| So, now that we know the list (and even the mini pics) for DragQueen, any guesses about the skirmish stats?
I am excited to see the damage on the Goliath Cleric....it looks like a pretty large (dare I say HUGE) club he has there....assuming a strength of 18 and a couple notches for power attack, this guy could easily be upwards of 20 damage per swing....
Wonder if her bothered to buff himself?!
Also the War Weaver looks cool...any ideas as to abilities???
Let the rampent speculation BEGIN!!! | |

| | Witchknife may be the inspired Lieutenants best friend! I do believe that they are Psionic! | |

| Warweaver has a very complex ability to cast buff spells on multiple people. How they translate it will be interesting. The real warweaver has to be able to touch all the targets in the rd the spell is cast. So potentially they may make an ability where it can cast a spell on all adjacent allies.
They might just make it easier and give it an ability like
Legion casting [][] where it can choose to cast two of its spells legion potentially...
another possibility is just to make some of its spells legion to portray the ability.

| Or some sort of 'Spell on the Run' ability -- cast a Touch spell and move, and every ally the caster becomes adjacent to during the move gains the spell's effect.

| There does seem to be quite of few Magic Users here....clerics, sorcerers, war weavers.....
Could have some great spells!

| Looking at the poster pics on merric's site, the Griffon Cavalry looks AMAZING...
The Goliath cleric could be really interesting, as there hasn't ever really been a good CG cleric aside from the Cleric of Corellon, and he's good, but not as useful as LG's Cleric of Dol Arrah or Cleric Of Order.

| | Does anyone have any idea of what the Doomfist Monk might be like? I'd love to see LE get a decent monk (Yah, I know that the Dark Moon Monk fills a niche). | | | |

| | I am curious as to the Commander Rating on the Mounted Blackguard, with TM +6 if (s)he is a Commander 6 like the HBG then LE has defacto fearless for most of its combat units. | |

| Are there any epic minis in this sset besides the huges? Maybe the human blackguard???
Considering that CG got screwed when it came to huges, maybe they have an epic or two to compete with those big boys....Epic Griffon Cavalry??? | |

| There are supposed to be 4 epics in this set... if I had to guess, I'd say they're:
Blackguard on Nightmare
Tordek (him I'm sure of)
Cadaver Collector
then I'm hoping: Griffon Cavalry

I am 99% sure that the Slaughterstone Eviscerator is Epic as well as Tordek, and that the Bonded Summoner *SHOULD* be epic if he is going to see play with the Huge fire elemental... That only leaves ONE unaccounted for.....Cavalry? Maybe, but that would leave the evil factions with NONE. Would they do that??? | |

The Slaughterstone Eviscerator is also Epic, according to Preview 5.
As for skirmish stats, I'm curious about the Goliath Cleric of Kavaki. It'll probably do 20+ melee damage, and have some nice buffing spells (like magic weapon). If it's a commander, I hope it has a useful commander effect.
That Cloudreaver is interesting, too. Hopefully it'll be a nice fodder piece for CE.

| Also remember there was a hint we would get a CG bulls strength. My money is on the goliath cleric for that.
As for Epics
We know:
Tordek
Slaughterstone
Id expect (possibles):
Golden Protector
Cadaver Collector
Meepo
Im willing to bed that since LG didn't get any Huges that all 4 epics are LG.

| Here's some speculative Witchknife stats, from the MM3:
Witchknife
CE; WoDQ; Common; 25 pts
Lvl 9; Spd 6; AC 18; HP 30
Melee Attack: +9 (5)
Ranged Attack: +12 (5)
Type: Monstrous Humanoid
Special Abilities:
- Sneak Attack +5 (or maybe 10)
- Vulnerable Sonic
- Resist Fire 5
Spells:
1st - command (unlimited uses) (range 6; Stun; DC 13)
5th - greater command [] (range 6; radius 2; Stun, affected targets must make another save at the end of their turn or be affected again; DC 17)
And the spells are technically psionic abilities, but they don't have power points, just uses/day, so I don't know how they'll do them. I have no idea whether greater command will re-stun like that either, but I hope it does. | |

Well, from the poster, it is supposed to be LE/CE for a faction....The rest of it looks pretty much on par, only that I hope that it uses psionics...that way, the Inspired Lieutenant might have something to lead....
Vulnerable to Sonic would be bad though, just because of the Couatl and Marut strengths. | |

| CG is the Huge-less faction, so I'd expect they get an epic (but maybe not, you never know.)
My guess is the spellscale sorcerer or goliath cleric. | |
