| July:War of the Dragon Queen Huge Packs
I know we're all still sifting through the spoils of the War Drums expansion, but I also know that none of us can wait to lay our hands on the War of the Dragon Queen. If you didn't already know, this is going to be the second expansion to feature Huge miniatures. (And you remember how impressive the Giants of Legend expansion was.)
So, there are 12 Huge minis to look forward to in the set. And it's a 60-miniature set -- not 72. The Huges are mixed in with the other minis, keeping the set size the same as any other expansion. And, of course, you're going to get a Huge in every pack you open. There's a lot to look forward to in this set (such as the first real stab at clear plastic, Large bases that entirely fill their 4x4 square, another Tiny, and three miniatures with the word "Kobold" in the title.) Over the next several months, you'll see what I mean. Let's get on with the first set of preview minis, taking care of all my self-imposed requirements.
Keep in Mind: These are Master Paints
Just as a reminder, the images you see in this article and over in the D&D Miniatures Gallery, as well as what gets printed on the side of the box and the checklist poster are all Master Paint miniatures. That is, they're the minis used as the "this is what we'd like the mini to end up looking like" example for the factory to use as a guideline. Occasionally, for various and sundry reasons, paint steps have to be altered, eliminated, or added after the Master Paint stage. So, what ends up in the little plastic bags isn't always what you get to see in these various forms of preview. (That's why the back of the box sports that standard-issue legal disclaimer: "Product contents and colors may vary.")
Also, don't ever forget that there's a whole pile of people here at WotC that want these minis to be as cool as they possibly can because we use them in our D&D games and warbands too. Ich bin ein Fanboy.
Aspect of Tiamat -- The name of the set kinda gives her away, but there's no way I could start off this first preview article without showing the poster goddess of the set. As one of the set's six Rare Huges, the Aspect of Tiamat certainly sets the bar for sheer base-filling presence: The crest on that green dragon head easily slides past the 3-inch mark and her wings clock her in at 4-1/2-inches tall. From red dragon snout to tail, she's 5-1/2-inches long -- but from the black dragon head's horns (the front-most feature) to the trailing tips of her wings (the rear-most), she's around 6-1/2 inches in length. The wings make her 4 inches wide (on a just-shy of a 3-inch base), so she could make use of her sheer size to warrant a nasty frightful presence. Though, I'd wager to say it's the five dragon heads that really drive home what makes Tiamat (or, in this case, the Aspect of Tiamat) the intimidating, fear-inducing, awesome creature that she is. It seems as if the arrangement of the heads varies by depiction, but this incarnation of the Chromatic Dragon has them configured in the same order as they appear on the holy symbol depicted on page 158 of Races of the Dragon. (But a mirror image of their arrangement in the old Saturday morning cartoon.) Each head is a well-rendered sculpt that incorporates each of its respective species traits (those black dragon horns, the blue dragon rhinolike horn, the red dragon's frill, the green dragon's alligatorlike teeth, and the white dragon's beakish snout). Each head (and neck) has little touches and treatments that help give them a little character unto themselves. (The blue has a metallic sheen in paces, the white has a blue/green patina.) The majority of the Aspect of Tiamat's beefy body is a reddish-black, or blackish red, whichever you prefer. The reddish tones are most oticeable on the frill running down her spines and tail and on the limbs of her wings, though the scales that cover her body have a drybrush/wash treatment that picks out the color there as well. Her wings are leathery black with tufts of grayish fur at the base of each "thumb." At the end of her tail is the detail that sets apart this authentic Aspect of Tiamat from all those knock-offs you find when on vacation -- her stinger. The scorpionlike bulb and barb are held casually off the ground, ready to impale or inject (depending on just how big her target may be -- that stinger is 3/4 of an inch long, not taking its curvature into account). All in all, menacing.
