Unboxing - Dark Souls the Board Game (Part Four)

In part one we looked at the main components from the box, in part two we looked at the rank and file creatures and in part three saw the monstrous boss and sub-boss our heroes will be fighting...now lets look at the heroes...

First a brief introduction courtesy of the game manufacturers...
Dark Souls™ - The Board Game is a strategically challenging, deeply immersive combat exploration game for 1-4 players set in the Dark Souls™ universe. Players choose from a number of core character classes and explore dangerous locations full of monsters, treasures, and deadly boss fights.

Designed specifically for the Dark Souls™ universe and introducing a number of innovative gameplay mechanics, with world-class miniatures faithful to the rich universe, this game delivers an experience that captures the very essence of the original video games.

You can see larger versions of the pictures by clicking on them and they're at a high enough resolution so you can get a good idea of the level of detail.

Here are the heroes you can select from to play as and some comparison pictures of them vs. the various in game enemies.

  1. So.... how do the heroes look next to miniatures from other manufacturers (like Games Workshop or Malifaux)?

    1. I'll sort out a comparison picture for you for later in the week. Maybe tomorrow if I have time...

    2. That would be supernice! I realize it's a bit of a weird request as board games like this are supposed to be self-contained and most people wouldn't be mixing these miniatures with any others. But I might :-p
