Cool! thanks for the pic!

haven't seen the Dwarf Sniper before:

Uh-oh!

Is that a gun????

Pristess is a'ight, looks pretty much exactly like our Ab. gnoll with a crazier face and some suggestions of boobs.

Here's to getting some STATS!!!! Star Wars sure knows how to do it. DDM should follow suit there.

It's a crossbow.

Hm, that dwarf sniper looks to be potentially awesome. And for limited play, replace "potentially" with "definitely."

Yeah, stats!

Maralith with 6 attacks and enhanced mobility 2 eh? Sienar, quick - build a warband with two of her!

Definately nice to finally see some solid stats previewed. I will agree about the Dwarf Sniper.

What do you think explosive shots means?

Thanks for the scoop! Nice Dwarf!

LG just got some cool ranged without having to add in a spell caster...

Is that a gun????

It looks like a mini-arcane balista.

Is that gnoll also carrying an axe? Come on women!

What do you think explosive shots means?

Maybe something like a fireball? Rad 2? adjacent enemies (to target)?

What do you think explosive shots means?

No mention of Slow Ranged Attack, and hopefully he won't have it. How embarrassing must it be for him to have a lower AC than the Storm Archer, though?

I just noticed the Demonic Gnoll Priestess has hooves. Anyway, with her and the Barbarian in the set, what are the chances we get an Aspect of Yeenoghu in Blood War?

Limited, yeah. Constructed? +9 (10 magic) for 34 points, even with precise shot and coordinated shot, just strikes me as seriously overpriced. Unless that "explosive bolts" thing is a real winner, I don't see the sniper going anywhere (Of course not, he's speed 4! Thank you, I'll be here all week).

Is that a gun????

It's a crossbow.

Or, for the gun-savvy in our audience: "It's a Dire Fiendish Smith & Wesson chambered for 3-inch wooden bolt rounds with metal alloy tips. An expert elven bowsmith has lightened the lever-pull and smoothed out its reloading action, and added night sights plus a competition-grade recoil compensator."

Interesting preview. The Pit Demon sounds like "What if we reduced the Cadaver Collector's damage output some and turned it into a commander?" -- It'll be interesting to see how that works out.

Marilith sounds like a fun beater. Maybe not so much on the engagement round, but on every round after that it should be a blast. Excellent defenses as well. I'm not a CE specialist, so I could be wrong... but this looks like an interesting alternative to the Hill Giant Barbarian in situations where you want to huddle down and hold a location (shared VAs, for example)?

Demonic Gnoll Priestess sounds like a tech-heavy figure. Interesting to see that, along with the upcoming Orc Wizard who also seems tech-heavy.

Bluespawn...looks like the paint master. Amusing.

As far as the Dwarf Sniper goes, this "explosive bolt" thing better be very impressive. Otherwise he'll be over 2x the cost of a Steelheart Archer, for virtually identical performance outside of higher defense.

Nice!

That priestess is pretty schweet and that dwarf is AWESOME!

if the explosive bolts are halfway decent the dwarf sniper might put this set over the top and make the dwarf themed band tourney viable.
rise of the non vertically encumbered!

Explosive shots were in the latest Dragon Mag w/ the ghost-whatever giant fighters. Forget what they add.
