|  ÂI’ve been getting some singles from the new Dungeons of Dread set and it looks like the dire wolf is the chase uncommon. I was thinking that the hook horror would have been the chase uncommon. I’m a RPGer and I have 1 Dire Wolf from GoL and 6 of the Vampire Dire Wolfs from Unhallowed. The new Dire Wolf is not really needed for me. I might get one just for the new pose. Does anybody know if there is any size creep with the new Dire Wolf to the older ones? | |

| I'd say Dwarf Warlord is the chase one for skirmish, maybe also bulette. For RPG I think it's bulette, hook horror and wolf.
¨
I don't have the new wolf, so I don't know about any creeps. | |

| I don't know, they already have a lot of wolves (both of the dire and non-dire variety)
I agree, the hook horror is a big one, and the dwarf warlord for skirmish. Honestly, I don't see a "chase" ione yet, not like the stirge, or greycloak ranger, to use past examples.

| | Nothing really chase for me, but the only one I want a bunch of (besides the Bugbear obviously0 is the Shade Knight. I think the Hook Horror would've been more of a chaser if it hadn't looked so goofy.....As it is, it just made me buckle down and try harder to pick up a few more Aberrations ones. | |

| | Yeah, have to agree, the Shade Knight and Bugbear were the "chasers" for me. Although a ton of bugbears holding severed heads is gonna look stupid. May have to saw off a bunch. I'll add in the Warrior Wight, not the best looking fig, but I like the warrior undeadness it brings to the game. | |

| | If the hook horror didn't look like 'an ice skating beetle from the Underdark' (a friends words), I would say that and the dire wolf. I much prefer the Vampire Dire Wolf, so I guess the chase uncommon for me is the howling hag or drow wand mage. | |

| ith, I can just imagine a game of yours with Executioners ebing very prominent
"Okay, everyone got your characters? Good. John, your character is beheaded. Next round. Sally, Bill, you're charactres are beheaded. Next round. Tim, Frank, Dave, you're characters are all beheaded. Bill, you're character is beheaded. Again. Okay, everyone, got your new characters? good, they're beheaded. "
It's a Play on a Dork Tower comic. Bonus points if anyone can find it.

| I don't really see any of them being chase rares. The Drow Wand Mage is a really nice mini though. It's really detailed and looks better than a lot of rares. I might've said it would be a chase if we didn't already have a ton of Drow. Maybe it'll be a chase for new collectors. The Howling Hag is pretty nice also.

Back to the topic. While a couple of the large uncommons mentioned above are desirable in numbers, none will reach the status of the GoL Dire Rats or the WotDQ Stirges. | |

| I cant really speak for skirmish since I dont play...
But for RPG the Dire Wolf isnt really chase because its the 3rd time it was sculpted. The Bugbear is cool but with the severed head I dont need many. The Dwarf Warlord is cool but do you need more than 1 for RPG? He is obviosly a leader among dwarves.
Id say the chase uncommons are the Howling Hag, Shade Knight, Warrior Wight and Drow Wand Mage. | |

| Large sized Bulette is very useful for 4E per what they already said.
An uncommon hag is exceptionaly useful for RPG and is a great fig for skirmish.
shadow Demon can proxy for a lot of different things in RPG
Shade Knight is cool looking and can proxy for a lot of stuff as well.
For me the howling hag is probably the most useful over all combined with looking good and being in demand. It's my chase uncommon pick | |

| I'm done buying cases with this set. I basically got all the rares I needed in 1 case, a bundle of boosters, and a few on ebay.Â
I have plenty of extra Shadow Demons, Bulette, Drow Spiderguard, Hook Horror, and will post for trade sometime soon.Â
My chase Uncommons are the Howling Hag and Dire Wolf.Â

| I guess, if ti wasn't for all those previous large (dire/winter) wolves, it would've been a chase uncommon.
I can imagine that people want a lot of the Hook Horrors as well, it looks great. Just not for me, because I got four from Aberrations which I still prefer (they match quite good though).

| I have to say, I love the Bulette and there is no amount of them that I would consider to be "too many."
That said, I'm glad I got two in my case (and hope to get two more the next time I get a case), but I shan't go buying singles of it. | |
