The way they did the Aurumach is just too cool. A close second goes to the Chef Vargouille just for comedic value. I also like the tabaxi demilich and the slot machine modron.
I was really excited for this set simply bc of all the Modrons! Particularly the slot machine! But I think I’m most excited for the Cranium Rats in Disguise. 😅
Wow .. a great set and a big mahalo for unboxing a brick for us! There a few great minis in this set... but like you I like bears (wink) ... so I have to say the Warden Archon is my fav. Can't wait to watch your next video!!
I gotta say, it’s hard to pick just one mini that really caught my eye but the constructs always are really cool, though that one that had detached arms was really cool. Love that sleek design and love how funny the Modron Slot Machine is. Makes me wonder how the heck they got modified for that function.
The Tabaxi Demilich is my favorite from this set I already have a Tabaxi noble and Lich from Twin Goddess miniatures so really cool to have him in in various stages of lichdom.
Warden Archon is definitely my favorite. I’d make them a werebear cleric in Greyhawk. Can’t wait for the next D&L review! I found their first ever kickstarter from you years ago and I’ve been with them ever since. Repainted caves-yes!
The Tabaxi Demolich and Wardon Archon are awesome. We just love minis like the sunflies, and we are glad to see monsters from Minsc and Boo's Journal Of Villainy.
Surprisingly for me the Aurumach was my favorite! I don't know what use I'd have for it but I love the dislocated arms from the shoulders and how it appears to be floating with the magic effect being what's keeping it up. A well done mini for sure!
I have been waiting for this video to hit youtube! Thanks a lot! As much as Planescape is my favourite setting, and I do love all the minis, there are several factors that leave me disappointed in this set: -Terrible idea to only have 6 Large Uncommons, not to mention 2 of those are Maelephants (Shemeshka's Bodyguard is one too). There were ample choices to include some Large Demons or Devils, or creatures like the Equinal and Nonaton and Septon. -Very bad rarity choices. The around CR19 Aurumach and Baernaloth that are solitary creatures are Uncommons, and the low CR Decaton and Ettin are Rares? Same goes for the smaller minis - the Hound Archon should have been a Common, as did the Monodrone, Kolyraut a Rare (there is only 1 in existence usually). The Deva base... erm Spireball player should be a rare for such a specific mini. The Darkweaver - a solitary, powerful creature - is a common? -No Dabus, Common Mercykillers, Dustmen? No Guvners (Fraternity of Order) bigwigs in their silly hats? Several Factols appear in the adventure and have artwork, not to mention famous Sigil NPCs too. I wish we could have gotten them. -Seriously, no Lady of Pain mini at all? -The designs are all great, I want as many of the Modrons as possible. The three Demodand types are also awesome, and I have waited ages to get Guardinals and Archons again, the minis are excellent representation of the art for the most part. I am also super happy to finally get a non-Rare Tridrone! I am hopeful that either the Vecna adventure, or the 2025 sourcebooks will have more Planescape creatures that would warrant a second miniature set where these missing minis could be released... and some of the rarities fixed. I mean, as someone who wants more than one Decaton it will be a tough job locating them for a good price since they are Rare, but I will be swamped by much higher level Octons I won't need that many of.
Filmed it before vacation but didn't have time to edit it. As you can imagine, these unboxing videos take awhile to edit properly. I'll save my full set thoughts for that video, but I definitely feel you with your criticisms of the set. There are a lot of weird omissions in the set. Wouldn't mind a premium Lady of Pain mini to go along with the set. Curious if we're going to see more Planescape minis in the future, and I'm dying to get my hands on the Vecna book and set. I think it's the most excited I've been for a D&D book in awhile.
@@TheGallantGoblin Yes - if they went through the trouble of making a Characters set, why not include some actual characters in that? Only Shemeshka, Morte and Fell in that set are NPCs, the rest are generic faction members (and a Guardinal). Feels like a miss that we only have the Musteval there. I'd love to get more of that adorable mousey dude! It is possible some of the minis were cut from the set to be moved to the Vecna - Eve of Ruin set. We do know a regular (not dressed) Eater of Thought was supposed to be in the set, there is a render of it on the back of the Limited Edition set! Oh same as you, I wish I could be Todd Kenreck who in the latest WotC interview says he read the whole adventure now and is all amazed by it. The preview images show a LOT of classic characters, locations, items and creatures returning -Lord Soth, Mordenkainen, Tasha, Alustriel, Strahd, Acererak, Miska the Wolf Spider, the Rod of Seven Parts... I am considering to preorder it, I am so excited about the story and lore! And it is indeed possible the Lady of Pain will be in that book and assist you. She has a quite big beef with Vecna, for sure, given how he was the only god ever to make it into Sigil (on a technicality - he was not yet a god when he arrived).
I do love the Warden Archon, they look so stern but yet I still want to pet those little ears. Not surprised the tabaxi demilich remains a favorite though, totally a top tier mini.
07:16 - Surprisingly, there is no art in the book of the Tabaxi Demilich. You encounter him pretty early in the adventure, in the Mortuary, he is one of the Dustmen and is stuck writing euology poems for the dead - you need to help him come up with good rhymes. :D
Might be one of those circumstances when art was commissioned but not included in the final book for one reason or another. It's rare for WizKids to create minis when there isn't an art reference.
@@TheGallantGoblin Yes, most likely so. I was a bit disappointed that unlike a lot of recent D&D books, Planescape did not include any collection of sketches and not included art at the end, like Bigby Present: Glory of the Giants, or Rage of Demons did.
the modron slot machine !!! as someone whose grandparents lived in vegas while growing up - i'm in love !!! i even have a slot machine tattooed on my leg for my late grandma
Love that the vargouille has a chef’s hat and would probably make a one shot based on chef Boyardee just for it but my fav will have to be the one I think I could get the most use out of and that would be the baernaloth not even going into lore and just based on appearance it’s the stereotypical evil goat headed demon tho it is closely followed by the cranium rats could be regular rats could be part of a group that forms to be a mob boss fo a city’s criminal underground are they the escaped experiments/spies of a nearby mind flayer hive or all that at once

