The other one looks interesting and can be dealt as an regular-sized uncommon.
Dude you've had you PCs fight freakish Half-Dragon/Half-Giants I'm sure you can find a place for a wacky creature like that.

| Ok now my turn, I don't want too crap on the set cause its way too early.We haven't seen enough. But a uncommon huge Blue-spawn godslayer is not really needed in my books. Yes I will be playing RHOD later this year but really a mini that isn't a classic and yet only use once, No need too take a huge spot and better yet no need for more then one. I dislike this idea
As for the Black-spawn, well not so upsetting it can pass as a half-black figure cause its not huge. Might need a few of theses.
But the Blue has me shaking my head ...I'm going too be stuck with theses and nobodies is going too want them just like the Nightwalker.
Hope they are in great in DDM cause they aren't for RPG.
This set has me nervous .... but then again this isn't the first set for me too say this. | |

I'm thinking meh to both. IMO, the blue is too big and the black is too scrawny. I would have been more receptive (in fact happy) if they had released all five of them as hulking large rares (picture the same size, if not body shape, as the half-fiend ogre). I'm kind of disapointed that so far our previews show that we aren't filling the huge slots starting with MM1 creatures (but it looks like MM4 is getting some loving!). | | | |

| So ... it's a ginormous dragon cross-breed. That alone I think could work its way into a game. Call it a Dragonspan, or an advanced abashai, huge half-dragon, draconic something else. RPG-wise those are all pretty much the same. Frankly, I'm hoping the musculature on the thing (once it is in our hands) make it look all mean, beefy and intimidating.
Skirmish-wise, I'm wondering if we're not getting some overload. If that dracolich is blue (booster art w/ the lightning and I think it's got the horn) we're talking two huge (if it's huge) blue things. I mean, I'm all about the dracolich ... but maybe this is blue overload?
Yet still Skirmish-wise this thing has potential. Outsider- and dragon-foe would be pretty useful in epic. Would love to see the full stats. | |

| | As a large rare, I would have wanted two of the blue spawn. But as a huge, I'm only going to keep one - and that's only because I'm a completist. It was annoying to get too many Nightwalkers back in GoL, but I was happy to have two. This is a total waste of a huge slot and a big disappointment which will just get worse when I pull the first one from a booster. | |

| Well once again I still can't really see the pics, but I can t least comment on the concept.
Dragonspawns.
Personally I have no problem with new monsters. There is no 'classic' set to me. I just started this whole D&D thing about 2 years ago so it's all completely new to me. So if this is where the line goes from here, then bring it on (albeit with a little reservations)
That being said, if these Dragonspawnamajigs end up taking the place of what could have been Draconians, Half Dragons, and much more needed Huge slots...we'll Ill be here to hand out the pitchforks and torches to you guys [)][:P]
Huge Uncommon Dragonspawn.
I did want to remention to you guys. We are only getting 6 boosters per case now. For those of you who buy cases, you will probably only get one or two of this guy tops. So don't worry about having a hoarde of these things that you can't get rid of. There will still be collectors who only get one case who may not get this guy in it.

| Yeah, I think both of them have skirmish potential, especially considering the recent trend they have had of making competitive uncommon skirmish pieces.
Personally, I like the preview. I think this set looks like its going to be pretty cool, and I have all sorts of uses for both monsters. | |

Okay, I may be one of the greatest dragon addicts here at maxminis (Okay, I might be *the* greatest -- I'm certainly the most vocal), but I don't think a huge set needed all 5 spawn of Tiamat. Yes, that's right, even I think this is "racial" (or thematic) overkill.
Honestly, this is little better than getting 6 drow or 5 dwarves or 4 warforged in a set. Yes, they cover all 5 chromatic types, but all in one set? Why? Two Draconians were released WAY back in Dragoneye, and we have seen NOTHING of the missing three (much less the noble Draconians).
I will certainly collect many of both, but I really would have rather seen more true dragons or smaller dragon kin in the more expensive slots of a huge set.
This is my opinion too. I fear we won't see a draconian at all, while, I would have loved more of them and thought that they fitted the team. Draconians have more of a history to me then the dragonspawn. I would have tolerated one spawn or maybe two, not five.
Plus, on top of that (more for the black dragonspawn), I'm no lover of the human body and let's now place a dragon/animal/whatever head on it. I'm not sure how to explain, look at the everquest 2 animal-people, look at the WOW tauren. The first suffer from the human body - put head of something else on it, the second have a more likely 'anatomy' feeling. Standing on two, but yet an animalistic body. I always get the feeling that people that draw/sculpt the first, don't have a grasp of animal anatomy and then just put an animal/dragon/whatever head on a human body.
Nuf said.. I'm drawing animals since I could hold a pencil.. so I tend to nitpick. | |

