Player’s Handbook Heroes Set 2 Gallery
Posted by Fozz
The Player's Handbook Heroes Set 2 looks very nice and will make a great addition to any collection. I especially like the Genasi Paladin and Human Swordmage due to their versatility as a wide range of classes.
Demonweb Preview: Kruthik
Posted by Fozz
The newest preview was released last week and man, I wish I had these little guys for my first session of the Scales of War campaign. They were a tough fight and their automatic aura damage was pretty rough for the PCs. So here they are for your viewing pleasure the Kruthik Adult and Kruthik Hive Lord.
Demonweb Preview and BIG NEWS for D&D Minis!!!
Posted by Fozz
OK, let's just get into the big news first then we can look at the previewed minis. After the upcoming Demonweb set, the D&D minis will no longer be (completely) randomized and will come in two flavors; Hero packs and Monster packs. There will be six D&D Heroes packs with 3 visible figures each, 2 males and 1 female. Each figure will also come with a unique power card featuring a brand new class power.
The first D&D Monsters set called Monster Manual: Dangerous Delves will release as a 40 figure set. Each package will contain 5 figures, 1 visible, 1 rare, 1 uncommon, and 2 common.
Now here's the downside, in my opinion, the price is a little high ($10.99 for Heroes and $14.99 for Monsters) and the stores will have too many options to stock. So instead of having 1 SKU for a random D&D pack, you will have 6 SKUs for each hero pack and then another SKU for each monster pack depending on which mini is visible. This seems like a downside for game stores, at least, which in turn is bad for the players because they won't have access to all the packs. So what is the most logical solution, shop online, and that only means less business for the actual stores.
I don't know how I feel about it exactly. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
Oh yeah, the two new previews are for a pair of Ogres. The Ogre Pulverizer and the Brutal Ogre Warhulk. I really like these two guys, they look both mean and dumb, which can be a bad combination.
D&D News Updates
Posted by Fozz
Wizards of the Coast has posted several new items over the past few days. Most notible is the release of the Barbarian class playtest. (Download here)
The barbarian draws upon the primal power source in order to quickly move around the battlefield dealing out damage while still being able to absorb lots of pain. A barbarians daily powers are called rages, which allow you to enter a rage state and have enhanced attacks and other benefits. It sounds like an amazing class and I am definately going to roll one up to to play with if possible.
In other lest exciting news, WotC has also posted this weeks mini previews. The Mezzodemon is an evil little demon that will poke you with a trident and then spew poison in your face. Yum. then we have the lumbering Cyclops Hewer, that will stare you down with an evil eye and then slice you and your friends heads off with a wide swing of its battleaxe.
And finally the worst news of all is that the D&D Insider subscription program will be starting in a matter of days, and without any cool programs available yet, this seems like a poor time to start.

D&D Mini Preview: Demonweb

Wizards release the first preview of their upcoming Demonweb set of minatures. First, is a Spiderbound Drow Warrior, that has a spider on his shield that crawls off and attacks nearby foes.

Next we have the Shadow Flayer, that is equiped with a spear and shadow cloak that can turn him invisible, so he can sneak up on you and suck your brain out. There are several mindflayers in this set, which I am excited for since I don't have any yet.

The last preview is of a big fat demon called Solamith. This nasty demon takes huge chucks of its own flesh and hurls it at you. The souls that are trapped in his flesh cause them to explode into a ball of fire on impact. I really like the concept of this creature, but the model is a little bland to me.

I'm still looking for local players to play with so if you are interested, let me know.
Wizards releases D&D Miniatures Adventure
Posted by Fozz
Wizards of the Coast released a cool little adventure for D&D minis that can be played solo or 2 players. I looked it over and it seems pretty cool. I really like the idea of involving a short story with your D&D mini battles.
It can be played with any minis you have and comes with the cards for you to print out, in case you don't have the exact ones needed.
I will have to give it a play through, but I like the concept and look forward to more adventures published this way. Download it here.
