| Storm Silverhand looks good probable a rare. The Succubus' hair looks strange I guess they are tring to make
her look like she is just landing. I guessing the Succubus is also a rare. The Gnome should be a uncommon. | |

| | That gnome figure looks awesome! The succubus looks good, though the hair looks a bit strange sticking up like that. Storm Silverhand is not too exciting, though I glad to get another alternate female PC type mini. | |

Am I the only one that noticed the cell phone in the gnome's off hand?
...I think it's a dagger viewed point-on.
At any rate, I'm liking a new gnome - I'm kind of take it or leave it when i comes to gnomes, but I conceed that there have been decidedly few of them produced for a main player character race. This guy's gead doesn't seem as large as one would have exected - he looks more like a halfling.
I just think Storm Silverhand is a cool sculpt - hot chicks in tough roles are yummy.

| | Wow! Every little bit I see with this set just impresses me more and more. That succubus is about as good as she could be. The gnome is great. We have waited numerous sets for another gnome and now we get two really strong ones in the same set. I don't know what is in his other hand. Looks like a cell phone to me. What is the story behind the female? Nice piece. Why does she have white hair? | |

Looks like more interesting minis, I'm excited for the set, though to be honest I'm usually excited about most of the new minis/sets that come out.
As far as Storm having white hair, I believe it either has to do with being a Chosen of Mystra (FR deity of Magic) or due to familial inheritance...she has seven sisters (they are all Chosen of Mystra) they all have/had white hair if memory serves. While being a Chosen allows for really old age, I don't think that the hair has anything to do with that.
I'm sure that someone out there knows more about it than I do however....

| The Soldlier of Bytopia looks excellent! And I mean excellent! Its good to see that when we finally do get Gnomes, they are done a bit of justice in terms of sculpt quality and concept. If this mini is a common, it is one of the best looking commons to date.
Storm Silverhand - I like the sculpt, but the pose is less than exciting. Still, it looks nice, and I am glad they made Storm Silverhand. An epic bard with the HP to stay alive (and a good choice of spells to boot) will be nice, and the non-epic version may help revive CG in 200 point play. She is even a respectable melee combatant. I have high hopes for her skirmish capabilities.
Succubus - I'm glad we got a succubus. Really, I am. Core, classic monster and all that. But this sculpt looks wonky to me. Between the gravity defying hair and the almost sloppy look to the wings, it just looks off.

| Wow !!!!!
Gnome is OK.
Storm looks excellent, even better than divine crusader of Corellon. And I never complain when I get new female PCs/NPCs
Succubus rocks !!! At least she's sexy and looks good.
Now that I've seen 23 (?) minis, I think BW is really gonna be an awesome set. Just need to see some more commons.
It's gonna be at least 2 cases (and 3 isn't totally out of question...) | |

| | This set is gonna be the new Archfiends / Underdark... Rocking so far! love the 3 minis, a cool looking gnome is a great change from the goofy lawn-furniture-looking ones we've had so far. I thought the succubus is kinda skinny, she reminds me of manga style japanese schoolgirls, but looks good all the same - any chances she could be Uncommon? And Storm, well, what can I say? It's Storm Silverhand, that's all I can say! Drizzt will love to have her playing along in CG warbands, hehehehehehehe! | |

| Fantastic news!
I think I prefer the other gnome - his pose looks a bit more gnome-like (playful) to me. But getting any gnome at all is excellent - and getting two in a set is superb! 10/10 (just for being a gnome  ).
Storm Silverhand - I don't really care who she is, as the mini is generic enough to be very useful for RPG. That's the sort of unique I can cope with. Great sculpt. 10/10
Succubus - slightly odd sculpt, but still great and a fantastic addition to a set that is shaping up very nicely indeed. Great choice! 10/10
The succubus has very wide wings - could she be the top image on the side of the booster? | |
