What is a Shadar-Kai? I believe they're fey that ended up living on the shadow plane for some reason or another. They were in one of the dragon mags that had DDM maps in it. Either 322 or 337. While the set list is decent, I'm not happy with another rare ogre. We need a decent uncommon one, skullcrusher and female skirmisher don't really count imo. | | | |

| | 23 Oct 2007 11:40 AM | | The funky guy with the red sword is the fanatic indeed. The ogre I actually like the look of, I am still at work so no scans as of now. I also won't be home till 9:00 central tonight to be able to start scanning, so hopefully someone else will get their hands on a poster that has a scanner before then. The factions I'll make sure are right on that list when I get home tonight too.

Hrmm, I hadn't noticed that before. I hope this doesn't mean he's the in same cost range as the Drow Enforcer. I have been wanting a Drow fighter type in the 30 point range. I'd really prefer that he was not a commander. | | Champion of the Revenant

| | 23 Oct 2007 11:54 AM | | Also note that the cleric mini shown over at DDM spoilers does not exist in this set. One additional note the poster has scans of the fronts of the Dungeons of Dread boxes, which is cool for two reasons. It confirms the new Beholder, Minotaur, and what appears to be a new Dread guard of Blackguard something along those lines, but also that the boosters are changing size with the Dungeons of Dread release, to what appears to be more the size of Dreamblade boosters, which I would guess allows for more large figures in a booster, perhaps large commons? Just thought I would pass that info along as well while I sit here.

Could you double check the number for the Warhorse? I think it is supposed to be 13/60 (based on the green color channel of the image that wavester had posted of the repaint with the card in the background), so the numbering on the list may be slightly off.
Thanks (and thanks for the list)!

| | 23 Oct 2007 12:44 PM | | By my count, 29 of the minis are effective reprints of previous minis... I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I like the flexibility of having different sculpts of the same monster but there is still plenty of stuff out there that we don't have yet.

| | 23 Oct 2007 12:55 PM | | So many people saying 'undecided' when the set list is revealed is a clear enough sign - this is a stinker of a set.
Yes, there are some nice additions - the Sphinx, the Sahuagin, the Mastiff and the Dryad. But there was no need to have that many resculpts. That was just kicking sand in the faces of all their long-standing customers.
If the snake turns out to be yet another medium snake, when we haven't had snakes in any other sizes, I'll be calling this one a double-stinker.
Dull, dull, dull, and painfully dull.
EDIT - Now I've actually seen the poster, I take it back. The Dryad is awful. | | Champion of the Bodak.Knight of the Aboleth.Squire of Gnomes. Friend of (Non-Ugly) Fey.

| | 23 Oct 2007 01:06 PM | | Uncommon Large Fire Elemental is a respectable resculpt. I'm quite enthusiastic (particularly regarding the rarity).
I think there's a clear message here that Gnomes are definitely replaced by Tieflings as a core race (no gnomes, 2 halflings, 2 dwarves, 2 tieflings). Not surprising, all things considered.

| | 23 Oct 2007 01:24 PM | | I'm excited about all the resculpts of classic monsters. People have been clammering for a new umber hulk and large fire elemental for ages. Personally I'm more thrilled at the prospect of a new manticore, harpy, ghoul, and werewolf... The new osyluth and troll both improve upon their predecessors. I particularly like that the osyluth doesn't have the colour scheme of a My Little Pony. C'mon, I like lilac and maroon as much as the next guy, but they aren't really suitable colours for a creepy skeletal fiend.
This set, IMO, has the best selection of monsters in the entire history of the line. I can't wait for pics! | | | Champion of the Catoblepas | |

Werewolf Champ is wearing armor and weilding a scimitar/falchion - I think he'll actually work better RPG wise as a Gnoll and Gnoll Clawfighter is a better werewolf, but oh well.
Ettercap is weilding weapons too (spear), I haven't used Ettercaps before, but I didn't think they were that civilized. | | Champion of the Yeti
