   Miniatures for the bosses rather than tokens plus more tactical choices for the overlord make these a must have.

   No reason to ever play without the miniatures once you have them. They are much nicer than using the lieutenant tokens. This is one of the better looking figures out of the base game lieutenant packs. This is the first mini I ever painted all by myself. Still haven't played with the new cards and tokens yet.

   At least one lieutenant pack is necessary for any Overlord playing Descent. The game is more than a bit unbalanced in favor of the heroes and these provide more options for the Overlord that might give him a bit of a fighting chance. These lieutenant packs contain a deck of cards, tokens, and a plastic miniature. The deck of cards provides the Overlord with some additional options by spending tokens that he earns through adventures. This eventually swings back in the favor of the heroes a little bit because after spending these tokens they are given to the heroes to use for small bonuses. An Overlord can only use one lieutenant pack per campaign so I haven't used them all but have bought many due to the awesome plastic miniature to replace the cardboard token representing most of the villains in the game. One day I plan to paint them all but that is more of a pipe dream than attainable goal...
