D&D General Thoughts on Dungeons and Dragons: Onslaught

[Yenrak]

Has anyone played this skirmish game? It had somehow escaped my attention when it came out last year.

Physically, it looks impressive. I'm wondering if anyone on the boards has played it and what you thought.

The pre-painted figures look good, but the $125.00 price turns me off since my group would likely only play it a couple times a year if the normal games does not play.

I dig the old DnD miniature skirmish game and collect minis so I was totally down for this. But, regrettably, the entry price is far too discouraging. Increasingly, WizKids’ miniature catalogue is beyond my interest-income. Thankfully, I have a couple thousand to get me through til the end of days.

I continue to wonder who is painting these minis (and when they’ll be inevitably replaced by 3D printed color minis)?

I bought it, mainly for the minis. Haven’t played it yet and will break it out when the entire group can’t get together and we only have 2 or 3 people.

Ever see the Banksy intro (“couch gag”) for the Simpsons? Probably a lot like that.

I wonder how much the price per mini can drop for color prints..cause heroforge is $50 for 1 color printed mini…would it get down to $5 or less and if so, awesome for a batch print!

I have it, it’s been fun and me and my friends might play it regularly,

I heard at GaryCon that there will be a mini-less version for much less. So you can use your own. Dunno the price at the moment.

They had a demo room at GaryCon and folks were giving it a try.
