New D&D Minis Set Legendary Evils!

This past weekend I purchased my first two booster packs of the new Dungeons & Dragons Minis set Legendary Evils. Basically the idea is simple for those of us who have crates of these things at home and in back storage rooms. This set however has a slight twist like that last set did.

Basically there are 8 huge Monsters in this set and they are not random. So if you buy a full case of 8 you get the whole set of huge creatures or if you just want to get 1 or 2 packs then you get your choice of the huge Creatures and you get 4 random normal sized miniatures with each pack.

While my first choice would have been the massive Beholder mini my local shop Dragon Port Games & Comics had sold those packs already so I got 2 very good runner up choices. The new Huge Balor is a very nice looking figure. Also I got the winged snaked creature called Remorhaz which is also a very nice Mini.

I also got a Scarecrow Stalker, foulspawn hulk, Iron Tooth (the goblin), Doomdreamer, Minotaur Thug, Githzerai Mindmage (nice to see Placescape stuff back.), Slaad Spawn, & finally a Hezrou.

The set looks very nice overall and the feature of picking out your own huge Monster is a nice bonus for some especially those that don't have thousands of these little guys like I do.

I think this is a very good way for people to get into minis for their D&D game or a wonderful addition to a collection of any size. It is really hard to imagine having too many of these if you
love to have a variety of gaming pieces for D&D.





This set retails for 21.99 per pack which is about normal for the Huge sets.

You can buy them pretty much anywhere that sells role playing or miniatures games.

This set is a must buy for anyone playing D&D that wants a wide range of great looking pre-painted miniatures.





Also so you can get an idea of what the whole set looks like with some professional photographers doing it. I have linked the Wizards of the Coast page so you can take a look.

The Top 10 Ladies of Gen Con

Its been awhile but here I am back at the blog with
a few Pictures of the wonderful ladies of Gen Con Indy!





First a few honorable mentions



This adventurous woman was all ready to head out on adventure and defend herself if need be.


She was out adventuring at Gen Con in search of a band perhaps?









These two fine young ladies had dinner with me Saturday night.


No worries since I did not know I was doing a top 10 at the time the dinner didn't change anything. They were pretty cool and at their first Gen Con.
















Don't let the mean expression fool you,




She was very friendly and having a good time at Gen Con.

Now onto the Top 10!


Number 10






These ladies were all smiles and they had some pretty cool companions.



A good way to start off the list.







Number 9



Originally I was taking a picture of the cool costume her dad had on.

She was looking at a game and I did not see her. But she was so excited to pose and having such a great time I had to take a second shot.

Since having a great time is what Gen Con is all about she is number 9 on the list!












Number 8










A friend of mine and I were waiting in line to buy some gaming tokens when we stumbled across this young lady.



I don't think waiting in line has ever been so good.



I think the shorts really make the costume.






Number 7





This was fun little group that I ran into near the food court.




The horns really were well done and I am sure you agree they made the costume and she had some great friends.






Number 6








These ladies were a little Blue but it seemed like the Gaming was cheering them up.


















Number 5









Red Sonja in the Flesh.



She also carried a cool looking sword but that armband might keep you from noticing it.






Number 4


These two fine young Ladies were working a booth at the faire.



I did not get around demoing many games but I really should have.


Next year 4 days I think not just 1.







Number 3






This young lady would almost get me
into online Gaming.



At first I thought it was something WOW related but I guess its the good old classic Everquest.


Its not that online gaming is bad its that if I played it most likely that would be the end of so many other fun things in life.








Number 2

One of the few woman representing the wonderful world of Steam Punk.



I caught up with her while she was checking out a new pair of boots.


She really makes Steam Punk look good does she not?








And Finally the Number 1 Lady of Gen Con.


There have been a number of nice, pretty, and wonderful woman in the previous photos.


I know there are more than 10 women on here since some of these photos have more than 1 of the many wonderful ladies that love gaming so much.


The number One person on this list is the only one with a name attached.


She is well known and has provided so much to so many for so long.

People like her is why things events like Gen Con exist at all.

Presenting the Number 1 Lady of Gen Con!




The wonderful Margret Weis

Co Author of Dragon Lance & the Death Gate Cycle

Plus many other titles of her own and with Tracy Hickman.

Thanks for the Great Time everyone and I hope those reading this

can enjoy this small piece of my First Gen Con!

New Models from Battlefront & Games Workshop! New D&D World releases!

First up is a nice new model from Games Workshop that will make an excellent new terrain piece or display board on tables across the country.

Designed for use in Warhammer Fantasy or Warhammer 40k this is going to be a very popular item.

Also obviously it crosses over into other miniatures games very easily as a stock piece of terrain.


Next is this great new boxed Set From Battlefront Miniatures for its Flames of War Game. These are Sturm Tigers which are heavy artillery guns mounted on tiger Frames & uses the famous Tiger Tank Armor.

These were used in the very late parts of World War 2 by German SS troops.

Flames of war is a historical game which uses real historical forces, tech data, and geographical information to form the basis for a game full of history. You can play a game and learn about the historical events of World War 2 at all the same time!





Then a brand new item for Dungoens & Dragons. The first book in Wizard's newest D&D world Eberron is out this week.

Eberron is a D&D world that mixes fantasy with steam technology. You have airships, magical golems, & gnomes riding dinosaurs!

How can you stay away from a world that has short furry creatures riding dinosaurs doing battle with magical golem creatures!

New Warhammer Fantansy Empire Models

This is the New Empire Plastic Steam Tank kit.

While you will no longer be able to easily give your opponent a serious head wound by throwing your model.

It does look a ton easier to put together and the detail in photos I have seen looks excellent.

You can get this excellent new model this weekend at Dragon Port Games & Comics!


There is also a great new special character and captain model coming out to add an to excellent range of choices for Empire Characters. Finally the long awaited Plastic Great Swords models are coming out as well.
