Now that we have all the statistics on all of the undead creatures we can start talking about what how these creatures can be integrated with other sets.
The Dracolich, the Disciple of Kyuss, and the Lich Necromancer all only have access to order cards with intelligence and charisma. This makes them seem fairly compatible with the Hobgoblin Sorcerer.
The Warrior Skeleton, the Zombie, the Skeletal Tomb Guardian, and the Skeletal Lancer all only have access to constitution order cards. These seem easy fits for the Hobgoblin Soldiers.
The Hypnotic Spirit is the first creature from any pack to only have access to charisma order cards. The Gravehound is the only to have access to just dexterity and constitution. And the Vampire Stalker is the only to have access to just charisma, dexterity, and constituion.
The end result is that each of these creatures add a great deal to the options we have in making new sets. Making a custom war band based on either intelligence, charisma, or constitution has just become much more viable. Based on what the creators have said about the game, I expect that this will become more true once we see the order cards.

I have bought a box and I was very surprised how much better all the miniatures where than their pictures would indicate. The effect of the Lich Necromancer floating on a transparent blue cloud is actually a compelling image. In pictures, however, I couldn't even understand the concept of the Lich. My favorite of the set are the Skeletal Tomb Guardian and the Skeletal Lancer. The best thing about the Guardian is how well he is painted. His bones seem so real. The Lancer is amazing because of his sculpt. His skeletal horse must have been molded separately from him because his legs are clearly separated from his mount.
All of these miniatures are very well done. And they are consistently scary. I am also impressed with the order cards. They all have great pictures and they will all be interesting to work with in a game.
Someone should also mention the commander cards:
Delthrin Everet

Cannot wait to open my packs  It is interesting that both Commanders just have a creature hand of 3. I guess this is the balance if you play with the original box against the older sets. The randomization will effect the games dramatically.
