Xen'drik Champion my drow are not jungle drow

Rikka, Angelic Avenger as it an odd pose , yes it is modeled after a dudes wife that won a contest way back in the maxminis days. But the pose it just weird.

Dromite Wilder never really understood this one , bad concept of a monster.

The Underdark Theme This set does the bare minimum to classify as the official titled Underdark Theme. The Underdark creatures are just barely there in volume, and in quality and variety they are lacking. Other sets have just as many Underdark creatures, and of much better quality and popularity.

Grimlock Barbarian Another mini going back to the Harbinger level of quality, Very underwhelming.

Mounted Drow Patrol - That green paintjob is distracting and out of place. Not a fan of land of the lost dinos underground.

Aspect of Kord - The execution of this mini was always off to me. Colour choice and details dont work. The boots are too big and too high, and the blue needs to be toned down.
NEEDED MORE OF THIS....

My 3 picks:
Image
His axe always looked like it's flaking off. Never seen a worse metalic highlight. Also rather 2D pose.

Image
Maybe the cutest mini that has never seen play. I don't like mixing insectoid features with anthropomorphic features (yes driders are cool but there's a very good explanation on how they're made - MAGIC) and last, on some pieces the face looks bad, but not bad enough that I can pretend it's a halfling :geek: (on mine looks pretty well painted).

Image
This'll probably get me killed. I understand it's a multi-piece part and it's hard to make. But it's awfully sculpted. It suffers from the same problems as the Small White Dragon, but in that set there were worse candidates.

I just got to say, the Half-Orc Executioner really just looks like some BDSM guy ... What's up with the gimp costume with the bare chest?!

Image

Also, the Skeletal Equiceph ... I've NEVER heard of this creature outside of this miniature. Is there even a non skeletal equiceph miniature? I just feel like this mini is so far off, and I really can't see this one getting much use. I've personally never used one, despite having owned a couple.

1. Dromite Wilder - tiny & too obscure.

2. Rikka, Angelic Avenger - Hot, but tips over.

3. Skeletal Horseman - Obscure & is prone to be bended sideways.
A real horse skeleton would be way cooler.

The equiceph is a creature whose stats appear in the 3.5 book Miniatures Handbook. Basically a Minotaur-like horse-headed monstrous humanoid. There is no published stat block of a skeletal version (but, just apply the Skeleton template). Yes, it’s silly they never made a regular (living) version of this monster as a mini.
