I want a dragonborn myrmidon, a half-elf assassin, a tiefling gladiator and a mighty swordmaster for my PCs!

And I want a better picture of the Elder Red Dragon. Can't see its face here!

This is, IMO, the worst set yet. The only minis that are only vaguely interesting are Rare.

All the Large and Huge minis are rare except for a few that you would never get much use out of.

I'm very disappointed. I was looking forward to some good Dragonborn and Tiefling minis, and I'd really like to get an adult kruthik since there's one in a certain recently released adventure.

 

[Agamon]

Uh...wow. I didn't get any of the last set because of all the suck. More than a few of those are awesome, and most of them are really good. Getting a couple of cases, for sure.

The Commons:

Degenerate Cultist of Orcus
Flamescorched Kobold
Galeb Duhr
Gnaw Demon
Goblin Runner
Hobgoblin Guard
Ochre Jelly
Orc Zombie
Ravenous Dire Rat

It's either critters we already have plenty of, or critters we're never going to need more than one or two of.

 

[Kaodi]

Yeah, not very good overall. I already have the Lurking Wraith though, from Free RPG Day. He is more blue than that picture makes it seem, however.

Many of those minis are pretty atrocious, though.

 

[Korgoth]

Those don't really look that good.

 

[Exquisite Dead Guy]

Looking at the Galeb Duhr I just wanna holler "hey kool-aid!"

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

And both the dragonborn are rares. Good luck finding minis for your 4e dragonborn players.

I dunno, Ashrem, the paint scheme seems 100000X better than it was in the previous set. In fact, I'd venture to say the paint on these looks the best I've seen in any set. But I'm not a mini expert, so others can probably give a better comparison/analysis.

My issue isn't the paint, or even the sculpts, but the dispersion. All the minis you'd want are Rare. There are a few Uncommons, but all the Commons suck.

Unless you want armies of chain golems and ochre jellies, you'd be better off sticking to the secondary market. But of course, you're going to pay out the yin-yang for rares.

What really kills me is that there are two dragonborn and one tiefling, all three of which are Rare.
