OK, found it myself... here's the text


This set has personality. Or personalities. Three, in particular, were culled directly from the popular campaign settings of Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and Eberron. This week we'll look at the first inclusion of a Hero of the Lance, examine the wielder of the legendary hammer Aegis-Fang, and figure out just what an undead half-dragon elf might look like.

Raistlin Majere
First up is everyone's favorite red-robed wizard, the golden-skinned twin of Caramon. You'll have to excuse us for not painting hourglass eyes, but I think this mini successfully captures the look of the future Master of Past and Present as depicted on the cover of the first printing of Dragons of Spring Dawning, the third of the excellent Dragonlance Chronicles series. His crimson robes represent the color of the red moon Lunitari, the goddess and source of Neutral magic, and mark his status as a Neutral wizard. He bears the Staff of Magius, given to him at the completion of his wizardly Test by Par Salian.

Though the character of Raistlin might not be considered altogether Good-aligned, we pegged this version of Raistlin as both LG and CG. This allows him to work well with heroes that he'd typically be associated with but keeps a bit of his Neutral flavor. We also created two new abilities for Raistlin that help capture the character from the pages of the Chronicles -- Debilitating Magic and Devoted Companions. Raistlin always seemed to get weak after casting spells, so Debilitating Magic lets us show you how he might be getting more out of his magic at the cost of his physical self. Whenever he casts a spell, he can take 5 damage to gain +5 damage with that spell or increase that spell's DC by 4. It works pretty well with his hold person and magic missile spells (and his magic missiles ignore pesky incorporeal creatures, too). Devoted Companion, emulating the ever-present Caramon, lets Raistlin's player choose any adjacent Unique ally as the target of an attack targeting him, because that's just the kind of team player Raist has always been. Perfect Targeting becomes icing on the red-robed cake. Black-robed Raistlin, on the other hand …

Wulfgar
This brawny barbarian first appeared in Streams of Silver, the first Forgotten Realms novel written by R.A. Salvatore (not the first Forgotten Realms novel -- that honor belongs to Douglas Niles' Darkwalker on Moonshae, which was also the first TSR Inc-published novel I ever read). Wulfgar accompanied Drizzt Do'Urden through many trials, going places no man was meant to go. He wields the mighty hammer Aegis-Fang, the greatest work created by the dwarf Bruenor Battlehammer (King of Mithral Hall and essentially Wulfgar's adoptive father).

Wulfgar is a commander for the CG faction, though he's Willing to Follow Heroes (unique commanders). That allows him to benefit from commander effects of creatures such as Drizzt. He gives a bit of a boost to his allies, giving non-Fearless followers a free attack if they pass a morale save. He's a reasonable melee threat in his own right -- for 54 points, a CG warband gets a couple of solid attacks for 25 magic damage, or he can throw his warhammer up to 12 squares once each round. Remember that scene where Wulfgar throws his hammer through a bunch of ale kegs? Well, that's where Bite of Aegis Fang comes into play, letting him throw his hammer and hit everyone in a line. He's fast and durable, though those furs don't provide much protection.

Lady Vol
The progeny of a green dragon and an elf noble of the dragonmarked House of Vol, Erandis d'Vol was a half dragon, and as such was the lightning rod for strife between the House of Vol and the previously warring factions of Aerenal Elves and dragons. Protected by the magic of her House and family, Erandis was protected from death during the scourge of the House, but that protection didn't keep her alive. Instead, she became a lich. For millennia, Lady Vol has plotted and schemed, and now is one of the strongest entities in all of Eberron, as her covert network of agents, spies, and minions rivals any organization in the world.

With no stats yet in the roleplaying game, we were free to come up with our own interpretation of the Lich Queen. This half-dragon lich sorceress could be quite a foe for any near-Epic level party, though as a mini she's more of a threat to about half a 200-point warband. She has a few game mechanics that are interesting to see in play. In addition to the dragon-themed acid breath cone and her Aura of Fear 3, Vol has a couple of spells that will see some use -- forcewave (cone; 10 damage and push creatures 3 squares) and oppressive will (swift; adjacent creatures skip their next turn). She also has a commander effect that gives all followers Death Burst. Plus, she's the first mini with Undead, Dragon, and Elf as types.

In addition to their inclusion in Night Below, you'll see alternate paint versions of two of these rare miniatures later this year, if you are in the right place at the right time.

For next week, I'll give you two options -- you can either see how many legs I can put into a preview, or you can see something suitably draconic. So which is it, legs or dragons?

Well I think we can safely ID a couple of the Silohetes

The one under Rastalin is almost certainly the Babau seen at that convention earlier in the year

The one below and to the left of lady Vol Im pretty sure is a Gold dragon

The one below and to the left of Wulfgar is probably another Half Dragon

Im thinking the mini to the right of Rastalin is the half Blue Dragon Hobgoblin from Red hand of Doom

I give it a big bluh. Raistlin we already knew, I'll be getting Wulfgar"Valenar-Face" in the icon pack and Lady Vol looks nifty, and I may find a use for her, but I won't be disappointed if I don't get one.

