| | No uncommon Giants, no Umberhulk at all, the Owlbear is a rare. Rather disappointing. We now have 3 times as many Centaurs as people mounted on horses. Clearly I'm missing something.  Oh well, at least the masses are happy. | |

| | I've tried to estimate what the distribution of figures might be amonst the slots, but without the stats, it is a blind guessing game. We'll have to see the stats before I can guestimate the slots in a given rarity. | |

3 Centaurs. 3 People mounted on 'horses' (Mounted Paladin, Blackguard on Nightmare, Valenar Nomad Charger). 3 is not 3 X 3. Besides, Centaurs are listed as appearing in groups of up to 166. I'd love to get a common centaur...

I'm not counting the Nightmare, it's not a horse.  I was unaware of the newest mounted mini as I don't follow previews much. The Nightmare sorta works, just as the Centaurs sorta work for mounted minis. Including the Nightmare, there are as many Dino riders as Horse mounted figs. in sets already released. I just find this odd.
Â
My opinions are commonly out of line with the rest of the boards. Much like they are in RL.Â
Edit: to be clear I'm not dissapointed with the set, it seems very good. Just with some choices. I know WotC reads these boards and I want to be heard.  I didn't mean to come across as overly negative. I like all the sets.Â
This is a recent post of mine for those who don't read all the threads.
I came off a bit more negative than I intended to. I also hadn't realized there was a mounted mini in this set. For the most part my argument in that regard still holds. I was also using centaurs as mounted creatures. It's gotta be tough on R&D with so many opinions varying so widely. FWIW DDM are sorta like the band Rush to me, I don't hate any of it, but there are certain things I like a lot more than others. YMMV.  | |

Huh?
talenta halfling = 1 dino rider (ok, 1 too much!)
counting nightmare = 3 horse riders (ok, still too few)
Sorry for not getting the above statement,

I don't own one yet, but the Clawfoot rider looks like a dino rider. I'm also counting the Mounted Drow Patrol, although technically it's a lizard. But if we're counting the Nightmare as a horse the MDP is definitely a dino. I also stated minis that've been released. The Valenar Nomad Charger has yet to be released.   | |

| | Regardless... I agree that humanoids on equine(ish) creatures should outnumber humanoids on reptiles by a good number... | |

Even among all the unknown minis...I can only see maybe 1 or 2 duds...Everything is AWSOME!!!
Especially Hammerer, Howler, and Green Slaad
I cant really picture an Owlbear mini looking better than the awsome one in Harbinger..Cant wait to see how it turned out.
Yes, the Harbinger one is nicer. The only one better is the Chainmail version. | |
