I guess we will not have any more pictures from WOTQ set till May, so why don't we speculate on the Huge minis until then? (It's free, isn't it?)
So we have 6 Uncommon and 6 rares. We know the Huge Fiendish Spider is probably Uncommon and that the Aspect of Tiamat is a rare, I guess the Aspect of Bahamut is another rare as well as the Blue Dracolich, so I propose the following ones:

Aboleth - Uncommon
Remorhaz - Uncommon
Athach - Uncommon
Gelatinous Cube - Uncommon
Huge Elemental (Fire) - Uncommon
Nalfeshnee - Rare
Titan - Rare
Eldritch Giant - Rare

I know I will fail most, if not all of them, but who cares? I enjoy this a lot. Time for your opinions...

Not trying to throw salt but the g-cube in 3.5 is a huge.....(just looked on the SRD) [)]

Edit:

There are two different sizes that I am seeing now large and huge. Maybe the site that I am looking at is just messed up. But, it is fairly early in the morning.....and only one cup of java can make for a foggy mind....[|)]

We already have 3 related draconic huge creatures in this set:

It should be enough with them, shouldn't it?

This comes up almost every time somebody mentions the cube, but the Monster Manual 3.5 errata revises the cube back to large size. Where it belongs, in my opinion.

Large...huge...ehh. It is a monster that cleans the dungeons. And, if any of my players are reading this....now you know why the dungeons are clean of dust and debris and you should be scared!!!

None of these are True Dragons (as in standard chromatic or metallic)! One is an aberration (Tiamat), one is some weird Platinum thing (Bahamut) and the other is undead (but extremely cool). I hope the dragon-themed set will at least include one real huge dragon, but I guess and hope two. Would otherwise be harsh on those players who were to late for GoL.

I am hoping for a Huge Black or a Huge Blue...those are the ones I am hoping for. I could see one of those and a huge metallic; silver or brass would be nice as a counter balance....

The Dracolich and the 2 Dragon aspects would be wasted slots IMO if we dont get any real dragons.

My biggest nightmare is getting a Huge Black, Blue, Brass ect dragon and it has a rider. That would suck.

Other than Dragons the 2 biggest requested huges are Aboleths and Bebiliths...So it would be pretty dumb not to get either of those.

As much as no one wants to see a Forest Giant (I assume)...I think we may get one anyway becasue it appears in Red Hand of Doom.

I am open to this choice right now as the only "huge" giants we have thus far are the cloud, formian, and the storm. I am open to having another choice as for playing the RHD I am really not wanting to use any of those choices for the forest giants. I mean I will if I need to. But havin a better choice is always a nice option.

And I totally agree a "dragon rider" would suck. Since it would reduce the use of the figure for the RPG side of things, IMHO.....

A Huge Black Dragon is unlikely, with the Gargantuan Black Dragon on the way. I'm guessing Huge Green or Huge White.

Wayne, good point about the black. In that line of thought I could see the exclusion of a blue since there is a blue dracolich....

I am good with a white and green[:D]

Some replies:

- Dracolich is never a wasted slot IMHO, the two aspects however...

- I wouldn't mind a detachable rider on one of the dragons, though I'd rather see it without.

- Huge blue and black are less plausible than the rest (Lich being Blue and GBD coming up), but he booster side does bode well for the black (think it'll be a large one with rider though).

- Bebilith and Huge Spider in one set? don't think so. Aboleth would be awesome, but WotC appear not to be ready for water creatures though.

With the aboleth making a spot in the RToEE a rather "classic" throwback. I can see the aboleth in this set even though I agree that WotC has a percieved apprehension towards a water theme....

I certainly hope that WotC apprehension towards aquatic themes doesn't stop them from creating the best huge creature that could be made.....The ABOLETH!

As for the rest I would be slightly disappointed if they were not to create at least 1 huge true dragon (Green would be my first choice). I would love a white, but I get nervous as to what it may look like. It seems there is some difficulty in getting creatures which are dominantly white in color to look very good.

Some nice suggestions here - particularly the Aboleth. I'm all in favour of huges that will represent creatures for which we don't already have decent proxies. (So more huge dragons would be OK, but not very helpful RPG-wise, given how few huges we get.)

I'd add the Hydra to the list. And how about a Fiendish Mastodon?

But then again, there is a bit of a problem with the suggestions so far - they're very focused on Monster Manual 1. It would be excellent, but realistically there will be several slots taken up by less generally-RPG-useful creatures and campaign specific (i.e. Eberron) stuff - such as the Carcass Crab.

I'd like to see a White Dragon have the blue undercoat that the Sacred Watcher has. Really white creatures, especially in cold environments, seem to glow with that blue. Take the concept from the Sacred Watcher and up the paint quality about an order of magnitude, and that'd be a very nice Huge White Dragon.

While I also wouldn't mind a Huge Green, I think I'd prefer the Huge White. Aren't they slightly lower on the CR scale?

There isn't any confirmation about Bahamut that I know of... several people here have written him down as if it's fact, link?!

We know that WotC is planning to beef up the skirmish power of Dragons this year. A rider might be an easy way to do this...

