(Bought to gain out-of-print 1st Ed. miniatures) Laurel Bloodwood is pretty badass. Shiver... not so much. The new minis for Mok and Trenloe are very good. All of the monsters I had already from 1st Ed. vanilla. The Beastmen are very dynamic - I'm sure to eventually replace my master beastmen with these. Bane Spiders are a slight improvement (replacement masters again, probably). Razorwings have goofy chicken legs, but have their wings folded above them so you can actually have them standing next to each other in a corridor - much better.

DESCENT:JOURNEYS IN THE DARK (SECOND EDITION)- OATH OF THE OUTCAST (Bane Spiders, Beastmen, and Razor Wings) I bought this solely for the monsters. Those heroes are geting awfully lucky lately...

Oath of the outcast was a pack I purchased at the same time as Treaty of Champions and though I like this pack, it falls a little shorter than the aforementioned pack. In Oath of the outcast, you get 4 heroes and 3 new monsters groups. The heroes include Trenloe, a name that sounds like a brand of floor bleach, Elder Mok, a character so good that you may hide him if you are playing as the overlord, Shiver, which is a godawful song by Coldplay and Laurel of Bloodwood who I honestly forgot about. Out of the heroes, I think Trenloe is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills Ettins and doesn't afraid of anything. The monsters however sit on an awkard fence where they aren't bad so to speak, but they are forgettable. You get Bane Spiders who are pretty big guys, Beastmen because Skeletor didn't pay well enough and Razorwings which are just really big bats. As an Overlord player, I see these and almost always disregard them immediately, not because they are bad, but they are only really a passing grade. Overall, I feel as though Oath of the outcast is a good pack, perhaps worthy of a bit of a look if you want to add more to Descent, however I feel there are better packs out there. Who am I kidding? You're going to get it for Elder Mok anyway!
