Purple Dragon Knight 01-12-06, 04:26 PM	Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I look forward to put my hands on that mini: it looks fabulous!
Lord Karsus 01-13-06, 08:36 AM	-Cool. I don't even play with miniatures, but that's pretty cool. I don't know, but are there a lot of Realms personalities miniatures? How about personalities from other campaign settings?
Chosen of Bane 01-13-06, 08:59 AM	-Cool. I don't even play with miniatures, but that's pretty cool. I don't know, but are there a lot of Realms personalities miniatures? How about personalities from other campaign settings? I don't play the mini game either but I use them as character/npc representation when we play D&D. For realms personalities that I know of: King Obould (forthcoming) Drizzt Do'Urdden Artemis Entreri Also a group of realms specific minis that aren't specific people.... Purple Dragon Knight Warrior of Cormyr Half-Orc Cleric of Bane Morninglord of Lathander Sun Soul Monk From all the other campaign settings they have... All the Iconic characters from the PHB Mordenkainen Probably some others that I don't recognize I'm sure I have missed a few but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Originally, my group was going to get miniatures to represent people/places. Ultimatley, that was scrapped, since there was a limited amount of miniatures we had, and none of them ever seemed to match the characters. There's just something about a lead Illithid representing a Sun Elf Cleric that just does not mesh.
Chosen of Bane 01-13-06, 10:47 AM	-There's just something about a lead Illithid representing a Sun Elf Cleric that just does not mesh. Funny that you mention this. In one of our games, another player constantly used an illithid mini to represent his Sun Elf Wizard. The first time he did it was a joke and we all got a good laugh when one of the guys in our group wasn't paying much attention and all of a sudden said "Crap" when he looked at the battle grid. He thought we were fighting a mindflayer... Eventually we got sick of him using a mindflayer to represent the Elven Wizard so we replaced it with a mini of an elf and hid the mindflayer.

Crust 01-13-06, 09:03 PM	I don't play Miniatures, but I do own the Realms personalities: Elminster, Guen, Artemis, Alusair, Ryld... Drizzt is actually on his way. I'm definitely getting Obould. Anyone know of any other Realms personailties in War Drums?
Zevox 01-13-06, 11:20 PM	Dargoth - You forgot the Gracloak Ranger in Archfiends. Also, the Fire Genasi Dervish isn't a Realms mini (Genasi weren't originally from the Realms, nor are they Realms-specific), nor are the Mounted Drow Patrol, Drow Arachnomancer, Dark Naga, or Wemic Barbarian. Lord Karsus - Dargoth's list pretty well covers Realms personalities, but for other setting personalities they've got: Dragonlance: Lord Soth Mina Greyhawk: Mordekein Most of the PHB iconics (minus Alhandra, Gimble, Soveliss, and Hennet) Rask (I think hes Greyhawk - I may be wrong, he may just be made up for minis) Ulmo Lightbringer Ialdabode Kerwyn Ragnara King Snurre Lareth the Beautiful Crust - Obould is the only unique (those being the figures of characters with actual names, for those who don't know) announced for War Drums as of yet, but they said in the preview with Obould that there will be four total. How many will be Realmsian is utterly unknown, but I/you/anyone can hope. :D As for Obould himself... well, hes one of only 3 Realms minis they could have announced that I wouldn't be excited over (the other two being Jeggred Baenre and an Aspect of Cyric). Ah well, maybe I'll get lucky and one of the other three uniques will be Piergeiron Paladinson :angel: . Zevox
Lord Karsus 01-14-06, 10:04 AM	-Let me extend a thank you to Dargoth and Zevox.
Dargoth 01-14-06, 05:37 PM	Dargoth - You forgot the Gracloak Ranger in Archfiends.

Im not sure the Greycloak Ranger is actually an FR mini Fire Genasi, riding lizard, wemic have only been stated up in a FR source book ie the FRC for first 2 and MoF for the last one Dark Naga is definately a Realms creature like the Dracolich its an Ed Greenwood Orgional (It has since been pilfered into generic D&D ie its appearance in MM1)
Brenigin 01-14-06, 10:39 PM	Greycloak Ranger is definitely FR - the Greycloak Hills are near Evereska and patrolled by elven rangers looking to keep outsiders away.
Zevox 01-15-06, 01:16 AM	Im not sure the Greycloak Ranger is actually an FR mini Brenigin is correct in this one (also note that the rangers of Greycloak Hills wear grey Cloaks of Elvenkind). Fire Genasi, riding lizard, wemic have only been stated up in a FR source book ie the FRC for first 2 and MoF for the last one Genasi were Planescape originals back in 2e if I remember one of Shemeska's posts correctly. Wemics (as even the preview can tell you) are classics out of the 1e Monster Manual 2. Ergo neither are Realms minis, even if thier 3.5e stats appear in Realms books. I don't know about the riding lizards though, but I'm not inclined to call it a FR mini on account of the fact that Drow aren't Realms-specific and I doubt that Drow riding giant lizards is (this one I could be wrong on). Dark Naga is definately a Realms creature like the Dracolich its an Ed Greenwood Orgional (It has since been pilfered into generic D&D ie its appearance in MM1) Thats a new one by me. I'd be interested to know a bit more about this, if anyone knows anything further. Zevox
