Heh, ok, call me mini-obsessed, but here's another good D&D miniatures figure for Greyhawk use. Note the symbol on the shield

Dread Guard

Nice! Or it could be the fig for General Sindol of the Legion of Black Death.

Yea, the Dread Guard is a good fit for an Iuz minion, or even a Horned Society devotee.

I got lucky and got a Dread Guard in my first Archfiends Expansion Pack. Here are a few key stats:

HD: 5 (47 hp)
AC: 17
SQ: Construct Traits, resist cold 10 and fire 10.
CR: 3

Pretty cool.

dreadguards are crappy over priced constructs made from empty suites of armor (at least in D&D, I have never played WotC's miniature game).... however I can see using that mini as something else, a black guard or other evil warrior maybe.

Yea, you're right about the Dread Guard in D&D RPG terms, Wes. I think they are just used to fill pages in Monster Manual II. But, they are a good addition to a Mini's Warband.

Sheesh, wtf cares about what's written in the damn MM?

It's a cool looking mini with three skull emblems on it that could easily be interpreted as being the grinning skull device of Iuz.

Being a common figure in the minis Archfiend set, it will also be very easy to obtain as singles. Single commons go for between $0.50c to about $0.80c so it's a kick-arse figure all round that you can easily, cheaply, add to your Greyhawk game.

Go spoil someone elses thread.

I will "Spoil" what ever threads I want thank you....

I did say that they would be a good fit for a black guard or ewvil warrior type (the symbolism would be accurate for a Iuz servant)... I was simply expressing my dissatisfaction for the creature that it is supposed to be a mini of.
