The new one might be Large (also looks like its a Black Dracolich; original was a Blue one), but again, that mini hasn't even been produced yet. Deathlock is another one, but only as a common hero or something, because if its a squad it would be Deathlocks, 10 letters.

Skull Lord is 9 letters, but Gbob's asterisks had the spaces laid out, and there wasn't a space between the first 9.

Devourers fits, but there's only one large one and a medium visceral devourer, so that doesn't work.

Vampires, Shadows, Shades, Wights, Ghouls, Banedead, Wraiths, Ghasts, stalkers, all too short.

boneshards, poltergeists, too long.

Caller in Darkness almost works, but 3 letters short on the first one.

We know its not skeletons or mummies. Its not a flame skull, not a burning skeleton, not a Zombie White Dragon, not a Vampire Dire Wolf, not a Dread Warrior, not a bone golem or bone guard.

I was looking at the wikipedia article about the undead creatures from D&D to look for more possibilities. Would baelnorns be very likely candidates for being the mysterious undead unit? I don't really know anything about D&D lore and couldn't find any sculpts, but would it be possible to repaint some elves to be Baelnorns? I also have no idea of how powerful they are, so I'm wondering what you guys might know.

Yes it has been well received. We will have some previews for you all shortly.

Hey 2x, Baelnorns, if made would belong to Ullar or Jandar, since they are "good" guy undead, made to serve their families. They can summon lesser undead, can paralyze, and do a bunch of other undead powers.

More underdark races would make sense to me too, maybe dark dwarves? Not like Utgar needs any more fattening up I know...

I remember in a thread or somewhere about estavera, someone asked, "So we are going to get spiders"? And GBob said, "Yes, big ones." So I am pretty hiped about that.

Spoiler Alert!

He's pretty big. Too big for a booster I think.

I would love to see a marro custom with this guy.

I am really excited...finally get to see what you guys are all talking about!


I don't know what it is about D&D 'scape but we just picked up BfTU and my son loved it. He seemed more interested in the characters and had more questions about D&D and wants to give that a try. I think WoTC put some magic powder in the packaging, that when he opened it he forgot all about "the other" 'scape.

Lets not jump the gun here. The statement was actually more along the lines of "Now we need more spiders," and Grungebob said "yes, big ones." That can't be assumed to mean 'yes, its happening.' It's more like 'yes, I agree with you, we need to look into doing that in the future.'
