New Miniature book base classes [scoop?]

[Ondo]

Presumably the initial set of D&D Miniatures should have some for the new classes, since they come out the same month. Assuming the PC Gallery is complete, it should have the miniatures for the new classes.

They pretty much all seem to work with the old classes though. Maybe Skirmisher (or Archer), Pyromancer, and Captain. I don't see a second spellcaster type though,

3. Class name: Mystic. Role: the Witch. Source: Morgan le Fay, fairy tales. Rationale: Right now there's no spontaneous divine caster. Sure, Druids and Clerics can swap for healing on the fly, but this class can swap any divine spell for any other divine spell. Lightly armoured, with lots of skill points. Think "Sorcerer", but divine.

Well, there is one, but not in the core books: the shugenja from Oriental Adventures. No-one ever remembers the shugenja.

The miniatures game has four classes

You posted much more (and it was good stuff!) but I just wanted to touch on this for a second: the miniatures game doesn't have any classes at all. But the D&D Miniatures Handbook has four new base classes for the D&D RPG.

Just wanted to make that distinction. The 4 new classes aren't classes for D&D Miniatures; they're new base classes for the D&D RPG.
