Description
This is a pre-order item. Street release day is 11/09/2026, expected to arrive at the Portal mid November 2026. Orders will begin to ship when they arrive to us in the order received.
Bring one of the Zerg’s most infamous battlefield-control organisms to the table with the Defiler for the StarCraft: Tabletop Miniatures Game. Returning from the Brood War era, this twisted support creature specializes in weakening enemy positions and helping the Swarm advance through otherwise dangerous fire.
The Defiler can shroud nearby Zerg in Dark Swarm, limiting the effectiveness of enemy ranged attacks, while its devastating Plague ability can punish entrenched units and soften up difficult positions. When its reserves run low, the Defiler can even consume lesser Zerg to fuel its terrible powers and keep the pressure on.
This set also includes a Burrow Token and Plague Blast Template, giving you the components needed to represent some of the Defiler’s signature abilities during play.
Perfect for expanding a Zerg army, adding a dedicated support organism, or bringing a classic Brood War unit to the tabletop, the Defiler offers control, disruption, and unmistakable Swarm character.
What’s in the box?
- 1x Defiler Miniature

All miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled.
Questions answered
Pre-Order FAQ
When will my preorder arrive?
We ship preorders to arrive on or shortly after the release date. Very large preorder releases can occasionally cause processing delays, but we strive to meet that timing.
Will combining preorders with in-stock or backordered items delay my order?
Yes. Your order is held until every item is available. In-stock items will wait for your preorder, and backordered items may delay shipment even after the preorder releases.
Place separate orders if you need available items sooner.
Why did I receive a shipping confirmation before my preorder shipped?
We often prepare preorder shipments in advance, so you may receive a shipping confirmation before your package actually departs. Receiving tracking information does not necessarily mean the carrier has your package yet. Tracking will update as the carrier scans your shipment.
Will expedited shipping get my preorder to me sooner?
Expedited shipping speeds up carrier transit after your order ships. It does not move your order ahead in the processing queue or shorten the wait for unreleased or backordered items.
