[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 5278803, member: 5948"] As for a wish list (though it's not going to be a long one, since most of my wishlist has been covered in the past set or two! Bebiliths, nalfeshnees, death giants, hydras, green dragons and so on): - Demogorgon - Some human minis with a non-European aesthetic. Personally as a Savage Tide GM I'd kill for some Aztec-looking minis, but I'll take what I can get - Aztec-style, Indian-style, Oriental, African, Egyptian WITHOUT being a mummy, Mongol, middle-eastern, native American, Australian Aboriginal, whatever. While there's been a few generically dark-skinned minis over time, they're all basically dressed in standard-issue Euro-medieval fantasy clothing and equipment (with the exception of a few samurai and ninjas). It'd be nice to have something a bit more non-standard for when PCs inevitably visit strange and foreign lands. And even WotC settings are stuffed full of cultures that are direct ripoffs of historical human cultures after all... - non-rare lesser outsiders, particularly ones found in large groups like bearded devils - keep up the couple of non-combat minis that have been included in each set recently. Treasure chests and bear traps and the trebuchet and so on. I'm not a fan of the astral portal (how often do you need one of those?) but I'm a big fan of the principle. It'd be great to see more non-combat CHARACTER models though, rather than object models - nobles, commoners, shopkeepers etc of both sexes and various ages would be great. It's incredibly hard to find a non-armed miniature for an non-combatant NPC in need of rescue or protection. - a pennagolan and a hopping vampire - a big fat crime lord/thieves' guildmaster with an oversized cigar - a couple of amorphous sinewy horrors covered with eyes, tentacles and teeth (foulspawn are far too boringly humanoid for my Far Realmy taste) - Modrons! (yeah, can't see that one happening...) [/QUOTE]
