Starcraft Miniatures Game Starter Set Incoming
Archon Studios, in partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, has officially announced that the Starcraft: The Miniatures Game Two-Player Starter Set (Founder’s Edition) is hitting retail shelves in May 2026.
It’s been a year of anticipation since the partnership was first teased in March 2025, and this debut set looks to capture the high-stakes, tactical essence of the legendary RTS.
The Ultimate Grudge Match: Raynor vs. Kerrigan
The Founder’s Edition focuses on the iconic rivalry that defined an era of gaming. Players will choose their side in a brutal skirmish for dominance:
-
The Terran Rebels: Led by the legendary Jim Raynor, featuring a classic mix of Marines, Medics, and Marauders.
-
The Zerg Swarm: Headed by Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, bringing the relentless tide of Zerglings and the terrifying Omega Worm.
What’s in the Box?
For a retail price of $229, Archon Studios is packing this “Founder’s Edition” with an impressive amount of high-quality components. Whether you’re a painter or a competitive player, the box is loaded:
| Component Category | Included Items |

Unlike previous attempts to bring Starcraft to the tabletop, this miniatures-focused approach emphasizes the tactical positioning and objective-based gameplay that made the digital version a global phenomenon. With Archon Studios’ reputation for high-detail plastic, these minis are likely to be as much a hobbyist’s dream as they are a gamer’s tool.
“Players will build up their armies and battle to complete key objectives in the Koprulu sector.”
Whether you’re a veteran of the Brood Wars or a newcomer to the sector, this starter set provides everything you need to rush the line or hold the fort. Mark your calendars for May 2026.
