Well at least know we know what one mage was supposed to be in the last preview.

Too bad no LE/CE minis were mentioned. (Reasonable sure most except the Talatana mini is LG.)
 

So Deathknell had four dwarves (five if you include the dwarf skeleton). Angelfire already has the dwarf mercenary, dwarf raider, dwarf wizard, and (possibly) the cleric of Dol Arrah. Not really a complaint, but I'm just a little surprised when this is supposed to be an outsider-themed set.
 

I prefer it when a theme doesn't dominate a set to the extent of ignoring the normal player - outsiders are great, but you need more than just them.

Outsiders so far:
Sword Archon
Djinni
Barbed Devil
Efreeti
Imp
Hezrou
Red Slaad
Steel Predator

Not bad... and I'm sure there are more to come!
 





What is a Dol Arrah?

And where is the Red Slaad mentioned?

Anyway, I think the dwarf merc is OK - finally a sword-and-board dwarf, all those axe/shield wielders are getting redundand - and the raider might have a greataxe or maybe spear, so this will be something new, too. Finally, we have the dwarf wizard, which was missing, too.

So after that, we can say we have all the dwarves we need, and can stop having several per set. One to satisfy the dwarf fanboys, but not more.

Duergar, on the other hand....
