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.
