[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4520018, member: 70778"] "rare or better" Are they implying that rare minis have been purposefully painted better than all other before now? Are they saying there will be a rarity level that is more rare than a rare. In many games including MK, SWM, etc the next step up from a rare is a unique. Since this "unique" would not exist in random distribution but as completely visible and purchasable as a fixed mini in the Heroes packagin, it means that this mini will be more common than a random distribution common as you can always buy it without risk of not getting it in the package you purchase. So they would be a common unique. Unique coming both from Mage Knight where that was the rarity of a mini that did not have stages of power (weak, strong, tough), but only had one stage and made it unique to the design scheme and outside of rare common and uncommon, and also in the sense that MAhe Knight and DDM uses in that a unique mini is unique to the army/world, and you can only have one in play on your side at a time. So a unique being more "rare" than rare, but easy to acquire in the collectible aspect making it common, ergo a common unique. [/QUOTE]
