| Now that most of us have seen the poster scans from WOTDQ, I am interested in seeing what everybody likes the most. Here are mine as an example:
Favorite Common: Assimar Fighter - I really like the armor the most on this piece. He would make a great fighter for any race actually
Favorite Non-Huge Uncommon: Greenspawn Fazorfiend - Looks like it could be pretty much whatever you want it to be, Green dragon, dinosaur, or dragonspawn if you want to be boring. I also really like the metallic highlights on it.
Favorite Non-Huge Rare: Large Green Dragon - This is the best looking mini ever IMO, I will own atleast three
Favorite Huge-Uncommon: Bluespawn Godslayer - I don't care what anyone says, I actually like this thing. I love the look of it. If he was anyother color than blue I might not though
Favorite Huge-Rare: My favorite mini from any set, easily. Or until they make a live huge blue dragon. I just hope he has bad-ass spells.
Least Favorite Mini: Blackspawn Exterminator - Just ugly, might lop off the head to make a half dragon of some sort though.

To each his own on Barney I guess. The tavern brawler lost by a slim margin (he is super bad ass). The reason the fighter won is because like 75% of my characters are fighters. | |

| Favorite Common: Cloudreaver. It's a pirate. It's common. It has a great sculpt and a pretty good paintjob. What's not to like?
Favorite Uncommon: Yuan-Ti Halfblood Sorcerer. I love the sculpt, and new yuan-ti minis are always welcome. The runner up was Poison Dusk Lizardfolk, but I'll use the yuan-ti a whole lot more.
Favorite Huge Uncommon: Purple Worm. This was the toughest choice, as I really like all the huge uncommons except for Barney. But the worm wins for iconic status, usability, proxibility, and an interesting sculpt.
Favorite Rare: Large Green Dragon. This is THE mini of the set, if you ask me.
Favorite Huge Rare: Dracolich. It's beautiful in all its undead skeleton glory.

| Favorite Common: Tavern Brawler - He's a better commoner than the commoner is, can stand in as a merchant, a drunk or a tavern keep, plus he's got a beer belly. Cloudreaver is 2nd.
Favorite Non-Huge Uncommon: Warden of the Wood. She's hot and will make an awesome druid PC. Poison Dusk Lizardfolk/Yuan-ti Sorcerer are 2nd/3rd.
Favorite Non-Huge Rare: Blackguard on Nightmare. Groovy. War Weaver and Large Green Dragon are 2nd/3rd.
Favorite Huge-Uncommon: Purple Worm. Fire Elemental is 2nd.
Favorite Huge-Rare: Dracolich. Tundra Scout is 2nd.
Least Favorite Mini: Bluespawn Godslayer. Seriously. War Ape is 2nd. Don't use em, and if you think about it, why do apes have spiked arm guards... but not just why, how many of these things do? Commons? nuh-uh.

| Wow. I almost completely agree with Sammeal as to my set choices. The only thing I disagree with is "Favorite Huge Uncommon." For me it is the Huge Fire Elemental.
Though I also admit a fond spot in my heard for the Dragonborn Fighters, and will probably try to collect at least 4-6. Hopefully it will be a good skirmish piece. | |

| Sammael is correct. Though, the poison dusk lizard will likely see more use, so I may need to make that change.

While twig blights are great, I've only seemed them used in one adventure, and they are created by a unique "being".
I'd probably pick the diseased dire rat, if we didn't already have a pretty good dire rat mini. | |

Favorite Common: Aasimar Fighter
This guy just looks great and I love the pose. He is pointing at the guy who's about to get his ass kicked.
Favorite NonHuge Uncommon: Yuan-ti Halfblood Sorcerer
This was a very tough category for me, there are several great looking pieces here, not all, but most. She is beautiful, can't wait to use her.
Favorite NonHuge Rare: Large Green Dragon
I am not a fan of dragons, but this one is a beautiful piece. Will find a way to use it. Oh yeah, one of my player's has crinsom ruination, so he'll be fighting this evil dragon [}:)]
Favorite Huge Uncommon: Displaced beast packlord and Purple Worm (I just can't pick one over the other)
Another tough category for me, I thought 5 of the 6 Huges Uncommons were excellent and better than the Rares, if you ask me. These two are awesome sculpt wise and useful RPG wise. Kudos WotC.
Favorite Huge Rare: Eldritch Giant
I am fully aware of the beauty of the Dracolich, but it is a bag of bones to me and since I am not a fan of dragons...dead or alive this was rather easy for me. The Giant is indeed Huge, taking up the entire base it seems and the armor is amazingly detailed as well as the awesome tattoos; I just hope that's how they will look when I get him.
I have to mention that the Tundra Scout, as much as I dislike the fact that made it as a Huge taking away a slot for other much needed (Other Elementals, Huge Riderless Dragons, Demons, Aboleth, Hydra, etc) Huges (my opinion) it is a most impressive piece, the detail is amazing, the tusks alone are beautiful. | |

| Favourite Minis:
1) Aspect of Tiamat
2) Large Fang Dragon
3) Sorcerer on Black Dragon (The name is quite mundane, don't you agree?)
4) Mountain Troll
5) Greenspawn Razorfiend (I'm not kidding. I'm seriously not. I have been looking for a mutated grasshopper for a very long time and this realizes my goal.)
Least Favourite Minis:
1) Large Green Dragon (Won't stop me from getting one, though. I just don't like the Green Dragon concept. I like the way the mini looks and I'm sure the stats will be great for skirmish but just don't like Green Dragons. Not as bad as Red Dragons, though.)
2) Tordek (When will we get Hennet?! He'd be the perfect proxy for my sorcerer!)
3) Demonic Gnoll Archer (I don't like gnolls ---except the Gnoll Sergeant--- and I don't like archers. 'Nuff said.)
4) Twig Blight (DM: "The three-foot stick man charges at you. What do you do?" Me: "I catch him and use him for campfire wood.")
5) Eldritch Giant (I'll only use it when they make a Death Giant. Yeah, you heard right. Never. It's too bad, really. I want a Death Giant oh so badly!) | |
