Minions were a good surprise for my group.

It was one leader orc (obvious) and 15+ minions (no clue from me they weren't reguar orcs)--after they had run an encounter or 2 to get a feel for how powerful NPCs are.

I had all their attention for the first couple of rounds of combat, before they realized that they were fighting one hit wonders. (Well 2 hit wonders--the leader had the orc aura that let them get in a death blow.)
