They have grey horns and yellow eyes, so there's somethin'.

I'm not sure about availability, but please tell me I'm not the only person who has drooled over imagining these beautiful minis/awesome looking heroes on the 'Scape board:

Confrontation: Temple of the West Hero Box, $6 for two miniatures (who would be Hero units). Not bad, huh?

You are not the only one, elvenwizard9.
Those Temple of the West minis are nice.

I bought them with the idea of making my own minis (but I would more than welcome a more official unit if one were to be created or endorsed by C3V or Sov).

A quick search revealed a few more available on eBay (not sure if that helps).

Those are awesome. I created some customs for them. A leader and an aging wizard for my Army of Cathar. At one point, I considered submitting them to SoV, but the availability just didn't seem to be there.

That Knight is in my opinion the best knight in the Confrontation Rackham line-up, picture doesn't do it justice.

was thinking of making a custom King Baldwin IV, it would be interesting to see a "transformation" ability where he could get on and get off the horse, having it's pose rear up means it can stay on a single space, and is roughly about the same length as the templar cavalry's horses.

Those as Templar's Knights to help add more to jandar's Army

A very very important suggestion : find names (for the figures or for the powers) easy to translate in French !

More seriously, could someone rephrase the name "Shieldsmiths of Granite Keep" so that I have the right image/idea of this name into my mind, to translate it ?

Shieldsmiths: makers of shields.
Granite: a type of rock; connotations of strength and immobility.
Keep: fortress/bank/safehouse.

Edit. Additional thought: "Granite Keep" is the name of the place rather than a description; the latter would have resulted in "Shieldsmiths of the Granite Keep", which now I type it I realise could be read either way. But the way on the card only makes sense if Granite Keep is the name of a location.

Thanks !
As usual I think we won't translate "Shieldsmith"... as in English you're huge fans of well-sounded puzzled words with a nice signification, but not translatable as is. (ex: dragonspine, axegrinders, greenscales, ect...).

But with your additional thoughts... hum... I'm not sure if it's still pertinent to see it as Granite Fortress <=> London <=> Ullar Palace ... or more as "the Granite Fortress" <=> "the Rock cave" <=> "the woodden house".
Does it makes a difference ?

I use those figures as the good guy's wizard and champion when we play my advanced Battle Masters. I can tell you they are really cool figures in person.

While this is bumped, the D&D Icons of the Realms Starter Set is now available! $15 on Miniature Market!



CoolStuffInc has some shots of the individual figures... not the highest quality I've ever seen, but no worse than the average Heroclix. Scroll down on THIS PAGE. I think it's a good opportunity to get some underrepresented races in (Drow, Dwarves, our first Halfling) and I know how C3V loves packs for their heroes.

I saw that pack just today when I stopped by my FLGS. The mini quality is acceptable. Thanks for sharing.