The demilich tabaxi is fantastic! What a fun alternative to just a human skull.

Love the Ettin Warlord! Never seen an Ettin like them!

Love the Tabaxi Demilich. The possibility of a Tabaxi Lich brings up sooo many ideas.
The warden archon is painted really well!
That Aurumach is amazing. That's got to be my fav. So elegant. The Warden Archon is pretty awesome as well.
That one is my fave as well!
Loved the modron variety. Very cool selection there.
Gotta love the Modrons. That Octon is great!
The Tabaxi Demilich is my favorite from this set I already have a Tabaxi noble and Lich from Twin Goddess miniatures so really cool to have him in in various stages of lichdom.
I must say I love the Maelephant. They look so much unlike anything else in DnD. And a Large mini is a good mini
Cool video, thanks for sharing! I love the demilich! Tabaxi or not, that scream gonna TPK you!
Hell ya!
I love all the drones tri, mono, duo! Their lore is so interesting to me plenty of storytelling potential!
I have 2 favs , the tabaxi demilich , and the baernaloth. Both are so unique . the Baernaloth can even be used as an Ice devil/demon .
Gotta go with the Aurumach as my fav. That sculpt is beautiful! Thx Theo and Grady for another great video! 😁
That Ettin Warlord is awesome!! I also like the Warden Archon. Thanks for the unboxing.
Warden Archon is definitely my favorite. I’d make them a werebear cleric in Greyhawk. Can’t wait for the next D&L review! I found their first ever kickstarter from you years ago and I’ve been with them ever since. Repainted caves-yes!
Octon is so cool! My favorite for sure !!😃
My favorite is probably the bodyguard . Though it’s a tough choice.
The aurumach is definitely my favorite due to the floating arms! But the octon is sooooo cute!
The Tabaxi Demolich and Wardon Archon are awesome. We just love minis like the sunflies, and we are glad to see monsters from Minsc and Boo's Journal Of Villainy.
Also, the slot machine Modron is next level.
I think the Kolyarut is great, big General Greivous vibes!!! The Maelephants are great too!
Most excited for the Tabaxi Demilich!! Cool set, not into Modrons much myself, but happy for all who are! Great set for them :)
I think the duodrone is pretty cool, definitely a wonky looking guy
Dark weaver, simply its terrifying
The Aurumach has a really unique arm support.
The Warden Archon is my favorite. I like the paint on it. The Ettin Warlord is a close second though. It looks really cool with that armor!
The Baernaloth is my favorite you pulled. It looks like the perfect fiend to fight after negotiations break down.
Surprisingly for me the Aurumach was my favorite! I don't know what use I'd have for it but I love the dislocated arms from the shoulders and how it appears to be floating with the magic effect being what's keeping it up. A well done mini for sure!
The aurumach is beautiful but the Kelubar Demodand would work nice as some sort of demon or even the dragonflesh golem from Tome of Foes 2!
My favorite is Maelephant!!🐘 his armor is so cool!
The Aurumach is my favorite, like the creativity there!
The Baernaloth is absolutely sinister in lore and for its statblock! It would make a fantastic advisor or 2nd on command for the Big Bad Evil Guy!
I have to say the ones I want the most are the Demilich and the Baernaloth.

