Death Knell
The Death Knell product page is up at the Wizards site. From it:
The Deathknell Expansion Pack contains a randomized selection of figures designed to expand any collection of Dungeon & Dragons miniatures. The figures in this set will be chosen directly from key D&D titles, including Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead, Monster Manual III, Complete Adventurer, the Eberron Campaign Setting, and the classic D&D adventure, The Temple of Elemental Evil.
Comments:
It should be noted that almost exactly the same text appears on the product info for Giants of Legend, Archfiends and Dragoneye.
Basically, any D&D Miniatures release contains miniatures based on current products and those of previous rulebooks - especially the core rulebooks. To my eyes, the majority are core book inspired. In the case of PC miniatures, I don't think their source makes any difference in the majority of the time - it's a character race + weapons and armour, in effect.
In Giants of Legend, we find classic monsters such as the Fire Giant, Frost Giant, Manticore, Blue Slaad and Otyugh. In Dragoneye there were a Giant Spider, Dragons (!), Gargoyle, Harpy and suchlike.
The wording says "including" - by no means does it exclude the core books and other classic monsters.
Of course, we will also see new monsters, for the history of D&D has been a history of adding new monsters to the game.