No! Two years is close enough for these crappy things. Huge sets suck from a number of angles!
1. Distribution is whacked, although I'm curious as to how this format will work. Maybe...
2. Storage is a pain, especially for the "crap" huges.
3. Trading is weird and overseas trades get a shipping bump.
Plus the reasons others have stated in these threads. | |

| I am indifferent about this preview. On one hand it is good (like eating chocolate) on the other hand it is not that good (like not eating chocolate) [:D]
On the issue of a strange monster taking up the Huge slot. Not that big of a deal to me; looking at the bigger picture. If the entire set's huge slots were taken up with every "classic" monster. What minis would be left to look forward to and champion the cause of and for? Maybe this is all sorts of 'polyanna' type of outlook but it is the way I am looking at it...[)]

| Well , every set has at least one preview that is a complete stinker. We got WotDQ's stinker preview out of the way in a hurry. The good news is that I am gauranteed to get fewer of those ugly blue monstrosities then the stinkers from GOL - the fiendish t-rex and the nightwalker. It took me forever to get rid of everyone of those horrible things. In three cases I am likely to get two of those things. I wonder how fast I can get rid of both?
Well GOL had two horrible huge figures, plus a huge rarity scheme that was much worse and it is still one of my favorite sets. | |

| Not really what I was hoping to see, but I don't hate the two previewed minis either. The huge uncommons (and regular uncommons) are slightly "less common" than in GoL, so I'm not likely to get an objectionable number of either of these.
Wait a second though. That 90-point damage potential on the Godslayer is because of dragon slayer, outsider slayer and 5 points of electricity. Now the only creatures that are likely to be both dragons and outsiders are the aspects of Tiamat and Bahamut. Tiamat's probably going to be resistant to electricity, so the only possible creature this thing can hit for 90 damage a round is the Aspect of Bahamut.
The Draconic Aspects had better be powerful skirmish pieces if they had to make an LE piece just to fight them. | |

| All in all, not a bad preview. I'm impressed with the look of the minis and the detail. Huge UC for LE is not bad for the Epic guys so I thin it is a good preview.
We have seen both of these pieces before, if you were at WinterFantasy that is, so I would like to see more especially the preview X for today. | |

| Wow, what a spectacularly bad preview.
After the joke that was The Great Nightwalker Plague, and all the feedback that WotC must have got from that, I was hoping the Purple Worm heralded a new age of sensible, useful, and downright nifty Huge selections. How wrong I was...
The Bluespawn thingy is just a sheer waste of a huge slot. Tolerant RPGers may want one as a half-dragon cloud giant or something (if they can get past the silly shield and weapon, but skirmishers will probably only need one, and yet the thing's an uncommon? Bah.
And the blackspawn isn't much chop either. Even if you will use it, the sculpt's iffy in my book. It just looks like a scale-covered human wearing a silly mask. Would it have been too hard to give it reptilian feet, or a tail or something?
A big F for this weeks, preview, alas... | |

| I'd have preferred a Large mini that I could use in my 200 pt play but I can still deal with a Huge LE mini.
As to the funky shield...obviously this is why he needs the high DR, so he doesn't get hurt poking himself with his shield. Also remember that magic damage cuts through DR 10 or DR 15 just as easily as DR 5. | |

| Well this reinforces my thoughts from yeterday... I'm still planning to get 3-4 cases, but I may start to throttle back after this set. I think both figures are fine, but I just don't see them showing up in my RPG. I've incorporated Draconians into my campaign, that's more than enough funky draconic Humanoids for Greyhawk.
Still, I think they look pretty good, and I too have a feeling that their skirmish stats will be solid.

| Just for the record, the Bluespawn Godslayer is not in RHoD... it is the Bluespawn Thunderlizard that is in that book. I suppose each of the chromatics have several spawn options. Chalk me down as one who would have prefered the Large Bluespawn Thunderlizard over the Huge Bluespawn Godslayer. At least the Uncommon Huges won't be as common in this set (2:1 ratio, or 2 in 3 packs) as they were in GoL (3:1 ratio, or 3 in every 4 packs). At 6 cases+, I am really afraid of how many Godslayers I'll get. In fact, I will probably be cheering everytime I get the Huge Spider, not just because its cool, but because it won't be another Godslayer. Don't get me wrong... I kinda like the figure (alot more than I liked the Nightwalker), but I just don't see much use for as many as I will probably get...

I'm not a big fan of the Huge Bluespawn (or the Blackspawn, to be honest), especially as an uncommon (reminds me A LOT of the Nightwalker) ... lets hope its sub-200 points so that perhaps you can fit 2 or more in an epic band, perhaps it becomes LE's Formorian, rather than its Nightwalker. But, keep something in mind .... one gets your ten that Shoe & Co. didn't plan to preview the Godslayer, at least not so soon (or at all - anyone remember if the Nightwanker was previewed?).
I'd bet a fair chunk that they had something else planned this week, but since they are making the best of the leaks (and doing a good job, I have to admit), they probably decided to get the 'meh' mini previewed and out of the way early, and figure that the next two months worth of previews will jazz everyone back up again.

| I don't post often but this all has me disappointed. I do like the huge sets and look forward to them, but... Why all these off the wall new creatures? There are so many different sizes of dragons from the original game. These are much more useful to RPG players than this other stuff. There have been only a small number of huges (one set) thus far and I can't help but feel disappointed by the lack of Chromatic huge dragons that I would use all the time.
In my opinion I would rather see more iconic creatures created in these huge slots, and not new creatures. Granted some day they may become more common place in the game, but there are already proven old school monsters I would rather see.
Maybe it's just me, but it's my opinion for what it is worth.
Oh and I am highly addicted to these plastic things, so I'll buy a crapload anyway. Now that I think about it maybe they know that! | |
