Hi,

I just got back from the Spiel game con in Essen, Germany, and they had some minis on display. Most of them we've seen before, but I think I spotted one that's new. I took some pics.

Thank you. Did you have the opportunity to read the base of the mini with the sword with red blade and green hilt? If so, will you please share the information you gathered? Thanks.

I'm afraid not, the minis were neatly locked in a glass cabinet, so I couldn't look underneath. I was kind of hoping someone here would be able to identify it. ;)

Orc Rhino-rider isn't thrilling.

The improbably muscled, scantily-clad humanoid looks like an interesting sculpt. Not sure I like the red sword/greenhilt (OOTS nod?) combo.

Looks like the redbladed fig might be a hobgoblin "warlock" of some sort.  The blade looks cartoony, looks like we'll be getting a lot of cartoony stuff now...

The rhino is the banebreak from last set.

Thanks for the pictures, Doc.

That is one ugly miniature. It doesn't even look much like DDM to me. It looks more like a cheap piece of rubbish that fell out of someone's Christmas cracker. I'll give that one a miss.

At least it's a relief to read that the Lamebreak is the one from the last set, and not another hasty resculpt.

I'm with Yack here.  Common Githyanki Blood Sorcerer or something like that seems likely.  Common is the guess since the sword was painted with whatever two colors the production guys had the most of lying around.  ;)

Kinda looks like something that fled the demise of Dreamblade if you ask me...I certainly hope that the neon green/brilliant red sword is just due to bad lighting.  It certainly clashes.  Glad I don't have the folks who painted that one picking out my clothing in the morning.

I really don't like that sword. I can't decide if I want the mini to be rare so I don't get many or if I want it to be an uncommon so it doesn't waste a rare slot.

Thanks for the pics though.

That;s an Orc banebreak.....

Githyanki was my first impression as well.

I doubt it is a Githyanki because all the artwork I've ever seen for Githyanki portrayed them wearing civilized clothing / armor, wielding their "silver swords". They also have no nose to speak of and often have flaps of skin hanging from their elbows (ah, the cover of the old Fiend Folio...).

Anyways, this guy's likely human, or a human-like Yuan-Ti / cultist. The blade strikes me as something maybe like Chitin, or crystal - perhaps a psionic mini?
