What one miniature is your must have?

Ok you are just getting into the madness, you picked a faction and now must decide what will be the first miniature you will obtain.

For me since I play LE, it would be the Pit Fiend. Sorry but I like everything about it.

That's a pretty tough question. It's hard to answer from a purely skirmish standpoint, because I base my opinions of minis on both RPG and skirmish utility, not to mention appearance.

Currently, I would almost give an arm and a leg to get an Elf Pyromancer, but that's because they're out of print and in high demand.

If I was just starting out, and availability was not an issue, I would probably have to get a Clay Golem.

I dunno why, but I love that mini. I used to play it all the time.

Lord Soth, of course...

Hehe...Too bad they have yet to make an amazing Vampire...I was really hoping Strahd would have fixed that Sad

I could never decide on one first and must have for RPG, there are so many, but as a die hard LE skirmish fan, I would have to say the Duergar Champ.

I definitly have to choose Inspiring Marshal. I have always been a CG player and he seems to make it into a lot of my warbands.

Ah ? The archfiends one looks good enough to me (I'm not saying wotc can't do better...)

Oh and for the answer, well, I don't skirmish so I can only answe for rpg purposes.
Difficult to choose one. Right now i would say horned devil. One of the coolest minis ever done, and useful in any campaign (a bit high level, of course).

It Looks Nice,But Nothing Worthy Of The Name "Vampire" :asth:

The Ravenous Vampire Looks a Bit Savage For Such Geniuses As Vampires ( If I Remember Well,Vampires Were Geniuses In 2nd Edition...) tongue

Although it's not a "must have", I'm still very keen to get my hands on a Behir. I think it's just spiffy.

Guest

Beholder! I mean the older one. Still waiting for a well-balanced, well-costed undead to pair it to (if only Lord Soth's attack bonuses were higher Sad

), but when they do finally make one, the Beholder will rule!

Huge Red Dragon.

The HRD Does Look Better Than The CRD,In My Opinion,But The LRD Has Them Both Beat.

I think the LRD is an amazingly good sculpt, especially seeing how early it is. Although it is a "rearing" dragon.

Well, considering I "championed" it on enough sites, I'd have to go with Werewolf Lord. I'm a little disappointed in the way it looks (the tail is the same size as the HAR and GoL Werewolf's), and I would have liked it to be a bit less effective in Skirmish (so I could pick them up cheap). But I'm very glad it's here!

Guest

The werewolf lord is very nice, but the size creep bothers me a bit. it's almost the size of a Glabrezu mini, which is just wrong.

Subject: Re: What one miniature is your must have? Sat Mar 24, 2007 8:39 am

I would agree with Rack, the thing is huge. Is WOTC trying to make the minis into action figures?

Is it that costly ? In my fave online FLGS, it's quite cheap (for a rare). Far cheaper than beholder lich and both dragons.

Subject: Re: What one miniature is your must have? Sat Mar 24, 2007 10:06 pm

I was just looking at values (according to madda's list) and the Werewolf Lord was listed at over $20 US. Even some of the cheaper ebay stores are listing it at near $15 US--better than some places charge for Dragons!

Part of it comes from it being the heir apparent to the Eye of Gruumsh as far as it being a front-line commander. That's going to boost the value a bit.

I don't know that it will keep the value, but it's there for right now.

Wow, that's messed up. No way it'll stay that way tho
