| Here you are some screenshots from real life DoD minis. I'm not a very skilled photographer, but at least those of you who are curios to see them beforehand should have a glimpse of what they are going to get. Enjoy!

| Thanks for the pics! Lol, it never occured to me that both harpies must've been licking the same wall socket as the succubus!
This is the first photo of a production sahuagin ranger I've seen. It may have a slightly better sculpt than the new one, but boy, the paintjob sucks so bad it ain't even funny! The new one is a startling improvement in that department.
The tiefling and the cultist are very nice, and the copper looks better than it did in the gallery...
And what an ugly seam on that boar... Looks like they chopped its head of and glued it back on! | |

| I'm not too familiar with dreamblade minis, but any thought that we're not getting crap inspired by
and/or leftover from their future planned sets that won't see the light of day go right out the
window with Ridureyu's pic and that horrible looking Angel. | |

I generally feel that pictures such as these do a much better job at illustrating the quality of the paintjobs and sculpts than the official gallery pictures... | |

| | Still seems like the new ghoul is way too large. I thought the Gravetouched Ghoul was too large compared to most of the 'human' type minis. This one looks even larger.
Oh well, as pointed out the paint and sculpt of the new one does look very nice. | |

| This ebayer has put up a bunch of Desert of Desolation pics:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsmithmeg74
For the record, I don't know this ebayer, and this isn't intended as advertising - just thought the pictures might be useful for those who, like me, haven't gotten their DoD minis yet.
The manticore looks way better than it does in the official gallery, and I'm really looking forward to it now... Unfortunately, the sphinx is a bit of a let down - you can see that ugly seam from space. I can now see why so many people have gotten over their initial positive impressions of the flame snake - that black, smooth area in the center of the coils is dumb. On the other hand, the sahuagin has a lovely paintjob. | |
