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.

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.
