Does anyone know what will be coming out in the next set of player figuers in July and the new monster figs the Dungeon Lords in August?

I'm sure that somebody knows. Peter Lee knows, surely. But so far, as far as I know, the only public statement has been that Dungeon Lords will have huge visibles.

I do hope the paint quality will go back up toward pre-Demonweb levels. Nay, pre-Dungeons of Dread levels.

I can't even find the page for Dungeon Lords. I thought it had been renamed (according to Amazon), but all I can find now is "Savage Encounters", listed for release on Nov. 17th. Is a mini set every two months normal?

Dungeon Lords has been renamed Legendary Evils.

I'll be starting previews soon for the 2nd Heroes series and Legendary Evils shortly after that.

We just got our incrementals (a bag containing one of each figure) in the office this past week, and they're looking pretty darn good. I think it's the best selection of huge miniatures yet, but I admit I may be a little biased. ;)

All the spoilers I've seen tend to agree!

Peter Lee said that this list is not 100% accurate, but the pics that are out on the web are there, take a look:

Amazon only has 4 of the Player Handbook Heroes series 2 boxes available with pictures. I took a look at them and can tell you what I saw.

Primal Heroes 2 features what is clearly a re-paint of the Frenzied Berserker mini of a previous set, which makes me wonder at why have, out of 6 Primal minis released, 3 are barbarians? Of the other 2 one has a sword, and no shield, so...not a shaman and not a warden....maybe it's a scimitar? are druids profiecient with scimitars?

Arcane Heroes 3, one of them is a warforged. We have a female in a blue dress, and a male in red and gold holding a sword...possibly a swordmage? Maybe a bard?

Martial Heroes 3 there is DEFINETELY a new dragonborn, and he looks sweet. He's got a shield which immediately tells us either fighter or warlord. The other two figures are hard to make out, but one is blond and wearing green (ranger?) and one MIGHT be small. Really hard to make out that one, my bet is on halfling rogue.

Martial Heroes 4 has a repaint of Alusair Obareskyr (sp?) from a previous set. I know b/c I have the mini, looks to be a female human fighter or warlod, she has a shield and a sword. I think I also see a tiefling with a sword and shield, and since tieflings are better warlords than fighters, my bet would be on warlord for that one. Last one is hard to make out, but it's medium sized and either wielding 2 crossed swords or a big crossbow, I would go with a 2w ranger mini.

Any chance that the female Tiefling Warlock will eventually get a mini?

I'll eventually do another female tiefling warlock, but there was a female Tiefling Warlock in Unhallowed so it hasn't been a priority of mine.

The dragonborn is a repaint, it's the dragonborn fighter from war of the dragonqueen. So far there are 5 repaints. the dragonborn fighter, combat medic, kalashtar bodyguard, Alusair Obarskyr, and the frenzied berserker. Not a complaint, as they are all good sculpts that I wouldn't mind more of, just an observation. I've seen two warforged and am quite happy with both, one is robed cleric (I really like this one). There appears to possibly be a paladin Bane in the divine heroes 2 set. Over all I'm really happy with what I've seen pictures of.

Lol, take a human and paint its skin blue.
I'm currently playing a Deva so I'd personally love to see one but from a general perspective we're probably better served by prioritising things that have unique body shapes rather than just new and exciting skin tones.

Deva's might not have a unique body shape, but they have a unique style of dress (ornamental wings and halo-like headgear).

Are the WotC people going to even bother fixing the sivaks sword or is it going to be bent in half and stuck to the botton of the wing like in the picture?

Well, IIRC, supposedly most (all?) of these early pics are of factory rejects.

These pictures look very good. I love the Dragons and the Frost Titan. The entire series looks awesome!

I'm a bit PO'd that Amazon.ca (and .com, AFAICT) don't let you pick which pack you get when you order the monster packs from them. The visible mini is essentially random when you order from them! Grr...

EDIT: Who do I complain to in order to get this to change? Who's willing to help me? (I imagine many people will need to complain!)
