The Pathfinder Battle’s range is a collection of pre-painted collectable models intended for use in fantasy gaming, specifically the Pathfinder books, though other fantasy games are out there. The Beastiary Unleashed is the latest release, and primarily comes in ‘blind boxes’, with four randomly chosen models of various sizes. They are total of 47 pieces in the range, with a broadly celestial/infernal theme to the models.

For example, the Astral Deva is literally a winged angel, bearing a hammer in one hand and very long scroll in the other. The scroll as a ‘text effect’ added to the paint job and the angel look appropiately smug. The celestial defender model is golden, bears a massive shield and one of it’s arms is a lance. It looks rather bad-ass. Similarly the celestial legionnaire is winged, golden and bears a flaming blade. On the other side, the succubus model wields only a small and a very striking red dress. Oh and wings. The Quelant model is a faceless horror with three legs and three arms, each ending in wicked claws. It’s a proper horror movie monster and a great thing to put on the table.

We models we saw included a copper dragon and a white dragon. The copper is in the middle of breathing out a fire blast (using orange translucent plastic for effect) and the white dragon is in full strike mode. The Mummy Pharoh and Lich models are both striking and look like they’ve been modelled from artwork in Paizo’s Pathfinder books.

Another piece we found striking was the Pleroma Aeon, a cloaked figure wielding orbs of energy in each hand. In the game it’s a cosmic being wielding the power of oblivion and creation. The model is in a flying pose and has a cloak with ‘made of stars’ effect on it. Useful for all sorts of game, especially if you prefer the weirder sort of encounters.

They are also goblins and orcs in this set, so if you’re looking for some generic baddies, you’re all set. Overall, a great addition to a growing collection.
