Blood Wars Minis

[Kae'Yoss]

I kind of agree with regards to the sorceror on black dragon. Blah.

But a gith on red dragon? That's not only iconic, it's seriously cool.

Arcanists on dragons are common both for the Zhentarim and for the Cult of the Dragon (Zhentarim Skymage and Wearer of Purple).

Yes. We can never have too many kobolds.

We can if other stuff is neglected because of them.

I like the mounted minis, although I wish that they would include the rider as a standard non-mounted figure in the same set (in addition to the mounted version - much like the Snig / Mounted Snig, although they came from different sets). It would make them much more useful to me.

The same would go for the Paladin, Griffon Rider, Blackguard on Nightmare, etc.
By all means, have a mounted figure or two in each set, but have their non-mounted counterparts also available (and in the same set).

I don't like kobolds, but the mini's have been fun. Meepo, dragonwrought, and the kobold miners and sorcerers especially.
That said, it's just irritating that they have more kobolds and meanwhile we're gnome-impaired.

The Githyanki make the set for me so far. The marilith was a huge disappointment and I could care less about the pit fiend or solar. The ice devil looked neat, but eh.

That will change. Blood War will contain two gnomes, and I think that this time, they won't withold them for quite as long as last time.

Based off of the last few sets they tend to "boost" one race per set.

10
Tiamat subspecies
9
Warforged
8
drow
7
planar: good
6
dwarves
5
Yuan-ti / Kobolds
4
Giants

Looks like the Gith will be the boosted species for set #11

I hope the Saughin get there cleric and mutant next Gnomes....maybe an Eberron Trust spy would be neat.

oh and this would not be complete without my asking for this-

DARKSUN FIGURES!!!!!

Well, they exist, but they're hardly what I'd call common, and they're very FR specific. Even dragonlance doesn't really have mages on dragons - thats what all the brainless knights are for...


And regardless of setting, mounted mages on Dragons aren't as common (or as iconic) as gith on red dragons.

They're definitely in the same ball park. If the one isn't common, the other isn't, either. Gith maybe a bit more common, but it's not by a lot.

The solar looks fantastic! The pit fiend, not so much.

Well no, I'd tend to say that *anything* mounted on a dragon isn't exactly common. In my campaign(s) though, I know I'd have a lot more use for the gith on red dragon than a sorceror on black dragon, but your campaign(s) may be (and probably are) different.
