it won't be long now until the gnoll tribes of the desert grasslands seek out new prey amongst the villages of my homebrew world. Love the minis keep em coming!

I've always thought gnolls were underused in Pathfinder. Glad to see they're not entirely forgotten.
The iconic heroes look decent. Sajan is who I'm most excited for, as his original sculpt had off proportions (teeny little arms).
Even looking at the paint masters I can see Seoni is likely to be the weak link, the details in her face lost under a glob of paint and the mere memory of a mouth present. But could just be the light. We'll see...
I like the Goblin and Gnoll Slaver both. I could see the Gnoll Slaver being tweaked with weapon swaps as well. Give a pack of them some variations. This set is looking so good.

We needed a Pathfinder Goblin Archer. This will truly fill out the ranks in my growing Pathfinder Goblin Army.
And to chime in agreement, glad to see the Gnolls coming out in force. I look forward to the production images, an of course to have them in hand.
The Iconic Heroes Set #1 is rather timely. I use Valeros as my Longsword and Gladius wielding Pirate in a Skull & Shackles campaign. And a player is looking to use Valeros as their miniatures in my third Rise of the Runelord campaign. At present I only have one. So getting another sculpt is great. Now each of us can have their own version. (I usually provide all the miniatures, and let the players keep the one that represents their PC.)
These are so good. I simply can't wait for Dungeon's Deep! And I agree about the Gnoll being a great addition!

Is there any way you would consider editing your post or hiding it behind a spoiler tag? I personally have no problem with learning about the upcoming minis, but some might prefer the suspense.
Links are great because they provide one the opportunity to make up his or her own mind. I agree that discussion about it will be fun, but perhaps we can create a new thread?
Some pretty awesome stuff in that picture, no matter how you slice it! I'm especially excited about the not-aboleth, and the ticks and centipedes are also very welcome. Pleased that we've got a Daughter of Urgothoa coming too!

I´m sorry Pigraven, you´re probably right - but i don´t know how to create a spoiler button. :o
Also i don´t know how to create a new thread but if you do i´ll visit there and we can discuss about the shown minis.I agree that there are probably some people who want to surprise themselves every week.
But after seeing only computer sculpts for weeks i was pretty excited to see a somewhat blurry photo of 20 actual minis and didn´t think further.
There are actually close-up photos of the Bone Golem and Veiled Master which i didn´t want to show so that Eric can do that.
And i want to see close-up pics of all the shown figures too so i can see if the sculpt is something i´m interested in.
Please people let me know if you´re offended by my revelatory guesses of minis then i will stop doing that.
I hope there is not too much damage done. :-(
Edit your post with this one....

if all the new iconics look as good as the pic suggests I might just try and finance them by flogging the first run to collectors.
To me in that pic I swear it looks like some of them are huge not large
But I guess not
I cant wait for more huge figure I quit buying minis and went to pawns but I display the huge's in my nerd cave so hope there will be more some day soon

They look huge because they are in the foreground.
I want HUGE minis too but sadly there are no news about that yet.The "Reign of Winter Monster Encounter Pack" is a good example for a bad choice of huge minis.
If this product would have sold better we would probably already have more packs like that...
Why was that a bad choice for huge minis? where they bad minis or just a bad choice of what minis to make?
They were both well made unfortunately the Svathurim was a very niche mini most people weren't terribly interested in.

The minis were good - but if it would have been a huge fire elemental and a huge water elemental (for example) it would probably have sold so well that wizkids would be eager to make more.
The way it is now we will probably have to wait a while longer for the next huge minis.
I´m pretty sure they will be made at one point because the market is there but it will take some time.
Yeah if they did four huge elementals like the larges im sure they would sell quick
This comes up every time Huge miniatures are talked about. I definitely think elementals would be the best starting point for more Huge pieces, and I feel like pretty much everyone here is in agreement. Erik himself has even stated he'd love to get the Huge elementals released.
It all comes down to Wizkids, and how willing they would be to bite on the idea.
