New DDM Cards for the board game minis ?

Hello community,
New user, first time poster Smile

Unless im mistaken, I thought I read recently that there would soon be DDM guild cards for the minis from the new WOTC board games: Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon and Legend of Drizzt.

I own all 3 of the games and really enjoy them.
New to DDM, I started playing with a few friends using the board game minis, which lead to purchasing DDM minis packs from the local games shop. Mostly Dangerous Delves and lords of madness since that was all they carried for w/e reason.

Using cards created by the DDM guild designed specifically for the board game minis is a great idea that im really looking forward to.

I was wondering if anyone knew if this was actually true and if anyone knew more information about it, or a place where I could learn more about it.

The only info we have is this quote from our Guild Leader Tried:

"Not the appropriate forum, but what the hell, I'll leak something. Next minis cards to be released will be rules and stats for new sculpts from the board games.
Before the equinox.
There will be surprises."

So, yes, it seems we will be getting stats for the Board Game minis.

TY for the info, cheers Smile

The one small problem I've been having mixing DDM minis with the board game minis, is that that name/figure for the BG minis dont always match their origional counterparts.

For example, the figure named Zombie from castle ravenloft uses the terror wight mini from wardrums. The figure named Duergar guard from WoA uses the Duergar warrior mini from archfiends. As well as Wraith/lurker wraith, ghoul/gravetouched ghoul etc.

I've been trying to decide in these cases, should I use the card name that matches the name on the base of the figure (CR zombie = zombie card) or should I simply use the card that belongs to the original mini (CR zombie= terror wight).

Im thinking the card name should match the mini name in which case id love to see new DDM cards for the the proper named minis such as ashardalon, gravestrom, methil, Yvonnel Baenre, and ofc jarlaxle.
