Epic Encounters are back this month with two new sets. Take your next adventure to the realm of the Steelborn with these epic kits!
I hope you’ve marked your calendars for October the 7th because that’s when the new Epic Encounters sets are slated to drop. Now, I’ve unboxed both the Sanctuary of the Steelborn and the Realm of the Titan. I was truly impressed with both of them and they have become two of my favorite sets from Epic Encounters.
The Best Epic Encounter Set Yet
The miniatures in the Sanctuary of the Steelborn are just awesome. Keep in mind that they come pre-assembled. There’s no glue or assembly required. In fact you honestly could just pop them out and run them right out of the box.
If you’re so inclined you could also paint them up. I had planned to do that myself but got caught up with other hobby projects. They are still in my queue however. The Steelborn sets feels more like a warband to me than some of the other kits and I’ve been looking at other non-RPG systems to use them in. I really think they’d be a great skrimish-scale warband in a different system.
The Titan is the “boss” fight and this miniature has become my favorite boss from the Epic Encounter sets to date. I also really appreciate the plot hooks that are included with the adventure book for this guy. I was honestly thinking “how am I going to wrangle this into my home game.” Those adventure hooks planted a few ideas and now I’m using those to drop hints that something BIG is waiting for my players.
For the price point, I really don’t think you can beat the Epic Encounters series. Both of these kits are $54.99. For quality of the miniatures, the battle mat, and adventure book, you can’t lose with this one.
