I preordered a few months ago the Gargantuan Black Dragon and the Colossal Red Dragon. They both look awesome, and are freakin' huge. The base of that red dragon is 6" x 6". The fire is detatchable from the red dragon, I'll probably take it off.



This is gonna be fun.

P.S.: Beholder > All. I actually got one in a case of Deathknell, that thing is nearly unstoppable if you roll well.

Hey, it's all or nothing. I don't skimp on it. Actually, I take that back. I don't go as far as dressing up like Harry Potter to get a book.

Hey more power to you. It is just all the geeks that play D&D are the BIGGEST geeks in the world.

I mean like Napoleon dynamite socially retarded but with one or a combination of: bad teenage mustaches, fat, wearing jogging pants for any occasion and a t-shirt with the neck all stretch out and worn.

Which one of those qualities do you posses?

Do you actually use those in a game? They look so delicate.

These particular figures are made of durable plastic. You're less likely to hurt someone when you get pissed and chuck the figure out the door.

These are great becuase they're a skirmish game by itself, but each stat card and figure can also be used in the normal Dungeons & Dragons game (assuming you play with figures). TSR (now Wizards) had a skirmish game before D&D minis called "Chainmail." Those were pretty cool because they were still made of peuter. The plastic, though, is cheaper to make and they don't break very easily.

Unlike Warhammer, you buy the figures in a box and you get a random selection. They vary from common, uncommn, and rare. Unlike Warhammer, anyone new to the game can make a cool army and be effect. It's not the "richest guy who buys all the best pieces wins" bullcrap like Warhammer.

Hey! I resemble that remark! I'm the fat one.

Actually, one of my friends that I play with doesn't want his "other" friends to know he plays D&D. He's as normal of our bunch as possible.

We have a bi-sexual girl who's married (to a man), a mexican, a few white guys, a jewish guy, a black guy, a chinese guy, and 3 gay guys.

Gods bless America and our diversity of nerds!

Oh ya, I forgot. The chicks that play D&D always look really dirty and make it very well know that they are 'Bi sexual" to the fellow players.
