Thank you for the reply. I brought up the Dark Sword metal range because I was under the impression that company was sculpting the minis for the game, and it seemed reasonable to expect that they would be compatible with the existing metal ones, which would make them useful outside the board game. The inconsistency you refer to, on the other hand, is, in any event, disappointing. Presumably several sculptors' work is featured, rather than the two or three, including Tom Meier, who sculpted the metals.
