Just like turt, I also have an advent mini calendar.  So as not to clog up his thread, I have started my own.

And the goodies so far?

Day 1: Naga - A Rare to begin with was nice.  Even nicer was the fact that it was one I wanted but did not have.

Day 2: Visejaw Crocodile - I already got one in my first 9 boosters and I was happy to get a second one.  I really like the look of this mini, even if it is hanging off its base an awful lot!

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Day 3: Shadar-Kai Assassin - It's not the best Uncommon of the set but one of the players in my D&D game is playing a spiked-chain wielding PC so this might be a better mini for him to use than the half-orc Rask he is using at the moment.  I might try giving his skin a paint though so he doesn't look so gothic.  That guy needs to get some sun!

Hi Olaf,


LOL!  I totally agree.  What is it with the pale complexion?  This mini could use a repaint.

Later,

The only thing I though of is that Shadar-Kai are some sort of pale race.  I think they are from Eberron and I don't own any of the Eberron books so I don't know for sure.  If that isn't the case then he just has a really bad paint job.  Either way, I'm going to be repainting him to use in my game.

Hi Olaf,

 

It has to be Eberron.  I don't have any of the books either, so I don't know.  Leave it to Eberron to have a race of pasty white guys. :)

 

Later,

Mazra

Sure!  It was funny to see that we both started our calendar with a Rare.  I don't know if yours was intended but I'm almost certain that mine was pure luck.  Considering my wife referred to the Naga as a "funny-looking snake-man thing", I doubt that she knew that there were different levels of rarity when she was putting the minis into their pockets! :)

Day 8:  Black Woods Dryad - An ok Common.  I still think of Dryads as being attractive, which this sculpt certainly isn't.  Even still, I've seen worse minis before.

Day 13: Rot Scarab Swarm - Another Common.  I'm after 16 of these so I have enough for 4 Swarms so the more the merrier.

 

I am getting a little antsy for another Rare though.  I was lucky enough to get one on Day 1.  Since then though nothing but Commons and Uncommons.  There's 2 in there somewhere still!

As far as I know my wife put them all in randomly.  I don't even think that the 3 boosters' contents stayed separated from each other so I could get 2 Rares in the next 2 days or even 2 Rares on the 23rd and 24th.

Day 15: Dwarf Maulfighter - An Uncommon.  It's an ok Uncommon.  The pose is good.  Looking at it closely though it doesn't have a whole lot of detail in it.  Even if I did repaint it, there still isn't a lot of things to repaint on it.

 

9 Days to go and still 2 Rares remain.

Oh well, I add it to my trade list and see if anyone else is interested in it.

Day 18: Drow Blademaster - Another Common.  I can always use more Drow and this one is a good companion for the female Common in the Underdark set.

 

Only 6 days to go now.  There's one Rare left but I can't be bothered figuring out what the rest are (commons vs. uncommons).  It'll be more fun finding out when I pull them out instead.

Only 4 days left now!
