This is a copy and paste from tomorrow's Ampersand article on DDI, there is a picture as well, but for some reason that won't go live until tomorrow, only the article will update tonight, but some interesting news nonetheless!!!

"So, Peter Lee, designer/developer of all things miniature and dungeon tile-like, sent me a picture that I just have to share. Actually, here’s what Peter’s note said:

Attached is a picture of Lords of Madness figures on tiles from the Desert of Athas tile set for your next Ampersand column.

The six figures are:

Cloaker Ambusher
Draegloth Abomination
Nalfeshnee Tyrant
Shardmind Dominator
Spell Weaver
Young Volcanic Dragon

All of these miniatures are also creatures found in Monster Manual 3.

I think mentioning that this is the first set from an all new team of sculptors would be good—it makes the set stand out as something different, and I think people will find that to be interesting. "

Nice scoop; can't wait to see the pics!

Hmmm... 6 figures... could they be one booster's worth of minis?

Cloaker Ambusher - very cool and useful
Draegloth Abomination - meh we have already two of them
Nalfeshnee Tyrant - long awaited and awesome
Shardmind Dominator - what is this ?
Spell Weaver - yeah, at last the manyarmed strange spellcasters arrive !
Young Volcanic Dragon - ok for me

so in my opinion:
3 very good miniature choices
1 ok choice
2 not wanted choices

its a good start for this "preview".

Very happy to be getting a shardmind!
All 6 are very cool figs.
I hope the Nalfeshnee is Very Rare.

Cloaker - WOOHOO!
Nalfeshnee - WOOHOO!

New sculptors! dunno if I'm excited about that, but I'm at the very least hopeful! :)

In Games Workshop each wave if new sculptors, except between 94-96, were better than the ones before. Most likely will be the case here. I don't pay attention unless the quality decreases.

I can't pull up the image- I just assumed it was because of my iphone. Steve Jobs (who got a liver transplant at the expense of another person because he is rich~ may he rot in hell) hates Flash & my iPhone has fits with it.

Young Volcanic Dragon means we've still got 2 elder dragons undeclared!

Heh, knowing Peter's style there will be one Metallic and one Chromatic Elder.

I'm not one to grovel, snivel and prostrate oneself but he knows his s@$& when it comes to designing a mini list and has done a hell of a job. If he had been in charge 3 years ago we might still have 3 sets a year.
