The World of Warcraft Miniatures Game is a collectible miniatures game from Upper Deck Entertainment, the creators of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. It was released November 11, 2008.[1] A deluxe edition was released December 9, 2008.[2][3] It took two years of development to be finished.[1]

Players will use 40mm scale figures and terrain pieces to simulate battles in all types of settings and scenarios based on the Warcraft setting. Gameplay can be one-on-one, a party vs. party, or one or a party vs. an individual or group of monsters in Alliance, Horde, and Monster factions.[4]

A raid set called "Raid on Onyxia" was planned to allow you to play solo or cooperatively against either a player-controlled Onyxia or an automated, rule-based version of the black dragon.[4] Later, Blizzard announced that they would not renew their contract with UDE, Souls of Vengence Deluxe starter, Starter, and boosters were canceled along with the Onyxia raid set.

Available figures

One version of the Souls of Vengeance packaging.

Souls of Vengeance was the upcoming third set planned for release in October 2009 but was pushed to 2010[5] and ultimately just cancelled likely due to licensing issues as in March 2010, Upper Deck Entertainment lost the license from Blizzard Entertainment.[6] Illidan Stormrage was a planned figure from this set.
