Starting this fall, you’ll be able to do battle on your tabletop with premium quality, highly detailed 3-D renderings of characters of every race and class, as well as iconic individuals like Warchief Thrall and Leeroy Jenkins.

Each premium pre-painted miniature will be mounted on a uniquely engineered removable base, allowing the figure to serve as a collectible as well as a game piece. The game will feature both head-to-head battles and stand-alone raid and dungeon scenarios, which players can cooperate to overcome.

Head over to WoWMinis.com (http://www.wowminis.com) to find out more about the game. You can sign up to receive updates, including sneak preview pictures of the minis, details about gameplay, and downloadable demos.

This factoid is utterly meaningless to most of you I imagine, but the figures are painted (possibly designed too?) by Mike McVey, who was one of the better painters employed by Game's Workshop in the 90s for their ridiculously intricate 'Eavy Metal painting group.

He did some fairly nice painting work in those days, so this could be an interesting product.
