| WotC put up a gallery of art from MMIV and included is a picture of the Wrackspawn...
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mm4_gallery/98734.jpg
but wait, it doesn't very much resemble the chunk of WTF we have all come to know and love (well at least to know). The illustration kinda makes the Wrackspawn actually look interesting. Why couldn't we have gotten THAT as a mini?!

| | Wicked! Now my wrackspawn army might seem semi legit to my PCs. Thats a cool illustration to, tho, I'd rather see a stylized illustration of the mini we have now, as opposed to a mini of this picture. | |

| The miniature looks better.
There were two things that made the Wrackspawn semi-cool
1 - Lack of eyes
2 - The Double-Arm
This lame pic looks like nothing but a naked undead. | |

| | I like it. Much better than the mini. Though I think we would have been much more upset had we seen the cool pick and then got the WTF mini. | |

I agree as this pretty much sums it all up quite nicely. | |

| I find it odd that the picture of the Wrackspawn is poo-pooed in favor of the mini. It blows my mind. The picture is dynamic and gives a sense of emotion behind it that the mini just can't convey (especially as a common).
The picture I saw was 100 times better. Minimum. | |

| | I recently decided to put WTF's on my H/W list, only because I knew it would be coming in the MM IV and that I like outsiders. [:)] This picture is very dynamic compared to the tortured pose of the mini. Also, since the pic is very different from the mini, it lends creedence to the idea that each wrackspawn looks different from another, much like demonic snowflakes. [:D] I think when all is said and done, this is one creature I will possibly like to use for RPG. We'll see soon enough I guess. | |

| I love that the WTF mini is tortured. Hence the term wrack. I like them, not enought to want more than the 8 I have, but they're still cool.
On a side note, does anyone else have soem devious DM plot to turn a PC inside out? No, oh, OK then. | |

| | It's an interesting illustation. However, I'll echo those who prefer the mini. The mini is more of a monstrosity then the image. | |

| | The mini isn't that bad from the waist up, though I much prefer the MM4 pic. I have a small army (70 or so) because we're woefully lacking on decent Demon Commons. Maybe Blood War will fix that, you think? | | | |

| | Nice pic... The mean looking undead on the picture does not have anything to do with the mini we've got! Now I see that they could have designed the mini better. | |