Meepo, Dragonlord -- At last. After his debut in The Sunless Citadel, Meepo has enjoyed a grassroots celebrity unparalleled by any other character or creature introduced in 3.0 or since -- not bad for a kobold. So we finally get a Meepo miniature, and an impressive (Rare) one at that. Since we all last saw him, Meepo has been hard at work on the self-improvement front. This isn't the weepy Keeper of Dragons upset over the loss of his tribe's pet white dragon -- this is a fierce warrior ready for action and able to handle himself. If his confident, somewhat aggressive, pose doesn't convey competence, you have to consider that armor he's wearing; the most notable feature on Meepo, Dragonlord, is that sturdy-looking suit of armor, which seems to have been fashioned out of white dragon hide. (Perhaps Meepo got tired of taking abuse from Calcryx, his former charge.) Wherever -- or however -- he got it, the armor's really nicely crafted, with laminated sleeves, a high neck that also protects the back of his head, laminated cuisses that protect his upper legs, and a skirt that even has a tail hole. Meepo's large metal shield is also noticeably unique in its design, having a section that appears to allow him to take maximum advantage of the shield's coverage over his torso and shoulders, while affording him a clear view. The curved notch at the bottom might be decorative but could also serve as an impromptu weapon. It might also be a feature that plays a part in some unique fighting style Meepo has devised: The way he's holding his short sword in his fully outstretched arm (who knew Meepo was a Lefty?) gives you the impression that he's up to something. It might be nothing more than a powerful, sweeping upward stabbing motion, but you know how tricksy those kobolds can be. When you get the chance to turn the mini around, you take more note of the fashionable bright red pants Meepo's sporting, as well as the brown leather belt, beltpouch, and backpack (which is closed with a large brass clasp). That backpack is the detail that makes me think Meepo, Dragonlord, has embarked on an adventuring career. If I were to create a new kobold character, I think it'd be a moral imperative to roll up a fighter that could make use of this mini; he's a great character-worthy mini and would also make a great companion to the Kobold Champion and Kobold Sorcerer in a band of tough bad-guy kobolds.
Dragonwrought Kobold -- That's right -- a kobold with wings. Not a new subspecies or anything, the (Uncommon) Dragonwrought Kobold is the plastic incarnation of a standard-issue kobold who took the Dragonwrought and Dragon Wings feats. (Which you'll find on page 100 of Races of the Dragon.) So, now we've got a very noble-looking warrior standing ready for action. (He does sort of have that "honor guard" look about him.) Clad in a steel breastplate (decorated with a stylized dragon device on the chest) over a simple leather tunic, the Dragonwrought Kobold is armed with a shortspear (or javelin), held ready to jab, block, or throw. The silver bracer on his right wrist is the only other adornment on the mini. As far as obolds go, this guy weighs in around the size and build of the Kobold Warrior from the Harbinger expansion and the Kobold Skirmisher from the Dragoneye expansion, but has the style (sculpt-wise) of the more recent additions to our kobold tribes (such as the Kobold Miner from the Underdark expansion.)
The slight build makes sense, when you consider those wings need to take him aloft, particularly when he's wearing that armor. Not that you couldn't have loaded up a squad of kobolds with potions, spells, and items to send them into the air above a landbound adventuring party before now, but the Dragonwrought Kobold throws open the door to that possibility with such force that I can't help but imagine squadrons of flying kobolds sailing overhead, hurling spears, javelins, alchemist's fire, tanglefoot bags, and worse things to the earth below. (Not that it's a flattering analogy, but they'd make great flying monkey-type soldiers for some bad guy.) | |

