| I'd love to see 1 uncommon mini with an arquebus. That'd be fun.
Ranged Attack: +10 (10)
Critical 16-20
Gunpowder Weapon: Every time this creature makes a ranged attack, if the attack roll is 1-5 it deals damage to itself instead of the intended target.
Heh. Fun. | |

Eeeep! Don't say such things. It's like encouraging that little sadistic kid down the street torturing the fly. Nothing good can come of that.
Just turn your head, try not to look at it, and move on.
Lasers were first introduced to D&D in 1980 in the love-it or hate-it module S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. So, you never know, we might see them one day. [)] | |

I like the mini (I know, I know, I hate mounted minis....sue me[:D]). The Talenta halfings remind me of the feral halflings from Darksun.
However, here is the "Stupid Question" : If Snig was on a large worg (when a worg should be medium) because he looked silly on a medium one, then why is the halfling riding a large raptor on a medium base when that just looks silly?[)] Come on Shoe - beat some consistancy into your sculpting department!
I hope his stats aren't too great, so I don't feel too bad when I make my 2 or 3 of them illegal for official play by putting them on large bases. | | | |

| | I may find a use for this mini, once a decade or so. Not too excited about it because I don't play Eberron, but I can understand why they included it given the people asking for it. And it's not entirely useless for non-Eberron folks. But if they give us a dragon with a rider before the complete plain old regular dragons, that would make me cry. | |

I echo this. Remember, instead of a large white dragon we were given a zombie. Expect off the wall minis before you get the straight goods. | |

| I like the look of it.
If it's Rare, I'll probably end up keeping most of the ones I get (presuming it's not my "Warduke" or "Skullsplitter"). If it's Uncommon, I'll take four and file the rest for any trading.
Oddly enough, I despise Halflings and have no particular fondness for dinos, but I'm perfectly accepting of this fig for what it is...[?] | |

| | Always nice to see a new Eberron figure coming along. We didn't have halflings on winged dinosaurs (as in Whispers of the Vampire's Blade which came out in Sept., '04) but these mounted halflings will do nicely for adventures set in the Talenta Plains. | |
I have always been here. | |

| | It is actually a halfing I like. I know there isn't a lot of love for the Fiendish T-Rex, but have another Dinosaur is awesome. | |

It would probably be a Clawfoot Dinosaur, detailed in the Eberron Campaign Setting, p279.
Thanks! I'm not an Eberron player myself, and like many I can find a use for a medium dinosaur - I'm just not keen on the rider. (And like the Count I don't really want to "mutilate a rare".) This mini is close to being useful for me - but not quite there [)]. Never mind - new day, new mini. | |

I was totally unenthusiastic when I first heard about this figure, but after seeing it I'm now inclined to disagree with the above statement. While I don't figure that there will be a great variety of uses for such a figure, I do think that it will make for a great halfling druid from a tropical region. I don't play Eberon, and I don't intend to, but this figure will almost certainly find a place in my game. | |