The Ettin warlord is my favorite
There are some cool minis there
Thanks for the opportunity
I do love the Warden Archon, they look so stern but yet I still want to pet those little ears. Not surprised the tabaxi demilich remains a favorite though, totally a top tier mini.
I really like the sculpt on the Aurumach!
Im excited for those archons!
Most exited for the modron. can NEVER get enough Modron minies!
The demilich tabaxi is such a creative and beautiful mini!
Super excited for the Ettin mini. Lots of past adventures use them and I can think of so may good scenarios to use it in. Also that razorvine blight
The tridrone is definitely my favorite. I could see it being used a lot in my ongoing campaign 😊
love the octone, it's so silly!
The Ettin Warlord is a nice change, but the swarm of sunflies might be my favorite from these pulls 😱
The Ettin Warlord is my favorite from the video, But I LOVE Modrons!
The aurumach was great, but I gotta go with the modron slot machine just for all the great interactions with characters it can ilicit
The Malefenant is my favorite. Cool concept.
Chains of asmodeus went up to level 20, an official 5e wotc adventure.
That Demilich is awesome! I like that we are seeing different types of monsters such as the Dwarven Helmed Horror from the Phandelver set.
The tabaxi demilich has to be my favorite. It looks so good!
Doomguard Doom Lord has a nice sculpt and weapon design, one of my favorites in the set.
Yeah, it's definitely a good one.
That tabaxi demilich is pretty unique. maybe we will see other versions in the future.
Honestly the Ettin Warlord is dope. Along with Kelubar Demodand, Octon, and Swarm of Sunflies.
yay modrons!!! dont know if like the slot machine one or the octon more. glad you like them too!
ooh kobold dice sets? im intrigued :D
Modron Slot machine... "I wonder how that Slots into the Hierarchy?"
I see what you did there, Theo.
I really liked the Ettin warlord, and could easily incorporate the razorvine blight into one of my games.
I liked the way the arms were done with the aurumach
Agreed!

That Baernaloth is beautiful!
the ettin first because you always need a good giant but the modron's are awesome anytime
Love the Aurumach! Thank you for sharing.
The aurumach and the maelephants are my favorite minis from the set
The Tibaxi Demilich is just cool.
I really like the look of the Octon
That baerneloth looks sick.
the modron slot machine !!! as someone whose grandparents lived in vegas while growing up - i'm in love !!! i even have a slot machine tattooed on my leg for my late grandma
Digging the Aurumach. Not familiar with it, but the mini design is nice 👍 . Tabaxi demi is nice, but that's just my love for cats talking.
Tabaxi Demilich goes dummy hard
Thanks guys!
I love the demolitch!!!!
Great video! Exciting stuff!
I would do awful things for the Tabaxi Demilich. Just sooo lovely!
Bummed, that it didn’t get pulled this time but Hands Down Best Mini is Cranium Rats in Disguise!
We’ll have it in the full set review. ;-)
Love the Duodrone!
The Demodand are my cup of tea. But man so many automatons will be great for my PF2 campaign inspired by Eberron
I was fully expecting to be smitten by some Modrons, but that Aurumach looks fantastic
12:33 "I wonder how that slots into the hierarchy..." - pun intended?
… yes… 👀
I don't know why, but I like the Kolyarut. Maybe because it has multiple swords with multiple arms.
The most gallant of goblins!
Both modrones and yogoliths are minis I need a lot more of
That 26U SHemeska's Bodyguard looks like Kar Dargo from Farscape in the face
Oh, great shout there!
Mezzoloth!
Oh really?
LEGO D&D sets?
Those might be very interesting.
The ettin warlord is definitely my favorite mini I love ettins
My favorite is the Yugoloth goat guy.
I rather like the Avoral and the Octon. I'd like to see more birdmen sculpts and The Octon is just cute.
Love that the vargouille has a chef’s hat and would probably make a one shot based on chef Boyardee just for it but my fav will have to be the one I think I could get the most use out of and that would be the baernaloth not even going into lore and just based on appearance it’s the stereotypical evil goat headed demon tho it is closely followed by the cranium rats could be regular rats could be part of a group that forms to be a mob boss fo a city’s criminal underground are they the escaped experiments/spies of a nearby mind flayer hive or all that at once
I think I liked the doom guard doom Lord the best.
Doh! I can't win (up north in Canada)! Anyways, my fave of the set is the Warden Archon!
Thanks for the video
oh YUCK!
The Dark Weaver looks too creepy!
Wouldn't a player slam a heavy book on it if they saw it?
For the Algorithm!
Sorry if you said this, but when does this come out?
April! :-)
I can't find the "Full Set" Vid for this set. Could you help me with this?
I’m behind with my full set reviews. There’s so much releasing lately that it’s hard to keep up by myself. But I’m working on them!
@@TheGallantGoblin Looking forward to it!
Demilich
I love your videos but that background music is killing me.
Thanks for the note! I’ll look into tuning it down or changing it up.
The cranium rats was the only mini I would even consider buying in this set. What a waste
