Its soo cool that we are getting the Cerebrilith. The psionic demon is so cool and I was worried we'd never get one because of the psionics hate.

I like the way Great Bargesh looks.

The Cerebrilith looks like some demon-like enemy from PSX: Parasite Eve II.

Not so sure about the Large Monochrome Dragon. For once there's a mini with insufficient blackwash. Shocking.

The other two look spiffy

Admittedly, the Large White looks like an over-size Small White in terms of quality, but I'm hoping that is simply in part due to WotC's infamous terrible mini posing for released pictures. I'm kinda holding out on the somewhat false hope that it is far better in-hand. Even if it is just like it seems, I'll admit I still want a few.

Oh well.  It has psionics and it's a demon.  That's two reasons I don't like it and only want one.  It's good that you want some of them.

I'll take lots of all please!! I would never have thought we'd see a Cerebrilith and I love psionics, so i'm wanting several. I'll take as many Barghests and Large Whites as I can get too.

Easily Fixed, allthough I may go for an Icey looking Blue wash on this one.  The Bargest and Cerbelith are pretty bleedin cool too.

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

The barghest has an intimidatingly bestial appearance that I really like. I'm not sure I care too much about about the cerebrilith, though - the leaks showed it to have a huge seam and an unimpressive paint job... The white dragon looks promising, but it's one of those where I'd rather reserve judgment til I'm holding one in my hand.

And for the record, I love demons and psionics.

Really, really liking this set.

While I agree the white is a bit boring of a paintjob, it's still awesome.

No clue what the cerebrilith is, but it will make another good "holy $#!^" monster for my rpg.
Like the barghest, will collect a bunch of them.

I,m not completely sure this set will be so good as underdark or bloodwars.It will have tier 1 pieces for sure,but I think the whole set will not be so good as these two.I like three pieces in the preview and RPG masters will love them for their campaings.In skirmish mode,We will see.It looks like white dragon will be very good.I hope so

Nice images and all. Still, the only figure I want in the pre-release or release tournament is a Large Gold Dragon.

Yeah, but that's because it's practicaly auto-win. The only piece I see being bad for the LGD is Jarl, for his cold damage.

I'm very excited for the cerebrilith. And a new barghest!

They all look pretty good to me. The white dragon does ;look a bit plain but I suppose it is better than the machines over doing the wash and it not looking white anymore. The cerebrilith looks cool know if they do the cool hound creature with the invisible flesh (sorry no book to hand) they will have done most of the coolest psionic monsters... and the blue : )

"Intimidating minis beyond the boarders of their bases.."

I have to be the dork here, but, does anyone proof read this stuff? I'm picturing the greater barghest renting out space on his base, trying to twist the arms of minis who don't rent from him.

Well, if someone accidently uses the wrong spelling a checker might go over it and you might not catch it. I've done it before, not a big deal.


As for the pics, I wonder if the dragon will look less monochrome in hand, or in the actual magazine. I never like scans of magazines so I can wait until seeing it in person before giving final judgement on it.

Awesome pics of the bargasht and cerebrilith... wow... the unfortunate part is now we don't get these two for skirmish preivew probably... exclusive rights and all... i vaguely remember that but then again we've already seen the white so who knows...

I hope the barghast has some of his spells... might make him cost a bit more but he's not a titan hitter to begin with so shouldn't hurt him too much...

Cerebrilith... mmmm... why am I liking CE more and more every set... I'm a LE guy!!! Ohh thats right, they keep getting LE type stuff!!!

Arcane Archer 30, Centaur Hero 67, Human Cleric of Bane 25, Gold Champion 34, Death Knight 52, Goblin Blackblade 9, Silentwolf Goblin 7, Orc Raider 10, Dwarf axefighter 9, Healer 9, Thaskor 65, Aspect of Demogorgon 71, Ogre 9, Fire Giant 79, Human Wanderer 7, Drunken Master 18, Barghest 12, Longstider Barbarian 27, Longtooth Barbarian 22, Frost Giant 76, Ravenous Vampire 42, Large Earth Elemental: priceless

You must have forgotten that the Large Gold will most likely have a 40 fire breath weapon. Jarl taking 80 right off the bat and then a weaken cone trying to hit his AC I don't think he will stand up in limited.

The scan really isn't helping the dragon at all, but that is the problem with it. I'm still betting it's better in hand.

Well technically, intimidating minis beyond the boarders would be intimidating people who don't lease space from them.