I like the disclaimer on master paints, actually, it is a good touch. If the color is 67% as good in life on the Aspect as here, that should be good enough. | |

Everyone is so happy for Meepo right now, I cant wait to see the cries when they start pulling multiples of him as their rare. I can already see the anger... =) | |

| Not a fan of Tiamat...
I never thought it possible for that to happen....
all the heads just sort of look glued on (yes, I know they are), but they aren't supposed to look that way....
the colours really need to merge together rather than just start/stop...
I guess we'll see the real one eventually. | |

| 3 minis that have "Kobold" in the tital....Meepo, Dragonlord does not have "kobold" in its name.
Are we getting 4 kobolds??? [xx(]
We have enough Kobold sculpts thank you..I dont really need 4 more.
He didnt say 3 Kobolds..he said "3 with Kobold in the tital" so maybe a Gnome Kobold Salyer???
HOWEVER...The winged kobold is not just another kobold..Its Dragonwrought! So he gets an enthusiastic thumbs up from me.
And Meepo is Meepo...Theres no way I can say anything bad about Meepo. This Meepo however cant really be used in The Sunless Citidel. In that adventure a standard Kobold Warrior is more fitting. This version is like the Epic Handbook version with white dragon scale armor...Its an awsome idea. Next time I run the adventure I will make sure Meepo survives to become the mini that was made for him!! Another Thumbs Up.
Tiamat...Huges are very special..we are lucky if we get 12 a year...so every slot counts. I very much want all my huges to be worth while. Aspects really arent.
HOWEVER...Its freakin Tiamat. She just look awsome...The beholder and the Huge Gold Dragon cant even compete...heck Im not even sure if the Gargantuan Black can compete with this mini in the looks department. It may not be especially RPG useful...But its so pretty that Im drooling just looking at the picture. Plus thanks to RHoD the mini IS useful now :)

Can't wait for some spoilers...
Tiamat, well, she looks cool, though I likely will never use her for RPG, likewise the winged kobold won't likely show up either...

Dragonwrought Kobold makes me think of Deekin from the Neverwinter Nights games.

| The aspect of tiamat looks amazing. I was a bit worried from the art on the box cover that the figure would have a kind of static pose but it looks great. Looks like the red dragon is about to spew fiery death, spewing fiery death is always a good look for D&d minis. [:D]
And echoing everyone elses sentiments. WooHoo for meepo. Bout time. | |

| I can honestly say: I am not that thrilled to see Meepo. I don't care that he's made, but a huge set is a bad place to produce it. That's me, though.
The Dragonwrought kobold: cool! I'm going to need a handful of these, especially since I have Races of the Dragon. [)] Looks like this Dragonwrought chose the Red dragon as it's ancestor.
Aspect of Tiamat: The headliner. The goddess. Takhisis incarnate. I really like it. Yes, I do. However, I do have slight problems with the red dragon head. It could just be the angle, but it's got me a little worried. That said, I will still want at least two. Maybe 3. Gotta have me dragon fix! [:D] | |

| Tiamat looks pretty darn good (maybe not quite as good as I had hoped, but I think expectations were just too high for any figure to live up to). Will definitely be pumped about pulling one. Meepo and the Dragonwrought both look cool (especially the dragonwrought), but I don't know how excited I would be to have the rare in my booster be a small size figure.
I also like that they put that message in the side panel about master paints. Nice to see them continue to respond to the community. | |

I find irony in following the disclaimer is a long description of colours of the mini [)]
Great looking minis though.

That aside, 3 kobold related minis + Meepo, clear minis, a look at tiamat. Not bad. I'm not disappointed with this preview.
The winged kobolds are alright, they might be interesting in skirmish and RPG.
Meepo, ok, a leader for the Kobolds in skirmish, but for RPG we coulda just used a Kobold Champ. Too bad he wasn't a priest or something. Are female kobolds noticeably different, maybe a female then?
Tiamat, doesn't look so hot, but I'm sure she'll be just fine in person. IMHO, she's iconic of D&D and I am glad to see her. | |

| Personally I found the disclaimer the worst part of the preview. We complained because we wanted the quality to go up, not a disclaimer that tells us that we shouldnt expect ours to look like theirs. We already knew they wouldnt look the same. We had a problem because the quality was so lacking. So basically all the disclaimer said was: expect less. Not very heartening, at least to me it isnt.
I like Tiamat, like the flying kobold and even like Meepo. I can imagine the outcries now tho when someone buys a Booster and gets an uncommon huge and Meepo. Oh the humanity heh.. | |

| Sweet preview!
The first Meepo will be fun...but the next few may be vexing. The flying kobold is cool, I just hope the next two, if they are kobolds, are as inventive as these, and just not more rank and file kobold grunts.
And Tiamat! The master paint looks amazing, but if the minis heads are as heartbreaking as those on my chimera, eh, i guess i cant quit minis anyway, but i will be mad! lol | |

| On the whole this preview got me very excited for the new set. I think that the Tiamat looks pretty good and will be nice to have since I plan to run RHoD in the future. How can you not be psyched on a Meepo figure, we just ran through the Sunless Citadel about a month ago and we subbed the kobold miner in for him. The dragon wrought kobold is nice, but I doubt I will ever use it for anything.
As for all the boohooing over too many kobolds, I say nuts to that. Kobolds kick ass!
I am calling a half blue dragon hobgoblin or a blue abishai in this set. | |
