection or DnD.

Holy crap, what have they done to my lovely Aleyah?

Don't think I'll get into this one, though I'll reserve my judgement when it's out.

Not really a WOW fanatic myself, but count me in if there's organized play support for the minis.

But yeah, first impression is very important, thus ugly miniatures is quite a turn off for me.

check the official forums, over 65% of the miniature cards and abilities have been spoiled.

The game is launching at the same time as 2 other competitors - Mutant Chronicles(to me it's too complex) and Monsterpocalypse(this one looks fun, i might pick up 2 factions to have fun).

Compared to them, wowminis is incredibly easy to play, and very fun , and offers a lot of customization options. I've already targeted my team , it's Elendril/Moonshadow/random Paladin with heal and Hammer of Wrath.

here is the link to the article that has the download link for the demo. Don't be put off by the fact that Alliance always wins, just to get a feel for the game. I guarantee you, by your 2nd time playing you almost won't need to look at the rulebook.

based on people who actually spoke to UDE in Blizzcon ...

Onyxia will have an estimated price tag of $200.

that translates to roughly RM700-800.

of course, from the pictures you already know the dragon is huge.

I compared the scale of the Dragon to a normal mini ... the length of her is roughly the same size as a 22" LCD.

Added on November 18, 2008, 1:06 pmi just want to add - Coolstuffinc hasn't scaled their shipping prices to minis yet. I just got an email confirmation that they shipped 12 minis to Australia for $6.40 ...

not this year, hopefully i can come down for CNY but it seems my parents want me to stay here and work ...

Monpoc is 2nd.

btw, i won the DMF Singapore Minis Spectral Safari! Lol, first time ever played, and won a Spectral Tiger! I beat ex-DMF champion, Corle Huffman in the Finals, and current DMF champion, Ben Isgur, in the semis!

beginner's luck, woot!

Oh lol didn't notice!

Looking forward to some Minis Battleground action at TB soon.

To anyone else who hasn't explored this game - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Its freaking syiok... you won't regret it.

Nah no extras yet. But i ordered some goodies from the Internet already... should be arriving next week. Maybe hop over to cc and buy a few boosters this weekend... see lah how.

DMF SG weekend i was damn lucky, i got 3 boosters for winning the Spectral, and i opened 2 epics from them lol. Kael + Rexxar. I gave the Rexxar to Jade coz he was kind enough to lend me the Jaina that won the tournament.

So i'm building a Kael team atm, and also working on a Cairne Bloodhoof one as well.

i need to talk to Jade xD

Added on May 28, 2009, 5:41 pmbtw Aizuddin, congrats!!

beating two ex-champions in a row!! wow! impressive.

Lol, it was insane. Damien Dufresne was my first round opponent. He was running the popular Lady Vashj team. I was playing Jaina, Elendril, Phadalus. When i arrived in Singapore, i didn't even have the figures, i bought the Elendril and Phad and borrowed the Jaina and the ABCs. I'd never playtested the team, and theorycrafted its effectiveness in the plane ride over.

Damien was a real sport, being patient with me, and helping me through my first every competitive game (and my 3rd ever game of minis period). Somehow, the luck of the dice deserted him, and he lost on time by 1 VP. I was surprised that i won, most of the time i didn't know what i was doing, just rolling the dice whenever i was asked to.

1-0

Kelvin of Singapore was next, another long-time minis player. He walloped me nicely with another Lady Vashj team buffed by Rethilgore. I was getting the hang of things, but still just fumbling around mostly.

1-1

Then Pedro from the Philippines. Dont remember too many of the details, except he was running a popular build, double Harukas and Thangal. Again i just moved and rolled, moved and rolled, and.... won.

2-1

Can't remember the name of the 4th opponent, but i went to time, again... he was just too far behind to catch up. The team wasn't very good, and i remember one-shotting his figures everytime i opened fire. Not sure how he was a 2-1 team.

3-1

Ben Isgur was next. This game was actually the fastest game for me, all the other games went to time so far. The reason why it was fast: Ben was playing Minis solitaire, virtually. Every time it was his turn, he would move in a blink. Then when it was my turn, he would tell me exactly what my options were, and let me choose what to do. So i just did whatever he said i could do, then roll my dice. Dice rolls were nuts here, and everytime i hit, he seemed to miss. He was running a Kael'thas and double Hellcallers for the Heart Murmur synergy (that was truly janky, but it worked mostly). I won the game by cornering his Kael, if he went left, he would walk right into range of Elendril. If he went right, he walked right into Phadalus. Somehow my poor little Water Ele managed to kill his Hellcaller shield the turn prior. I think he was counting on my Water Ele not to roll a perfect hit + crit roll and he missing all his resist rolls. Thats what happened, his shield was gone, and left Kael to the wolves.

