I'll rate it after I see the pictures. I find my imagination varies greatly from the name of the mini to what it actually ends up being.

How do you mean? I've updated the names and values in the gallery already, just waiting for someone to scan the poster and either post it so I can snag it it, or email em to me. Far as I can tell VFults is the only one with access right now.

And it's only semi-access since the posters are still sitting in the store room of the FLGS; the owner just let me have a look at them since I'm his major buyer of DDM.

And a mini in the hand is worth two in the bush.

There are quite a few minis that don't look much like what the name suggests.

I'm hoping for a good set, though some of the ones I've seen showcased so far don't seem exactly fantastic.

That said, even the ones I don't particularly like are still looking pretty well-designed.

I'm pleasantly suprised by the commons and uncommons so far...not thrilled about the rares (very few of this set appeal to me)...but I think I'll end up spending more on the c/uc from Demonweb than I did from AtG...

49. Quickling Runner
51. Troglodyte Brute

I have enough of these already, and/or this sculpt isn't changing my mind :

6. Infernal Armor - this turned out to be a big disappointment.
13. Lolthbound Goblin

38. Blood Slaad
39. Brutal Ogre Warhulk

44. Sharn Redcloak
46. Corruption Corpse (a zombie)
58. Dire Bear Mauler
59. Girallon
60. Iron Dragon Prowler - it's a Silver Dragon.

Please - please - stop now! There are already more of these than can ever be used! :

20. Drow Assassin
22. Spiderbound Drow Warrior - Aaargh, I'm Drow-ning!
11. Drow Adventurer

8. Tiefling Cleric of Asmodeus
12. Drow Demonbinder
14. Runespiral Demon
15. Shardsoul Slayer

23. Thoon Hulk
26. Phaseweb Spider - what is this supposed to be?
27. Skull Lord
41. Cyclops Hewer
45. Warforged Battle Captain
50. Kruthik Hive Lord
55. Kruthik Adult
57. Web Golem

This is why I waited...

Well, suffice it to say, that despite most ppl's really positive reaction to this set, I'm surprisingly (or perhaps not) unimpressed with this set.

There are so many pieces in this set that I don't like, I'll list what I am interested in, instead.

ROXXORS:
7. Rakshasa Assassin - R, x2 (cool)
9. Vicious Bearded Devil - R, x2 (rare again, ouch)
18. Deathlock Wight – C, x4 (cool)
27. Skull Lord - R, x1 (cool, but I only really need one don't I)
30. Ogre Pulverizer - U, x4 (weee!)
31. Stormrage Blue Dragon - R, x1 (new pose is rockin)
54. Deathcap – U, x8 (awesome)
44. Sharn Redcloak – C, x8 (i like this fig)
46. Corruption Corpse – U, x4 (looks good, hard to tell right now, but from what i can see i like it)

I'M OK WIT DAT:
3. Halfling Archer – U, x2 (pretty straight forward)
4. Mezzodemon – U, x2 (cool)
5. Grinning Imp – U, x4 (cool, they'll pass as devils, too big for imps tho, wtf? Everythings BIG in 4e, even something known for being teeny tiny...)
13. Lolthbound Goblin – C, x4 (crooked legs and purple, but still a gobo, not too freaky for me)
20. Drow Assassin – C, x2 (drow with crossbow, hm)
21. Shadow Flayer - R, x1 (got legs, i'll take one)
24. Black Dragon Lurker - R, x1 (new pose)
37. Autumn Wind Ranger - R, x1 (new female ranger, rare, but still ok)
38. Blood Slaad - R, x2 (variety from the original is good, if you're wondering why the curse slaad isn't on this list, it's cause i think it looks like crap)
47. Hobgoblin Warcaster – C, x4 (goblinoid caster, iz ok)
48. Guard Drake – C, x4 (dino raptor, ok, drake means dinos in 4e)
50. Kruthik Hive Lord – U, x2 (goes with the other ones)
55. Kruthik Adult – C, x4 (more bugs)
57. Web Golem - R, x1 (different than the MM pic, but still ok)
58. Dire Bear Mauler – U, x2 (new dire bear, new pose, is good)

