 | | 20 Mar 2009 10:16 PM | | It's rather difficult to please everyone, I'll give it a go. See how you do, comment, let's talk. 
1. Fire Giant Skeleton with Sword
2. Frost Giant Zombie with Axe
3. Fire Giant with Spear or Mace (no fiery weapon)
4. Frost Giant with Sword or Crossbow (no icy weapon)
5. Soldier on Horseback with Sword and Shield
6. Large Centipede
7. Large Snake
8. Large Spider
Ok, I came up with a second list:
1. Duergar on Steeder
2. Scrag
3. Two Headed Troll
4. Assassin Vine
5. Cloaked Rider on Horse with Spear (can be made into a staff easily)
6. Archer on Horseback
7. Hill Giant Warrior with Axe and Shield
8. Stone Giant Warrior with Armor and Mace
It's really hard to avoid putting giants on this list. The riders on horseback may be difficult to do as uncommons, but it's worth asking for. | | Champion of a Medium Dog & then a Darkenbeast , Raistlin Majere, Nightmare WDQ25/60, Warduke WD60/60,

| | 21 Mar 2009 08:39 AM | | Just a comment on the following being uncommons:
Beholder - Probably too difficult to do.
Displacer Beast - Probably too difficult to do (may come out ugly with terrible seams).
Female Matron Troll Caster - Too specific as an uncommon, would like as a rare though.
Headless Horseman - Too specific as an uncommon, would like as a rare though.
Marilith - Too specific as an uncommon, would like as a rare though.
Derro Savant on Large Spider - Too specific as an uncommon, would like as a rare though (but gave me the idea to suggest a Duergar Steeder!).

Large Xorn

FRCS4E:
"ZHENT HEADLESS HORSEMAN
Terrified Dalesfolk describe seeing the Zhent Headless
Horseman galloping through forest crossings and night
mists. The Horseman (actually a lich), wearing the colors
and regalia of the overthrown Zhentarim, is a haunting
and literal reminder of the Black Network’s previous
power in the northern dales. The Horseman rides the
twisted forest paths at full speed, trailing mist and mad
laughter in his wake. Attempts to waylay the apparition
have failed—the bodies of would-be heroes are discovered
when the mists clear, sans heads." | | | |

Yes, a miniature could be made since they have made a 4e creature that is a headless horseman. I still won't be getting one. As far as the aboleth is concerned--if I get any they will only be for proxies for large water creatures. I don't have any issues with sculpt and/or paint like many seem to. My issue is, it's a psionic creature, and I don't use psionics in my games. Therefore, the aboleth as an aboleth is useless to me, regardless or size or appearance. | | "Look to God and live."

Ahh, yeah...that's just me then. I keep thinking that the huge set comes out later in the year than it does for some reason.
As for my large mini choices I'd ant to see I'd pick:
- Giant Skeleton
- Fire Giant (male or female) with (non-elemental) axe
- Frost Giant (male or female) with (non-elemental) sword
- Hill Giant (male or female) with boulder or crude axe
- Skeletal Horse (no rider)
- Large Snake (NOT another Naga though)
- Pack Mule | | - N333
