[Hawklord]

The Steel Predator and the Ophidian are in the Fiend Folio IIRC.

 

[thalmin]

The Orog Warlord is credited to Races of Faerun .

 

[Sammael]

Ulmo Litghtbringer and Sword Archon are in the Book of Exalted Deeds.
Divine Crusader of Corellon is from Complete Divine.
Ghaele Eladrin is from the MM.
Direguard is in Monsters of Faerun and Lost Empires of Faerun.

There is no Abyssal Stalker. It's the Abyssal Skulker, and he is from MM2.

The Feral Minotaur is well sculpted, even if the horns are 3 sizes too large and bent the wrong way. The sculpt also has the look to suit a guardian Daemon once it is given wings.

I like the way it looks like a fiendish ape. But maybe thats because i run Minotaurs as being almost as fecund as orcs are. poor monkey...

Stat wise for the D&D Game, They are the perfect counter to Players tring to load up on "pounce" type abilities. Sort of a "two can play this game". I personally HATE pounce, but it is useful to have things that can take advantage of it.

Only real problem is its left claw looks like it could be holding, well... remember that one tarzan toy?

 

[DaveMage]

In general, I like the set.

I do NOT like the fact that they are making minis that are entirely new creations. With thousands of monsters to choose from, why make all-new creatures?

In fairness, I do not play the skirmish, and I only want these for my D&D game, but with only 60 minis per set, I want the monsters that I don't have representation for, not new creatures!

One thing, though, PLEASE STOP WITH THE DWARVES!!!!

We already have, like 15-20 different dwarves. No more, please!

 

[frankthedm]

A few too many dwarves is true. LG needs more Converted to Good Monsters like the Ogre Penitant[chainmail]. This way the Lawful good's mini game faction gets its figs, while the RPG players get their monsters.

Dwarves have thier uses considering most PC parties are cesspools of chaos, but the rank and file dwarves are getting too numerous. A rare dwarf in a large enginering contraption or armed with an AlchemistFire-thrower would be good ideas though.

I agree. I think we have now all the dwarves we need, or nearly. Maybe a dwarven Monk, but that's it, then. Duergar, now that's another matter.

Anyway, I wish they'd give the other races a similar treatment: More elves (though they aren't that rare, either), gnomes, halflings, please.

5 - Justice Archon - possibly a Justicar from MM3?

No, that's a Justice Archon, debuting in Angelfire

I agree, it's just the kind of monster that doesn't have a future

I actually like the looks of that thing, though I agree that they should cover the basics of D&D first.

OTOH I looked at the page and I really think the Trumpet Archon is my favourite ever.

I can't help but think that this archon - law and goodness incarnate - should know better than to smoke a join - especially that huge thing.

 

[Felon]

Hey, plenty o'monsters, and that makes me happy.

I forget, are steel predators large?

 

[thalmin]

Yes, they are.
