Looks cool, so it is basically a compilation of monsters, a little bit of background/fluff for them and stats from D&D? Any idea what edition this was from? 1st or 2nd?

I definitely remember some super weird ones though. Almost positive this was for first edition, and I kinda remember reading that it was basically a compilation of white dwarf articles before it became strictly WH. That might be incorrect though. |

Yeah, it's like brand new. Just sitting on a shelf staring at me!
Reading the descriptions of different monsters in that book (and the monster manuals) is a super fun activity for me! lol
Love the underwater version of the Umber Hulk in this book.

Are the lava children in that book?
One of the books has a bunch of weirdo geometric shape monsters. Triangles with legs or something. Back in the day I hated those, but know I can appreciate how off the wall all those creations were.
The Cthulhu stuff in deities and demigods is also fantastic.

YES! Otherworld miniature is amazing. There is a new Otherworld miniatures that are just like these - a lot of their miniatures seems to be based on illustrations from the older D&D books. I bought there entire Hobgoblin and Bugbear range (by Kevin Adams). Check them out: otherworldminiatures.co.uk |
