Hey,
   What's the liklihood of a Human Brawler with a shield miniature?  Currently, I'm playing a that race/class with a gauntlet and a shield, but I have no mini to portray anything close to it.  Wonder if anything like that is in the future or even been suggested?

Like Thunder_Dragonbane said. Or get a shield somewhere (or a small poker chip) and glue it on the brawler.

oh more races: gnomes, goliaths,

I'd like to see:

A mini that is definetely a warden (maybe in the middle of one of his guardian forms).

Shardmind minis (in colors other than red/pink).

Psionic classes with the halo around their heads.

Another Thri-kreen or two.

Great Cyric, no.

If they do, it needs to be it's own seperate set with nothing but Gamma World stuff in it.  I don't want to accidentaly end up with some of those.

I'd like to see all those new Dark Sun monsters. Some of them are truly terrifying and would make awesome minis.

The Dragon of Tyr tops my list.

Heroscape minis may work well for some gamma world characters.

Buy reaper. You'll find nearly everything you just mentioned.

There is a company out there that makes 30mm minis, sorry I can't remember the name at the moment, you can use those for goliaths, as D&D minis are supposed to be 28mm.



i use the legends line as well, but i'm not really interested in painting them as much. and some of the gnomes in that set are larger than the average scale wizards prepainted.

We will be lucky to have a miniature set in 2011. I hope so but I am prepared for it. So, buy Lords Of Madness in droves!!

I'd like to see a Half-Orc Mage and a Pit Fiend with a Mace (from the mm1).

I suppose if they sculpted a set of Gamma World monsters, they could do it, but how could they possibly sculpt characters when all your mutations sound like they're going to be random?

My thoughts exactly (aside from the half-orc). I wouldn't be too surprised if Lords of Madness would be the very last DDM set. I'd wish for one more set of amazing paint quality. Seriously, comparing the more recent sets' rare minis with uncommon minis of older sets is unbelievable. There are certain minis I'd love to have, but as long as the line continues at all, I'll be happy.

Why all the wishlists from players? 

Build a module and sell the minis with it.  Charge an extra 50-100 bucks and be done with it.  Certainly beats spending six hours online trying to find the right minis to match the adventure. 

Also, please stop building your modules with a disproportionate amount of rares in them.  It's insulting.

Don't worry, they took your advice. Not only will they stop making minis, but they've stopped printing adventure modules too.

My advice is to sell them as a package - not discontinue them.

1. Green Dragon - this is a must to properly complete the Icon line
2. Red Dragon - this would be nice since, let's face it, the CRD is simply too big for gaming
3. Demogorgon - very cool idea to go along with Orcus
4. Tiamat - huge WotDQ miniature is nice but a gargantuan would be awesome
5. Dracolich - see Tiamat above; perhaps something other than a blue dragon?
6. Tarrasque - cool idea since I know people have been asking for this since day one


That would be awsome. \o/

I would buy all of those.  Except for big red.  Already have that one.
There is a space on my shelf set aside for the big green.

I hope they do a set of Gamma World mutants.



I would absolutely love this. Using my pre-existing minis to represent the PCs and Monsters from Gamma World just does not do them justice.

Plus:

Dark Sun monsters / PCs (especially the Dragon)
the Dungeon Master from the old cartoon 



And for the miniatures to start being sold non-randomly like they always were back in the legendary days of yore... in that mythical time when you could just go out and buy a pack that had a mini for the monster you needed for your adventure. Not "well today the fearsome Beholder that is menacing the party is being played by a displacer beast because Beholders are stupidly hard or expensive to get ahold of". (Just as an example off the top of my head.) Rare D&D miniatures, WTF.

And finally, my other request is for the D&D minis to start coming with Heroscape stats on a seperate card from their rpg stats. That way I can continue to get new minis for, what I felt, was one of the best miniature games of all time (behind Heroclix.) I loved that it allowed me to field armies consisting of standard D&D fantasy types, mecha, ninja, orcs riding dinosaurs, and psionic Matrix-style "Agents" (among so many others.)

Back to basics...

There are a lot of great ideas here ("Poker Chip Shield" guy, you deserve a medal for that one!). I think though, since 4E has introduced so many great new races/classes, it'd be great to just fill out those fundamentals as a base. The one particular I've got in mind is the Goliath. The, primarily, one, great mini, the Goliath Barbarian is awesome, but it would be nice to see, at least, one other common, easily buyable mini in that Race.

The same of course goes for all the new races. The more common "legacy" races and classes, Dwarven Fighter, Elven Archer, etc. can, in a pinch, be filled in for by other older, similar minis. But when you create new races and classes there's no historical backlog of fill-ins to "pinch hit".

We need a fundamental build up of minis to make up for these, I think. I am, for instance, currently on a, kind of sad, internet-wide search for an old Stone Giant mini to stand in for the default Goliath Barbarian mini for my current Goliath Warden character, if you know what I'm sayin'...

Since 4E has shifted a lot of emphasis to movement/mini gameplay and tactics, we are in dire need of some good gear to really bring it to life and provide that variety and individuality we used to have, a la the good old "Ral Partha" days.

Do us a solid Wizards! Wink

Reaper has a really nice Half giant mini, which is perfect for a golaith. Its roughly 30mm scale so it towers over the other medium minis on the mat which a 7' guy should. It comes with a great axe for its weapon.




Hey Thunder_Dragondane, good lookin' out, thanks! I will check it out.