Here's my list:

Huge Spider - Uncommon
Cloud Giant Skeleton (or some sort of Huge Undead) - Uncommon
Huge Fire Elemental - Uncommon
Hure Earth Elemental - Uncommon
Remorhaz - Uncommon
Celestial Tryceratops - Uncommon (hey there has to be something I despise right?)
Hydra - Rare
Aspect of Tiamat - Rare
Aspect of Bahamut - Rare (if not this then put the Remorhaz in this slot)
Blue Dracolich - Rare
Huge Green Dragon - Rare
Forest Giant - Rare

Although I see that Black Dragon Rider thing on the side of the booster taking one of these slots, but I don't know what, probably the Hydra with my luck [V]

I'm not interested in an Aboleth, but that's partly pure selfishness ... a couple of years back, I traded a decent Rare or three and a Maxminis member made me an Aboleth out of resin. It looks fantastic. (He also made me a Gelantinous Cube, complete with little bit of bone and refuse within.)

Also, purely from a skirmish perspective ... isn't the Aboleth's land speed something incredibly low ... like 10 feet?

I don't see how you can have Tiamat and no Bahamut in a set called "War of the Dragon Queen." Also, an Aspect of Bahamut would be a decent proxy for a Huge Silver, and it does seem like proxy-usage goes into their selection process, at least somewhat.

I don't actually want an Aspect of Bahamut, so I'll be thrilled to be wrong.

The Aspect of Bahamut came from (I think it was) Shoe answering a question about whether the Huges would all be at the end of the checklist like in GoL or integrated with their alignment. He stated something to the effect that the first mini on the list was a Huge rare. I'll try and dig up a link and if I can find it, I'll post it.

I cant speak for everyone...But I have much love for the Juggernaut.

But unfortunatly we only have 12 precious slots to fill and thats it for the whole year...So we are very focused on the iconic stuff.

And the true dragons and elementals alone are 12 minis...Then there is the Remorhaz, Aboleth, Bebeilith, Nalfeshnee, Retriver and Titan.

And we already know about the Dracolich, Spider and Tiamat taking 3 of those slots....If Bhamut is true that leaves 8 valuable slots...All 8 better be fantastic..and stuff that isnt in the MM may not be a well received.

Personally I really wanna see a Wyst.

I personally think that if theres another Huge Dragon in WODQ then it will be Copper of Brass ie CG

LG already has the Gold Dragon and will get the rumoured Aspect of Bahmut

LE is getting the Blue Dracolich and Aspect of Tiamat (LE didnt get anything in GOL)

CE Got the Huge Red (and will probably get the Huge Fiendish Spider)

CG hasnt got a Dragon yet

Heh, everyone's lists have too many good minis -- have you forgotten GoL's Huge list so quickly? Here are my predictions:

Rares:
Aspect of Bahamut
Aspect of Tiamat
Huge Blue Dracolich
Huge Black Dragon(with or without rider)
Hydra
Forest Giant

Uncommons:
Celestial Triceratops
Giant Crocodile
Huge Monstrous Spider
Huge Earth Elemental
Tendriculos
Yrthak

My ideal set would include an Aboleth, Mountain Troll, or Eldritch/Death Giant, but let's just say I'm not convinced they'll be in there as of yet.

While not real popular are there any other "dinosaur" types that have appeared in recent modules that might be candidates? Or even a huge Monkey like "King Kong"? I know a few scenarios have had huge apes in them as animals.

One option that would excite some would be an Oriental Style Dragon to compliment the chromatic and metallic ones.

Again while it only appeals to a subset, anything else from the Warforged series that would be the soul mate of the Warforged Titan?
(I don't have Eberron stuff so I am in the dark about this whole world setting.)

If we look at the range of critters and there backgrounds found in GoL and use that as a template that might help as well...

I mean, until GoL came out, how many would have been looking for the Nightstalker as a Huge Mini?? Giants and Dragons, sure, maybe even the T-Rex was on some wish lists (although from RPG it was always easy to get toy dinosaurs for use in games...) For me the nicest surprise was the Behir.

Not when they cast fly or airwalk on themselves. Lots of aboleths are clerics, wizards or psions, and the sample aboleth mage in the MM has fly memorized. Besides, 2 isnt much lower than the beholder's 3, and that unit is considered competitive.

I'd really rather have an aboleth than lots of other figures, including any metallic dragons or the aspect of bahumut, which are pretty low use for RPG. I'd much rather see a huge white dragon wearing a helm of opposite alignment than something that would sit in a box with my huge gold. Is the aspect of bahumut confirmed?

I think the remorhaz would likely be too complex to do as a good looking uncommon, due to their many legs and all. It would be a very nice one.

A titan would be cool, just so long as it doesnt look like some chump in a toga. Give him some armor and a weapon. Definately not worthy of a rare slot.

My shots in the dark

R1) Aspect of Tiamat - known (CE?)
R2) Huge Blue Dracolich - known (LE)
R3) Eight Headed Hydra (CG)
R4) Aspect of Bahumut (LG)
R5) Nycaloth (LE/CE)
R6) Huge White Dragon (CE)
U1) Fiendish Huge Spider (CE)
U2) Eldritch Giant
U3) Titan (CG)
U4) Tendriculous (any)
U5) Aboleth (LE)
U6) Caller in the Darkness


I think the set needs to really wow people to get em to plunk down 20 bucks a pack. If you paid retail for giants you were basically being suckered, since at the time of release, you could buy the 2 chase rares for a few dollars more than a pack on ebay (I got my huge gold for 23 and my huge red for 25), and not have to worry about getting any 1.99 crap uncommons. I wont be touching any packs except for the pre-release unless the prices of a full set are through the roof.

Completed trades: Zarnof, Salmander, Pigsnot, qillan_dvra, SilgentG, Ironfist Boulderbender, robdaman.
