What’s in Nest of the Dinosaur?
Dinosaurs? Extinct? Don’t be so sure.
These behemoths yet stalk the earth – and all creatures flee before them!
They’re not stupid, as some would have you think. These terrible lizards exhibit astonishing, cold-blooded reptilian guile… Not to mention jaws lined with lethal teeth and tails powerful enough to shatter spines with the barest flick!
Any such creature would make a formidable opponent. But it isn’t just any creature you’ve wandered into the lair of…
This monstrosity has two slavering heads!
Nobody knows how this abomination came into your being. After all – life, uh, finds a way.
It’s up to you – the GM - to separate fact from fiction.
Was it born of genetic mutation, magic, or perhaps a blessing of the gods?
What we do know is that this two-headed dinosaur mini is one of our best ever! Standing on a whopping 100mm base, the rippling layers of dinosaur muscle are rendered in stunning detail, as well as each slavering head!
Here’s a word from Rich August, Epic Encounters’ Lead Writer, about this new set:
"As my good friend and colleague, Jamie Perkins, knows only too well, dinosaurs are the best. Even better than dragons. As a result, I've been longing to make a dinosaur Epic Encounter, and I think this is one of our coolest sets yet. The encounter itself is a really difficult fight, and is going to force characters to really think about their approach. As for the miniature... well, it's the coolest dinosaur ever, isn't it? It's got to be up there. Got to be.'
So, if you want a cinematic dinosaur boss battle as a spectacular finale to an existing adventure – or fancy running a new session with this as the centrepiece – pre-order Nest of the Dinosaur now!
For an entire cold-blooded reptilian campaign – check out Steppe of the Lizard Thane. This companion warband box gives the perfect precursor to Nest of the Dinosaur, pitting you against 18 fearsome Lizard Folk warriors – the perfect aperitif!
And then you’ve got Nest of the Dinosaur for your main.
Delicious.