MEH:
10. Deathgrasp Sarcophagus – U, x2 (why so fancy? why? Can't really use it as dungeon dressing, it's too fancy.)
11. Drow Adventurer – U, x2 (looks cheap, but ok)
12. Drow Demonbinder - R, x1 (6 arms, on her way to being a spiderprincess "do my many arms make me look fat?")
34. Human Bandit – C, x4 (a bandit, with a giant sack... mk)
35. Spiretop Drake – U, x4 (passible as a small white dragon?)
41. Cyclops Hewer - R, x2 (good enough)

URK:
14. Runespiral Demon – C, x4 (what the crap is this? still, it's kinda neat, not like jar jar devil)
22. Spiderbound Drow Warrior – U, x4 (hm, more drow)
26. Phaseweb Spider – U, x2 (wtf is this? it looks like a gate, hm, I can use it as a gate... i'll take 2 gates please)
28. Gnoll Demon Adept – U, x2 (better than the first pic we saw)
29. Yuan-ti Malison Incanter - R, x1 (cheap ass stick, but the rest is good)
32. Bugbear Strangler – U, x2 (this guy looks like plain crap)
33. Bugbear Warrior – U, x4 (i like bugbears, this one is ok)
36. Scythejaw – U, x2 (uhm, animated trap? I don't know why I'm buying this one, it's neat, but no idea what I'd use it for!)
39. Brutal Ogre Warhulk - R, x1 (this guy looks "off", and isn't all that special for a rare ogre)
42. Ettin Spirit-Talker - R, x1 (garbage, but will lend variety to ettin armies)
43. Minotaur - R, x2 (wrong damn size... guess I'll be playing dragonlance in the future)

First off, I'll take one of each for the set completion compulsion.

One For Set Completion Only

1. Dragonborn Paladin of Bahamut (had my fill of Dragonborn rares)
2. Kuyutha, Exarch of Bahamut (as above, niche filling at least)
12. Drow Demonbinder (really bizarre)
17. Soulrider Devil (Jar-Jar What?)
19. Draegloth Favored One
21. Shadow Flayer (kinda strange to me)
23. Thoon Hulk (not a fan, to the dust box with you)
26. Phaseweb Spider (glad I have enough large spiders cause this one blows)
36. Scythejaw (kinda dumb)
40. Curse Slaad (Worse looking than Kermit the Slaad)
41. Cyclops Hewer (don't see myself using Cyclops)
45. Warforged Battle Captain (another registered Warforged hater)
49. Quickling Runner (no use for me)
57. Web Golem (hate it)
59. Girallon (a rare after an uncommon for a niche critter??)


One or Two Cause I Just Won't Use More

3. Halfling Archer
7. Rakshasa Assassin (a favourite though)
8. Tiefling Cleric of Asmodeus
15. Shardsoul Slayer
16. Solamith (interesting, will keep and likely use one)
24. Black Dragon Lurker (like it, love all dragons... still only one, have plenty of the previous large black)
25. Concord Illithid (another flayer to the team)
27. Skull Lord (interesting again, notlikely to use more than one)
29. Yuan Ti Malison Incanter (like it, as a rare I'll keep one for both variance and set completion)
31. Stormrage Blue Dragon (love the sculpt, but with so many of the first one)
32. Bugbear Strangler (bit goofy)
33. Bugbear Warrior (add them to horde)
37. Autumn Wind Ranger (very pretty, sure to see use)
38. Blood Slaad (decent)
39. Brutal Ogre Warhulk (cool leader type)
42. Ettin Spirit Talker (like it, don't need more Ettin)
58. Dire Bear Mauler (not nearly as cool as the DK one, sculpt is too bad for variance even)
60. Iron Dragon Prowler (I like dragons and always get 2 of the Metallics and 6 of the Chromatics)


