That is another vote for Dragonlance in 2010!
*******it...
Oooo, there is an Aurak in that set. That is another vote for Dragonlance in 2010!
Where did you get that information?
Where did you get that information?
From the same location the OP got his/hers. If you click the link, miniature #3 is the Aurak Draconian, a Dragonlance exclusive creature. There is a link below its picture that says Source #1, which will bring you to a thread, which further confirms it.
Pardon that somewhat disgusting outburst, but that mini is one of the SWEETEST things I've ever seen.
Pardon, again. Anyway the Earth Archon and Frost Titan also look quite desirable, and I can't wait to see what the heroslayer hydra might actually look like in plastic form. More huge dragon and the ultimate beholder should be nice as well. Doom Dreamer is also a good figure, one can never have to many mysterious robed cultists.
This set looks to continue the upswing in quality that started with Dangerous Delves. Hopefully this will start to shut up all the detractors, though probably not. Regardless I'm looking forward to this set with eager anticipation.
Pardon, again, again.
I was expecting something a bit more like the actual image in MM2.
The disconnect from the art is a little problematic, but the use of clear plastic makes for an impressive alternate interpretation, and somewhat fitting as titans are supposed to evoke a stronger elemental connection than giants.
And don't forget the SWARM OF RATS! The Swarm of Rats, bane of low level party without AoEs :p
Be nice to have one that's the right base size, won't it?
Wait, I only count 7 visible huges... WHAT IS THE LAST ONE!?

5) Frost Titan

7) Heroslayer Hydra
8) Remorhaz[/INDENT]
I don't think we'll see a huge red, we've already had two of them.
I could go for a Huge Brown Dragon (that just sounds weird...) or a Huge Blue. In terms of Metallics, it will almost assuredly be an Adamantine or Iron, just because they are new.

My vote is for blue. Though I'll be fine with anything as long as it isn't a green, I hate the new green (old green was my favorite though).
In terms of Metallics, it will almost assuredly be an Adamantine or Iron, just because they are new.
I find Irons look cooler than Adamantines, but I expect will see the latter as a huge before the former. Could also be silver, they're classic and we've never had a huge one. Could also be gold, they're the iconic metallic and we haven't had one since Giants of Legend. Probably wont be copper, no one likes them (

Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel about Dragonlance?
PS: Aurak Draconian will be a funny-looking Dragonborn to me.

As much as I'm hoping for Dark Sun 4th edition, I'll admit there's been some pointers towards quite a few other settings (Greyhawk being the main one I've noticed).
Although I'd say a Dragonlance mini is definitely a good sign for fans of Dragonlance and its the strongest clue we've gotten yet.
Although there is always a chance Aurak's will get transported to "core" in Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons ;)

I would tend to agree with you on this, especially since draconians are the perverted, evil versions of metallic dragon offspring, so it makes sense to have them in the chromatic book. The more I think about your statement, the more I see it happening.
*inserts tongue in cheek*
At least there are less visibles to gather dust on the shelf, my FLGS still has ALL the unicorns and HALF the hippogriffs still hanging on his shelf, lol.
The Unicorn, however I agree with... what were they thinking???

They were probably thinking customers would hate opening a pack only to learn that their rare was a unicorn. Remember that Dangerous Delves was mostly cobbled together out of the remains of the canceled Feywild set. At least as a visible mini those that don't want it can easily avoid it.
Beyond that I'll repeat something I've said before. The unicorn is one of simplest and most useful figs to mod. Clip of the horn, file the stump flat, add a touch of paint, and voila. Your PC now has a riding horse.

Come to think of it, a little scupt-a-mold and paint and you can have either a Nightmare or Darkhoof (Open Grave)
I mean why not just make it plain WHITE?! Add some shiny metalic paint to the horn if you want to make it more interesting, maybe a different colored main...but dots?!
I'd have no problem with the Unicorn if it wasn't sporting POLKA DOTS!

Just a word of caution, I was actually accused of being a racist because I complained the unicorn wasn't white in a different thread........I wish I was joking.

...that's kinda sad.
Either way the paint job is just uninteresting. Pick a color, any color and make it a solid single color dangit!

