New D&D Miniatures Set - Hmm...

[Betote]

Wow. Seriously, what happened to the good sculptors?

I liked Night Below a lot. I loved Desert of Desolation. From there, it's been spiraling down. Dungeons of Dread had just a few good sculptures. Against the Giants had some rares worth having. This one... the cyclops is kinda OK, but that's all

Guess I'll have to go back to Warhammer/Confrontation miniatures...

Wotc is using CAD and it seems they need to improve their skills a bit.

None of these are must haves. Most of them look downright terrible. A couple look like Dreamblade rejects (which had some great figures.)

I think I'll wait till the next line.

I like the black dragon lurker.

However, most of the minis look pretty bad. Too many bright colours, and too many of them look cartoonish.

 

[avin]

I keep asking myself who at Wotc is thinking cartoon pleases D&D players?

Asked twice on their boards but got no answer so far... =/

I like the mushroom.

It looks like a fun guy to play....

You deserve to stand in the corner for that one.

@avin:cartoon

Apparently everyone in the D&D departments from minis to tiles, to RPG....

Aren't you the one that compared the new and old ettin's?

No, not me.

I think it's a real shame that the best looking mini in that set is a frackin' mushroom!

Maybe that explains the set?

Shrooms were not only the design concept, but the snack of choice.

 

[Drkfathr1]

That WOULD explain a lot!
