STAR WARS™ MINIATURES GAME ADDS A NEW
DIMENSION TO THE SAGA
Champions of the Force™ Unites Your Favorite Heroes and Villains
From the Star Wars Expanded Universe
Renton, Wash (June 9, 2006) – Champions of the Force, the latest
expansion from Wizards of the Coast’s highly popular Star Wars Miniatures
Game, allows heroes from the light side of the Force to fight the powers of the
dark side in this collection of characters that delves deep into the expanded
universe of the Star Wars saga. With an all-new, very-rare Yoda, and more
plastic weaponry elements than any prior expansion, Champions of the Force
kicks the gameplay into hyper-drive!
Players can declare their allegiance to the Rebel Alliance and engage in battle
in pursuit of peace and freedom throughout the galaxy. Or they can fight on the
dark side of the evil Galactic Republic to try to suppress the Rebel do-gooders!
The pre-painted standard-scale (30mm) plastic miniatures allow players to stage
exciting and unique battles using characters from the full gamut of the Star
Wars saga, including the six movies, computer games, novels, comics and
animated series. Players can immerse themselves in skirmishes with familiar
characters, such as Jedi Master Luke Skywalker or Darth Maul, as well as
characters new to the game, such as Jaina Solo or Corran Horn (from the
best-selling Star Wars® novels).
Each Champions of the Force booster pack contains seven random Star
Wars Miniatures from the 60-figure set. Miniatures from this new expansion
can be used with the latest starter game, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith™
and combined with other expansion sets to make the players’ ultimate Star
Wars battle come to life!
The starter game, which allows two players to immediately engage in competition,
has a suggested retail price of $24.99 and includes four non-randomized and two
exclusive miniatures and their matching stat cards, game board, 20-sided die,
and game play instruction book. Champions of the Force booster packs,
available in June, have a suggested retail price of $12.99. Each booster
contains seven randomized figures — including premium figures in every pack —
allowing players to build their teams strategically.
Star Wars Miniatures products are available in hobby shops and major
retail stores nationwide.