1) They tried that in a previous set. Want to know what the response was? "WAAHH!! ONLY ONE COLOR! WOTC IS CHEATING ME ON PAINT STEPS!!11" So this is clearly an issue of "can't please everyone" - or anyone for that matter. So if the pure-white Unicorn is already out there (and not a fan favorite), why would they do it again?
2) A more interesting paint job would be to...reduce the number of colors...?

#62, bottom of the page, I tried to pass it off as a joke, but the more I read it the more serious it seemed to me, either that or I spend too much time with overly sensitive people and that's made me second guess everything I say.

I remember that thread. Seemed like an obvious joke to me at the time and it still does. I think you're right to accuse yourself of being overly sensitive.

Its just not striking enough.
They could have tried to use sparkles in the paint! Or a metallic undercoat in a shiney 'fey' color like pink or purple or some crazy color like that.

Oh I didn't say I was the one overly sensitive (I can take a joke), I share an office with a woman who spends all day telling customers and vendors about the mistakes she makes by saying "Blondie goofed again" yet when I make a comment to another co-worker about someone else, she assumes it's about her and complains to the boss that I make her feel stupid. So, yeah, I guess I'm a little gun-shy when people flop down the discrimination card, joking or otherwise.

where's the link where you can see all of these?
As for the Unicorn paint job, it's a dappled grey mare; I wanted to provide an alternate to the white version from Archfiends and something that could also pass either as a normal Unicorn or as a Dusk Unicorn.
Selection of visible miniatures definitely will improve over the next few sets; I like all the Huges in Legendary Evils.

It's the same as the link provided by the OP. Not all of them have images, only the balor, frost titan, goristro, and remorhaz show actual minis. The rest are only speculation based on various statements from WotC.
While close, that list of huges is not 100% correct.

I'm gonna guess that we're wrong about one of the Dragons, the main reason being that they were only included on that speculative list is because someone said, "It's a huge set! There's gotta be Huge Dragons!"* I bet there'll be one, and my guess is it'll be Metallic (because that's what's new this year).
(*Greyhaze is a nice guy for posting all that spoiler info, but I'm pretty sure the guy only really follows the minis side of things. He doesn't seem to know much about 4E at all, and it seems like he makes a lot weird/dumb guesses about the monsters in 4E. I find him frustrating.)
I'm hoping for blue dragon myself, seeing as I have a gargantuan, large, and medium Blue Dragons, as well as a ton of various blue dragonspawn... I got a theme campaign building there.... gimme a blue huge!

Just wanted to say thanks for slumming it in the forums, and keep the awesome minis coming
Probably only one huge dragon then.

I love Blue Dragons! But Green Dragons need the love moreso. I would love a Huge Green Dragon, 4E style!
That said, I still think it'll be a metallic dragon, and I hope it won't be a Gold or Silver (or even Iron), because we've already got Huges for those (or which make suitable stand-ins for those). For that reason, I think there's good cause for there to be a Huge Copper Dragon, or possibly a huge from one of the Draconomicons. (Bronze? Brass? Purple? Brown? Grey? Something weird, like a Draconic Wraith or a Planar Dragon?)

The list is not 100% because there is a huge Green Dragon and a Huge blue Dragon right Peter? :D
And please tell me them none of them are on props (logs, rocks etc..). Just a Figure on a base

Wow, I think I missed something.
Anyway, been lurking for a while, and I have to say all those minis look pretty cool. I know there was some complaining about the minis some time ago, but I have to say all mine have been OK at least, and awesome in several cases.
Wow, I think I missed something.
Go ahead and Google, Wikipedia, or IMDB the name "Legend" and all of your questions will be answered.
Sometimes I think humans really are demons....
Wouldn't it be interesting if Wizards pulled one over on us and released the set without any Huge Dragons? Imagine the chaos that would follow....

The WOTC servers would shut down with message board overload and give the 3.5 crowd another reason spread hate bombs.

Oh well. I call the thing the Donkey-corn (which has a really good meaning in fantasy baseball circles).
The new set minis look great though, this could be a winner.

OK, that explains the Tom Cruse/Unicorn comment, but I still have some other questions. Where do babies come from, anyway?