I am a bit disappointed about Wulfgar for two reasons: He'll be in the upcoming Icons-set and I don't like the look of Aegis-Fang. Come on, WoTC: This is a legendary weapon. I expected a great detailled sculpt with a little paint like the Battleplate Marshal's axe.

Moreover, I was hoping soooooooo much for Bruenor Battlehammer (in a pose like this http://images.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://www.temp.sfbok.se/kat/img/51153.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.sfbok.se/asp/artikel2.asp%3FVolumeID%3D51153&h=440&w=290&sz=31&hl=de&start=3&tbnid=r48-dZOA3DXdTM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=84&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstreams%2Bof%2Bsilver%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dde )

Maybe in next set after Night Below....

However, I like two unique minis for more options to run with Drizzt. :-)

Con exclusive Raistlin sucks. For those of us who can't attend the Con, the $60-100 this thing'll fetch on the secondary market(that doesn't exist BTW) is out of reality as well. Please, enough with the exclusive rares. Commons and Uncommons I don't mind, but to take a figure that most people collecting these minis wants and limit it's availability is just wrong. I also fail to see how it could possibly be justifiably fair to feel obligated to put Wulfgar in a set so people won't be required to plunk down the cash for him in the Icon pack if they don't want the Gargantuan White and then do something like this, which essentially forces the same issue.

Perhaps the Wulfgar will be painted......

Cos releasing minis only in a stand-alone product, not part of a set, is a terrible idea that DDM should never embrace.

I wouln't be surprised if there are details on Aegis-Fang that we are not seeing in the pic. They've done good detailing before so maybe there will be the dwarven symbols on it as well.

Streams of Silver my ass. Wulfgar and Drizz't defeated Ingelokastimizilian in The Crystal Shard. Streams of Silver is Book 2 of the Icewind Dale Trilogy, it didn't come out before The Crystal Shard (book 1) did it?

EDIT: That said, all three figures are pretty cool imo. As long as I only get one of each of course.

I like Raistlin and Wulfgar. Definitely want one of each.

Lady Vol just looks silly. The sculpt is very detailed, which is nice and all, but her proportions are funky, and what is that thing on her head? Is it an overly ornamental hat? Not interested in her at all.

Not pleased with the preview. bad sign seeing 3 low value rares in preview two. Means the ratio of worth having and worthless is going to be deathknellish or aberrationish.

Hmm, I tend to agree with Greyhaze and Sulaco for this guessing game.
Top right looks like some basic guard with a halberd or the like. Might be a good common.
Top, second one : what giant don't we have yet ?
Third row, right : this mini looks very large. I really wonder what it can be.

Hmm, much as I'd like to agree with you, I'd say the dimensions are all off- something that far off a large base ain't fittin' into one of those skinny boxes.  I'd put my money on a small gold dragon.

Needless to say, I'll be happy to be proved wrong.

And BTW, for the minis :
Wulfgar : cool. Nothing special, but cool.
Raistlin : cool. I don't use dragonlance, but it's still a cool wizard mini and it will see use in my games.
Vol : cool. I wonder what I could do of a dressed-up succubus-lich, but i'll HAVE to find something.
To sum it up, preview 2 is ... cool. But I won't need more than one of each of these minis. Right now I must say I'm more interested by some mysterious shapes than what we've already got (except for the white, that is more than cool).
But bring some C and UC now !!!!!!!

I'll try to make you happy : BW pit fiend did fit in...

I say : large gold, or large brass dragon.
The mini base is definitely large.

"In addition to their inclusion in Night Below, you'll see alternate paint versions of two of these rare miniatures later this year, if you are in the right place at the right time."

They are all rares. I'm just hoping that Raistlin, Wulfgar, and ultimately Drizzt are of the correct scale.

Oh how I hate Eberron.  We get three unique figures from three different settings and as usual;

Raistlin from the Dragonlance setting can be used as any mage PC or NPC.

Wulfgar from the Forgetten Realms setting can be used as any barbarian type.

Lady Vol from the Eberron setting can be used as absolutely nothing else.

Our first mini of the set that is completely worthless to me and of course it is from Eberron.

On a more positive note, we have seen Raistlin, but he looks pretty darn good.  Wulfgar looks good and we needed more barbarians.   Is that the same Wulfgar that will be in the Icing Death set?

or he can throw his warhammer up to 12 squares once each round. Remember that scene where Wulfgar throws his hammer through a bunch of ale kegs? Well, that's where Bite of Aegis Fang comes into play, letting him throw his hammer and hit everyone in a line.


So you guys don't think a line 12 attack every round will be cool?? I think that sounds pretty awesome, for purposes of Skirmish anyway.