Three to Six

34. Human Bandit (very cool)
44. Sharn Redcloak (cool enough for variance sake)
47. Hobgoblin Warcaster (undecided, stick some away)
48. Guard Drake  (excellent common, will fill several roles)
53. Crazed Kuo-Toa (have quite a few Kuo-toa, but some variance is good)
54. Deathcap (awesome mini!!!! not enough of these will be going around)
55. Kruthik Adult (sure, I have a plan for these)

12. Drow Demonbinder - r - too unique to ever want more than 1 of

45. Warforged Battle Captain u – warforged, the old dragonborns…
59. Girallon - r – got enough with tails

I had a good look at the pics on Greyhaze's site (awesome job btw!) and am totally unimpressed. This'll probably be the first set I don't plan on buying any boosters for -- there's just too much crap that I really don't want to have. There aren't really any pieces even that I'm hoping to pick up on the secondary market -- gotta say that for me, DDM has sunk to its lowest point so far. There's just not enough awesome re-sculpts to justify any purchases. Granted, my only use for minis at the moment is 3.5 RPG, but still, I was hopeful that there'd be something to pique my interest. Oh well, perhaps next set.

Yeah this is looking like the first set since Harbinger that I will not buy any boosters.  I count only 6 total rares I want.  I have more than that number of rares in my trade box from previous sets.  So, my plan is to buy a set of commons and uncommons and trade or buy singles off of ebay.

I don't have any use for the 4.0 monsters, I don't skirmish, and I don't need resculpts.

I don't have any use for the 4.0 monsters, I don't skirmish, and I don't need resculpts.

I too am sticking with 3.5.  Has anyone else wondered how badly WotC forecast how many of their audience would stick with 3.5?

I talked to a friend this week who had never played D&D before (and with whom I had not shared any opinions of 4e or 3.5).  He said he had played various RPG's in his life, but not D&D yet.  He then said that several of his co-workers play D&D and he said that they didn't like 4e at all and were sticking with 3.5.

I met another person in Barnes & Noble (an employee).  I didn't know him from prior D&D circles or hobby stores.  He said that he and his group were among the many groups invited to playtest 4e.  He showed me a 4e PHB from the shelf, where it thanks the various playtesters and has his name listed among many others.  He said that his group came up with pages and pages of feedback.  He said that after looking through the PHB, that it did not appear to him that WotC had even read through their suggestions, let alone made any changes at all.  He said that his group was totally turned off by 4e now.

I meet some 4e supporters, but I know many more people that don't like it.  I know WoW/D&D players who don't like 4e and have compared 4e with WoW.

I seriously feel that WotC miscalculated badly the reaction people would have to 4e, and regularly brush any criticism under the rug without giving it any serious consideration.

Since I generally attempt to acquire all the minis from each set in certain numbers I can't really rate that way

Here's what looks the best to me @ this time:
Rakshasa Assassin
Bearded Devil
Solamith
Thoon HulkDragons Iron,Blue & Black
Skull Lord
Both the Ogres
Cyclops

I'm curious to see how that will change once in hand

My opinion on the most useful
Mezzodemon
B. Devil
Drow Adventurer
Deathlock Wight
Phaseweb Spider
Kruthiks
Stirge
Dragons
Drakes
and Humanoids-Goblinoids, Gnolls, Slaadi, Ettin, Trogs, Kuo-Toa & Illithids
I don't mind some of the differences between sculpts-variety is fine

Compulsion collector here also.  I will need to get at leadt one of each.Â

That said, I really like this set and IMO it should be a pretty ggod sealed set.  From the Previews / Spoilers that we do know, it looks pretty good.  And then there are a lot of other figurs that we do not know the stats on.Â

Yes, the set has a number of resculpts (Large Black Dragon, Large Blue Dragon, Bearded Devil, to name a few), but these figures look cool to me.  And of course this set looks like it may have a few duds, sculpt and skirmish wise.  But it does look like this set is going to include objects (yea shroom).Â

So I am really excited about Demonweb and am likely to bu get two cases (first time since Night Below).  I can't wait for the Pre-Release now and its still two wweks away and two more after that for the release.Â
