My guess would be some type of dwarf siege engine. That being said I would rather see Bruenor Battlehammer, or battlerager. * crosses fingers for battlerager*

| | So the next one is Dwarf themed and Epic... are not quite huge, that could imply a large; or Shoe could be toying with us again. Well we have enough Dwarven Grunts, I'd like to see some more commander types. Well also a hooded dwarven rogue with a crossbow, but thats a whole other thing. | |

Actually an Aspect of Clangeddin would be one of my top choices, I liked Moradin in War Drums but it was Clan I was really wanting!
Bruenor would make the most likely choice for and Epic Dwarf, but I could see one of the Bouldershoulder or Flint Fireforge making it if we're talking unique pieces.
Possibly a new Dwarven Defender or Deep Defender would fit the mold as well.
Personally I can't wait...can never have too many Dwarves...or Gnoll...or Minotaur! [:D] | |

| | In my opinion, the siege engine is almost certainly silhouette #15, which, with those jagged blades looks quite a bit like the Slaughterstone Eviscerator. The MM3 writeup says that both Slaughterstone creatures were originally built by dwarves to defend their strongholds. And the eviscerator's RPG stats look similar to, but different from, the epic Marut's, so it could also be an epic creature. | |

| Slaughter stone eviscerator and some sort of mounted dwarf (large spider, large mastodon, maybe a flyer or giant goat).
If they can undersize the Purple Worm to Huge, they may have undersized the Mastodon to large with a medium rider (or two dwarves on howdah).
#16 looks like it could be a large (50mm) base lined up against #15.
Shoe said nearly Huge. A mastodon would be suitable for 500 pt.
It would continue the trend of showing us Preview X figs in the weekly preview. My guess #15 and #16 will be Preview 5 and we'll get the rarity and some stats (2 large and almost huge dwarf related 500 pt rated creatures). | |

| I'd almost bet on us seeing the Slaughterstone Eviscerator. Which means we'll probably have one other mini, or two if we are lucky. I'm really hoping for a Unique dwarf in there. Whether its Breunar, Flint, Pwent (the Battlerager), etc.. I'd like to see another Unique Dwarf besides Tordek.
A generic Battlerager would be pretty neat also though. | |

| A mastadon wouldn't be huge, mastadons are 10 feet tall. For a Huge, it'd have to be a mastadon, which are larger.

I think the Eviscerator is a gimme at this point. Some sort of mounted dwarf would be cool, too, IMHO. I think that the mounted elephant mini will be a large (still not convinced it's a mastadon). Which leaves room for a nalfeshnee *fingers crossed* | |

I agree on a dwarven boar rider-would be most excellent.
I disagree on the mounted elephant. There are no large elephants in the monster manuals (they're all Huge). Granted, it could be some new weird thing from MM4...). I'd love a nalfeshneee, though (huge, winged monkeys are the best!).
My guess on Preview #5 is another version of a Large Earth Elemental. It's dwarf-ish. It's not quite huge-ish. It's a mandatory part of all new DDM sets (zenthrus' rule based on Underdark/War Drums evidence) [:D] | |
