Chimera looks awesome, the wardrummer looks like an orc (how's that for non-commital), I'm really psyched about the Hill Giant barbarian, and (grr) Aspect of Hextor looks really cool, but man do I really want some more FR aspects . . . (Aspect of Malar anyone?)

Hmm...personally I'd prefer an aspect of Sune or Eilistraee, myself

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

The Champion of Eilistraee from Arch Fiends could double as Aspect of Eilistraee

Also If you save the pic and crank up the brightness or invert the colour then you'll be able to see the left side of box which shows another Dragon and 2 others

Hey, I meant to ask you guys this. Do you know any place online that sells minis by the piece? I've found one, but I didn't really trust the place. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks, Sage, I appreciate. That definitely seems to be the way I want to be going. I am thinking of creating an Dark Elf/Faerie Elf band (2 bands, not together) and didn't want to sift through tons of boosters to get them. Thanks again!

I'd buy that! And calm down KnightErrant, siege engines can be great fun *decides to go set up a battle in Medieval Total War*

I'm glad to see the Obould, though there doesn't sound like there is an upgrade to Obould's stats, though this would have been a good time to bump him up a little based on recent information. I did notice that they refered to him as Obould's Chosen. Oh, and the flameskull is nice.

And neither one is a seige engine, so that's an improvement.

Id say the Obould preview is of his regular stats

From the article

"This version of Obould won't want to go toe-to-toe Drizzt"

this likely means that Obould will have 2 stats cards a regular and an epic card (Drizzt Epic stat card comes out in the January retailers pack)

How much do you want bet that a Flaming Skull pops up in the next Undermoutain Room article?

I actually dont mind the siege engines.

The evil campaign Im running will start in Darkhold with the Banites leaving the Citadel to the Cyricists

Im going to paint Games Workshop Warhammer Fortress up so it resembles Darkhold.

http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=99220299001&orignav=13

So Ill want a couple of Arcane Balistas to put on the Towers

That's a good idea...

I didn't realize that fortress was from GW. I've seen it before, but beyond trying (unsuccessfully) to use it as terrain for BattleTech, I've not paid much attention to it.

You knew I was going to ask about this didn't Wooly?

I'd like to hear how? PM me... I've only ever seen them used as poor substitutes for Castle Brians .

Just as barriers. I'd usually drop a wall right in front of one of my units, right before it got fired on. Or, when setting up, I'd put one of the walls on the field, and have my Mechs on the battlements. My opponent didn't allow this.

Okay, I could find a use for those two easily. Although there have been several mindflayers compared to some other creatures that could use some additional availability (cough . . . beholder . . . cough). I still, in my wildest dreams, hope for a Valerie Valusek inspired Phaerimm in some set, somewhere . . . though I would be happy with a sharn, dispite the fact that the name as been hijacked . . .
