Blood Wars Minis

[Arnwyn]

Indeed - that elf is very well done.

The elf looks very nice, although I already have so many elves... even female ones. It may have been better to explore other options - Eberron/FR Races, Neglected Monsters, etc. although she sure is sexy as shown.

I love the elf, that is one very cool miniature imho. Not so impressed with the gnome though.

Agreed.
Elf - very nice.
Gnome - straight to my trades list.

That's the "Elf Whoa!-Mage". That elf wench looks great.

The gnome: Way past time for another one. It can't be confused with a halfling, too, and it does feature the gnome's special weapon. I say it's nice enough.

I guess the other gnome will be a bard (to get the favoured class covered).

This set is really looking good.

 

[Nightfall]

It's better than the last set that's for sure. War of the Dragon Queen was nice but I like fiends more. And Iconics.

Preface: I don't use minis, so I'm just playing peanut gallery.

Ok the Bezikira kicks ass. The gelugon likewise looks pretty spiffy. But a good chunk of the minis in the 'Blood War' set, really have little to nothing to do with the actual Blood War. Can I assume that the previous sets had the same thing with a fraction of the minis having to do with the set theme and the rest being just tossed in as filler?

And that gnome looks like he should be dancing in front of an organ grinder.

In a word, yes. Most sets have a few dozen minis that are directly on topic with their theme, and then the rest fairly basic (plenty of humanoids, some monsters that haven't been translated yet). War of the Dragon Queen, for example, was heavy on the dragons and spawn of Tiamat, but had plenty of witchknives, stirges and tavern brawlers to round out the set. The most on-topic one so far was War Drums, but that's because it's pretty easy to say anything's participating in a war.

Demiurge out.

Yup. Wardrums had a high ratio of warlike figures, but then again, these figures are used for combat, so that's not hard.

It's usually a fourth to a fifth of the set, the rest is other stuff. I guess they do it so that if you're not interested in demons, you still buy Blood Ear.

But of those figures we know from Blood War, a lot fit the theme. WotDQ also had a high ratio of draconics, so I guess they intensify the focus.

I know that was a typo, but it sounded rather fun to me.. Wonder what we could expect in a set called Blood Ear? (which does sound rather painful..)

An Audioloth wielding a bohemian ear-spoon? A sonic elemental? Ear-grubs would be a horrific monster!

OK, now I've got that out of my system..
