I also have the Shrieker.Violet Fungi, the oozes, Bugbears (very cool, but going "commando"), the medusa is excellent-she has such a wry expression and interesting movement to her, OW's dungeon vermin also look really good.

Plus I would get one "surprise" figure nobody would expect like that the Gelatinous Cube with the dead guy floating inside.crowkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066821931343968827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-36909473341010617442009-11-09T15:56:09.217-05:002009-11-09T15:56:09.217-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.crowkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066821931343968827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-23544381569282963012009-11-09T15:38:04.441-05:002009-11-09T15:38:04.441-05:00I would suggest the Bugbears, though they wouldn&#...I would suggest the Bugbears, though they wouldn't be suitable for a game with kids.

Either the demon wins and everyone dies, or the demon dies and regardless of its immortality, you won't ever want to use it again (this keeps he "shine" on the encounter.)<br /><br />In figure-form, they are the one monster that diminishes the experience. Maybe your demons don't possess or rely heavily on illusion (if not, then this "advice" is useless), but mine do. Having a miniature, red-horned avatar fails to capture the demon encounter.<br /><br />What works for dragons does not work for demons, I think. Whenever I've used them (rarely) it has been far less tactical and tactile than role-playing and ethereal.<br /><br />Just a thought, but the fact is you can't go wrong with any of those miniatures. The cube would be my pick, but any of them would be a blast.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851335695807313040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-18747217944056799012009-11-09T13:32:42.750-05:002009-11-09T13:32:42.750-05:00I'd dearly love to snag some giants, but they&...<i>I'd dearly love to snag some giants, but they're more "outdoorsy" monsters and, at the moment, my campaign is pretty focused on the dungeon.</i><br /><br />What about the formorian giants deep in the caverns of Tsojcanth? ;)R.
