| | My bet is that the lady is a cleric of Sune. We're about due for another FR-specific cleric, I think. The red hair and emphasis on fashion rather than function (gown instead of armor) make me think she's a Sunite - which would be awesome 'cause it'll go great with my FR campaign! | | | |

| Actual info is UP! (Site seems to be having its usual trouble)
Cleric of Sune
Sune is the Forgotten Realms goddess of beauty, love, and passion, and this miniature tries to capture everything a Cleric of Sune would represent. She works nicely as a proxy for a wizard or sorcerer, too. She's a commander in the skirmish game, as her beauty inspires those around her to fight for her, or maybe over her. It seems most humanoids just want to impress her. Her commander effect provides an attack and damage bonus to all humanoids in range, whether those humanoids are allies or enemies. Though she doesn't need to worry much about getting hit by those creatures she's inciting, because her Amazing Beauty ability requires any humanoid to overcome a saving throw in order to hit her with a melee attack. Her use of Turn Undead also helps battle the inevitable undead creatures she'll face in a Limited game.
Halfling Brawler
The short fellow here is the Halfling Brawler. He's ready for a street fight, bringing a pair of hand axes into the fray. While he can double-toss his hand axes, his greatest threat is when he fights creatures larger than him. His dual-wielding style gives him a couple of swings that could do 15 damage each to a Medium or larger creature, which covers all but about a half dozen of the miniatures in the Unhallowed expansion.
Vampire Hunter
Finally, the Vampire Hunter, with a wooden stake loaded into his crossbow. This guy lives by hunting the dead. He's also one of the coolest looking PC-types we've done in plastic. You'll definitely want to consider including him in a warband if you expect to fight undead, because 20 damage against an undead target (or 15 at range) is exceptional for an 18-point mini. If you expect to fight a vampire, you'll want him just for his Wooden Stake ability, which can destroy a vampire outright (it allows a save, of course). If only he brought more than one.
Next week we'll get to our regular schedule, and take a look at some elementary concepts, including this little guy here.

| Nice, all uncommons! Best choice of rarity for all 3.
What will the little guy be? looks like the 3rd tiny miniature for unhallowed already!

Elementary concepts sounds more like the little guy may be some type of basic elemental. I'm thinhing earth for some reason.Â

looks more watery or airy to me, but I agree on the elemental hint, maybe there will be a thoqqua in the set after all.

| I get the feeling it will be an Air Mephit, to go with our Fire one from the other spoiler. Just like when they did the spawns, it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of mephits in one set, to make up for the lack of them in the past 11 sets. I wouldn't complain if they also included that Thoqqua. | |

As much as Id love to see an Air Mephit to go with the fire one..the silohette doesnt have wings.
The yellow color of the dress made me quite sure the Cleric of Sune wasnt undead. Shes a great sorcerer or wizard. Not to contradict the above post but my personal tastes in beauty is very pale skin and red hair...So I think she is a very attractive looking mini | |
