| My favorite mini lookswise so far has to be the Marut. It just looks powerful. Although I'll have to see them in hand first but the Drcolich and the Large Green are probably gonna replace him for me.
Out of curiosity what is every one elses favorite mini, in production or coming up in WOTDQ? | |

A short list because there are a very large number that are very nice...these are just my personal favorites [:D]
As an aside...I'm just not a fan of the big, metal can-opener...a.k.a. Marut (excellent for skirmish, though). | |

Lord Soth and Large Frost Giant are also amazing because of the detail on their chainmail armor.
And Sahuagin Ranger does kickass. Just not as much as Soth or the Eye. | |

| | How odd but favourable! My favourite mini look-wise is my favourite monster and my favourite mini to use! The Black Dragon! I highly doubt any future minis will replace it but I could be wrong. My favourite mini purely out of what has yet to come is the Mountain Troll. The original Monster Manual III artwork is pretty darn good and all but I think that maybe WotC realized right away that they couldn't possibly get all of that intricate detail into a mini so they decided to make a completely different style. I like the new style only a smidgen more than the original artwork and apparently it has warband skirmish stats that are approximately one and a half times better than the Fomorian when you take everything into account. I can't remember the WotC link to their preview of it but I'm sure that most of you know what I'm talking about. I hope to get at least two of those suckers, at least! | |
