Um, don't you two have access to Peter. Make it happen already.

There is no such thing as a water elemental in D&D anymore, so i doubt they'll be making a miniature for it.

When I was first hired but before I made it out to Seattle, I started brainstorming a list of potential figures for the Huge set that will come out this summer; one of the figures on it was a huge Trebuchet. (I still have the piece of paper tacked up on the wall next to me.) It didn't end up making the final set list, but maybe I should reconsider it for this one.

Good point.

*5 minute pause*

Okay, back. Rodney and I went and slapped Pete around a little (see Pete's post).

Now, what about a HUGE MODRON? :P

[Remathilis]

Balor for certain
Huge Green/Blue/Black Dragons
Frost Titan
Colossus

I also like the catapult/Trebuchet idea

[megamania]

I'm a 3.5 guy so forgive me if I give outdated stuff-

Huge Water Elemental ( removable from base so that a medium figure can be placed inside as it engulfed

Dragon King (I know- Darksun- dead game world at this point still)

Dragon Turtle

1/2 Dragon dinosaur of some sort

Dire Shark (hammer head for something different or Tiger shark)

Green Dragon (minus silly unicorn chin horns)

Dire Bear (advanced)

Huge nasty snake (ought to be stunning to look at)

Huge undead seige beetles (okay- its obvious I play Darksun)

[megamania]

I forgot the most important one- Eberron's Carrion Crabs!

Won't that be in the MM4?

[avin]

If you guys are really going to make a huge trebuchet please consider the idea of doing also a small tower for siege.

I think a trebuchet, a tower and stuff like that deserves an "icon" treatment for test its viability...

[crash_beedo]

Ah, thanks for asking for some feedback! I will chime in for:

Fomorians! Those guys are the early paragon fey villains of choice.
Huge Dragons - Green, Blue, Black
Huge Shadow Dragon... (Nightwyrm Fortress)
Aspect of Orcus - new art
Treant (classic styled, with greenry)
What! No Black Pudding huge? Why not!
Huge Hydra has a lot of appeal.
Titans
Gibbering Orb or tentacled Abberration
Huge Angel
Balor

I'm assuming a Goristro is on the way already! If not, get it in there.

[JoeGKushner]

Huge base of rubble/difficult terrain that doubles as a huge mimick that's trick is to look like battworn earth.

[dangerous jack]

A few of my choices would be:

Brown Dragon
Gibbering Orb
Goristro
Mordant Hydra
Purple Worm
Demonweb Terror (Spider)
Treant

[Felon]

Folks, I'm genuinely surprised that I'm the first to say this, but....

ZOMBIE THRONG!!!

That's from Open Grave. Your veritable huge frickin' mob of clawing, grabbing zombies acting as a single creature. Talk about a mini that folks won't mind having multiples of! It easily passes the "cool-as-a-dragon" test. Can we all get behind this as a people?

Other than that, I'd love to see a tomb tapper or phaerim.

[JoeGKushner]

Hell, make two of them based off the same models. Make the first a 'villager mob' style and then using the same figs but with modifications, a zombie throng.

I'm thinking that letting the consumer choose between DRAGONS!!!!!11111 and "dirt" is probably not the best play...

Depends on what's on the dirt. Some ruined towers, fallen statues, etc... as opposed to 'ground'.

But on the other hand, I'm always seeing people demand more mundane things. "I needs another twenty or so pig farmers. Get me some more mushrooms! Need some more stuffs like dat!"

Still seems like it decisively fails the "par with Dragon" test, and would work better as a Dungeon Tile or 5.

Now, what about a Colossus? As long as it doesn't have a clear force-blade in hand, it can double as a giant ruined statue and as an Epic monster.

[RangerWickett]

Hey, if you go for a colossus, give him a giant flaming axe instead of a force sword. It would look much cooler (and fit my campaign).

Maybe a massive spider smaller figures wrapped in a web at its feet.

Demogorgon seems like an obvious inclusion to me. Orcus too. Call them aspects, if you want.

A cloud giant holding his hand up high, with lightning striking down from his palm.

I'd love to see a treant that looks like an old gnarled tree that's come alive, rather than a man made out of wood with some branches up top.

Cthulhu.

Towers, a gate, trebuchets, ballista, scorpions, etc, would all be useful Huge minis, too. Most collected in multiples by those who would want them, I suspect, and easily sold or traded by those who didn't want them.