4-1

Corle Huffman, previous DMF champ was next. This game went to time too and it was a nailbiter. Midway through, i was down, i had no board position, his creatures had control of the VP, and my fellas were all dmged. His Lady Vashj (yes, another one) was at full health after receiving a max 5-die heal from his Troll, and one tick away from wiping out my Jaina and potentially another with some suitable rolls. But it was my turn, and i would have both my Elendril and Phadalus take their turns before his Vashj would be unleashed. So, ok, i take the shots, and the unthinkable happens.

I roll 22 hits in a row. The crowd that had gather around us went all silent. Corle's draw dropped. I clear his board.

Elendril rolls 6 dice (5+1 Jaina buff) on Lady Vashj. All hit and a couple of crits. Vashj is down to 6 health. I roll the follow up 4 dice (3+1 Jaina buff). All hit. Vashj is down to 2 health.

Phadalus doesn't have Line of Sight on Vashj, so i take the shot on his Wavecaller mage. I roll 7 dice. All hit and a couple of crits. The Wavecaller dies instantly (he was already damaged a bit). The crit effect allows me to take a follow up roll on any enemy within 2 spaces... Lady Vashj is in range. I roll 5 dice. All hit. Vashj dies. 12 VP swing at a critical time. I swarm up to the VP just in time, claim another 2 VP, netting 14 uncontested VPs.

He is never able to recover from that. Game goes to time. I run Jaina as far away from Vashj as possible, and use my Water Ele, Elendril + pet, Phadalus and a sea of totems as cover. He can't reach me in time. As a last act of defiance, he tries to finish Phadalus off who is low on health (even if Phad dies, he can't win). He rolls 5 dice. All miss. What can you say to that?

Added on May 28, 2009, 6:11 pmbut why the coverage says otherwise? scratches head.

http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/en/...eid=48&aid=5969

There were 17 players, with one playoff match to cut into Top 16.

Then it was 16-8-4-2. So, with the playoff match, the total number of rounds were 5.

what minis will you be using for the demo?

OMG that is sick rolling. No wonder they never talked about it in the official forums

Haha yep.

Woot, demo went quite well. Got a few kids interested but then again, money lies with their parents And they weren't too thrilled to know that there were boosters and stuff.

We should have a minis launch party at TB.

Do a 1-booster sealed event... everyone buys a booster, and builds a 2-figure party and we all play 2v2.

A 1-booster event will help keep the costs low for people who want to try the game for the first time...

Maybe i should apply to be take qualifications to be a minis judge...

Much as i hate to say it... but here in Malaysia, TCG/CMG is not a kid's game... its just too pricey.

Different for the game in the US/EU... where boosters are literally just a few bucks each. But for us... RM50-60 a booster... that makes the hobby firmly an adult pastime... unless your dad is some rich dude. Better to focus on marketing the game to adults...

The minis bug hit TB yesterday. A case of the minis were sold out within minutes... bring more lah... and go buy the uBases and dice from online, then resell to people lah.

http://www.warcraftgamingcenter.com sells the uBases and dice.

Added on June 4, 2009, 12:38 pmThis weekend, i think TB got 1-booster sealed event.

This will be a great place for people to try out the game... sealed is damn fun because you just focus on playing the game, rather than having to worry about constructing a party from scratch.

But i think you guys got stiffed as far as the initial shipment of boosters go.

16 boosters, 8 from Core and 8 from Spoils, and not a single Epic from either set?

wtf man. obviously whomever sold it to you gave you boosters from a case that they already had ravaged for the epics. Each case = 2 epics guaranteed. Its very common for some unscrupulous ppl to open boosters from that case until they hit the 2 epics, then resell off the remaining boosters. Its more profitable that way coz each epic can sell for 3x the price of a single booster! (unlike the TCG, all epics in minis are actually tournament worthy, therefore are in high demand). And if they get lucky and open the 2 epics from the case after just a few boosters cracked... gg.

Anyways, whomever your supplier is, demand the other half of the cases you bought, or ask for 2 epics outright to be given to you. Otherwise its not only TB that is being shafted, its also your customers who are being shafted.

Still... opening 16 boosters and not a single epic last night = me a sad panda.

thats why always buy full cases, don't settle for any of this "half" stuff. and see if you can get your hands on the other 2 "halves" of the cases you already received... there should be guaranteed 4 epics there from 16 boosters! 1/4 chance of hitting an epic? yes pls!

More boosters are available at TB now, a case of each Spoils and Core... hhhm... yummmmmy.

I'll be over for some games during the weekend.

Added on June 5, 2009, 2:34 pmbtw, what did you trade?

i've got my party of Cairne, Haruka and (a mage dunno which one yet) ready for some weekend action!

What rogues did you get? some are decent... especially if you get Expose Armor as an ABC.

Try to get Nathressa too. She is quite deadly, unique secondary ability.

Rogues, the problem will be heavy armor matchups, thats why Expose Armor is valuable. Also, to better survive magical onslaughts, Dodge is very nice, and Kick is a must have.
