Sibriex (D&D - Boneyard)
Very nasty, very awesome! Great sculpt, great paintjob! The large puddle of ichor is a really nice touch, too!

Awakened Tree (D&D - Snowbound)
It's a simple thing, but it looks great! And it's quite versatile!

Arboreal Regent (PF - Darklands Rising)
Just a really cool and very unique Treant type of creature! Paintjob also seems pretty decent.

1. Sibriex - Boneyard - This is one of the best released all year for any size. It's definitely my favorite.
2. Frost Giant and Mammoth - Snowbound Premium - Yeah it's a bit oversized but it's definitely a cool mini.
3. Atrapol - Boneyard - Not as great as Sibriex but still an awesome mini.

I did find it interesting that all the huges I picked were from Pathfinder Battles, and actually from a single set.

Fleshwarp, Irnakurse - Something about being able to turn a creature inside out sparked my imagination. I got
a bunch of Groyhluts (woe be my party!) and an Irnakurse to add some variety to my Drow warband capabilities. Yes, this underlines my theme of Drow generally being evil, but I am at peace with that notion.

Jabberwock - I had been wanting a Jabberwock for what seems like forever, and Pathfinder’s rendition of it is outstanding. I like it much better than the Wild Beyond the Witchlight version.

Shoggoth - I have to admit, I really didn’t know anything about Shoggoths before this mini came out. But it was a cool enough mini to entice me to find out more.
Disclamer: I prefer black bases, and as such have painted many clear bases black. Pictures of my collection will reflect this, varying from the original way the mini was produced.

My choices in this order

Atrapol (D&D - Boneyard) love this mini, mayor villian in a pre-written, long over due since 3.5. Gory and awesome

Sibriex (D&D - Boneyard)another great mini , very detailed sculpt and just heavy

Zombie T-Rex (D&D - Boneyard) A mini I do not own still because to me this was in the wrong slot should of have been a uncommon for that it drops. But it does look nice and graphic

Elder Black Pudding (D&D - Boneyard) this one I am placing up there just because its is just a classic and prob one of the most exciting to get in my hands as a DM mini of huge size last year.

Goblin Battle Wagon from Snowbound should be added too, even if it is a kinda weird mini. :D

My vote is for the T-Rex Zombie though, easily the best of the year for me.

I look forward to debating these with you guys, because I could definitely be convinced about the Zombie T-Rex, even though the Atropal is my personal favourite. Both are great sculpts but the T-Rex is particularly detailed.
