Resculpts policy
: When *I* use the word resculpt, I'm using a technical term we found useful here in the R&D minis team. By "resculpt," I mean "new sculpt of a creature that uses the exact same stats as the creature was previously published with." There are two resculpts in Aberrations.
Now that we're a bit farther along, so far as I can tell, there are no resculpts in set 6 or set 7.
Mike Donais used the term resculpt more loosely in a previous post on this board. He was using it in this sense: "new mini that has a similar name and a similar look to a creature we've already published."
In practice, here in R&D, we don't refer to those as resculpts. They've got all new stats to go with their spiffy new sculpts. Often they accomplish very different things than earlier creatures of the same general type. Obviously we prefer the new-mini approach to the resculpt approach, and hopefully most of you will too.
As to large and cool uncommons, I don't think anyone will be disappointed with sets beyond set 5.
