Lolth, Demon Queen of Spiders

**Asuryan**

These look awesome, definately getting the Drow and Spider Queen. Im guessing the Drizzt mini they are hinting at releasing is also in the same scale?

New preview #2:

**Bolognesus**

...Wow that ogre is more than just two steps back from Lolth, quality-wise... Damn shame too, I love the idea, just not the execution.

**DarkSoldier**

I would like that beholder a lot more if it were looking down its.. er... metaphorical nose at the impetuous trespassing humanoids.

I dunno. I think the quality is on par, personally. The pose is a bit odd, which is making the waist area look weird.

These seem to be a bit lower quality sculpt-wise:

Also: What are they? Are they from a campaign setting? I totally don't recognize them, nor do they particularly evoke the standard D&D archetypes.

**Alpharius**

They are... the Slave Lords!

1E AD&D A1-4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge_of_the_Slave_Lords

A classic!

**warboss**

The ogre does look nice but I wish he wasn't leaning back so much in a "whoa" striking pose. If the belly/torso is a separate piece from the hips/legs, a simple switch might be possible. I'm interested in that fig for a shadowrun player character (Troll mage!) but I'd need to see that box parts/contents before buying.

**livanbard**

Well must of these were featured on D&D Essentials artwork. Quite nice. Always liked that drow with the spiked bow.

**Kanluwen**

Dagnabbit. I might have to buy Drizzt.

**warboss**

That one is nice indeed. I figured I was done getting D&D models with my obsession with the prepainted minis for years but I may pick up that one as well.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Umber hulk incoming (posted on TT Combat by Jay)

**Alpharius**

That's an Umber Hulk?!?

That's no Umber Hulk!

THIS is an Umber Hulk:

Or better yet, this:

That last one in particular really shows off its power to confuse and daze - I'm getting hypnotized just looking at it now!

**Kroothawk**

3rd edition might want a word with you:

**porkuslime**

I guess that last picture kinda makes me wonder..

Why would I want one of these GF9 figs when something that looks "right" is already available cheaper?

-P

Same reason I would by Empress modern soldiers rather than use army men, or why people by Luxury cars, because there is a difference in quality.

Because it's limited edition.
You HAVE to have limited edition models.
You MUST buy them.
You are getting sleepy. Very sleepy.

1.) These and all prepainted D&D miniatures are not available anymore (except used on ebay).
2.) GF9 miniatures have a slightly larger scale (fitting e.g. Warhammer), more details and you can paint them to a better standard.

**-DE-**

That's one malnourished Umber Hulk.

Overall, the range looks nice and is affordably priced... in the US. Europe apparently pays a 33% tax on top of increased shipping rates. UK has it even worse. I was considering buying a handful of sets at American prices, but European? No way.

Ah, no gak?

The joke there was it looks nothing like the original Umber Hulk.

But you know, explaining jokes and all that...
