Lil' plastic minis

[lurkerwithout]

I went to the comics shop today (among other places) for their memorial sale. Part of the sale was an e-coupon for people on their mailing list that gave 40% off one item. So I decided to try out the 4th Edition version of the D&D minis line. The current packs have one visible figure and then four randoms. For the visible I went with what looked to be an aboleth. Because aboleths are freaky Cthulu mythos "fish" things. The base says its an Aboleth Slime Wizard. I just like saying Slime Wizard. Sliiiiiime Wizard...

Also I got a Blood Scarab and Grimlock Minion (whose paint job kind of sucks a bit) as the commons, a Rust Monster (so adorable to menace the poor plate mail clad fighters) as the 2nd uncommon and an Orc Eye of Gruumsh as the rare...

I don't run either D&D4e or play the minis game, but all the figs seem usefull enough for regular fantasy rpgs, which is why I've bought more than a few packs from the previous lines...

I have to finish reading the DMG, but I would tend to agree. There seems to be VERY little focus on anything outside of combat. The builds seem very powerful too.
