| Listed below are the Dreamblade (DB) minis found in the rulebook, on WotC's site and from pics of the minis posted from other sources. I will update this list from time to time as newer information comes available. Please post other minis and stats as you find them.
Notes:
1) The bases are color coded according to Aspect type-
Valor = blue
Madness = gray
Fear = green
Passion = purple
2) I was planning on using the following shorthand for describing the Blades indicators (if anyone else has come up with a different idea please post it here)-
B = Blade
BB = Double Blade
M = Multiblade
MM = Double Multiblade
3) I don’t know what the circle with the dot inside of it means but I assume it is one of the “miss” icons on the attack dice. For now I was going to call it O. Not sure if the two different dots on the attack dice will be called out differently in game text or not.
4) I have broken the list into two groups, those with a mini number (out of 96) and those without.
5) The Combined Cost category is a combination of Spawn Cost and Aspect Cost. This does not always reflect the total cost required to spawn the creature. If you have other creatures of the same aspect in play already the Aspect Cost portion of this number is reduced. The number of times the Aspect abbreviation appears reflects how many points it will cost (V = 1, VV = 2, VVV = 3 etc.). The abbreviations used for the Aspects are as follows:
Valor = V
Madness = M
Fear = F
Passion = P
6) A “-“ by itself in a category means that creature does not have that type of information.
7) We now know the following about the first set of 96 Dreamblade Minis:
7 Names
11 Names and Aspects
11 Names, Aspects and Partial Stats
29 Names, Aspects and Full Stats (minus a few #’s and rarities)
That’s information on 58 out of the 96 minis in the game, not bad for it still being about 4 months from the official release!
 Listed here are Dreamblade Minis whose Aspects and Stats are not known yet:
Ardent Zungar
Doomsinger
Forgeblind Punisher
Glorious Knight
Hellshrieker
Jack of Blades
Maniacal Gunman

That's it for now...

| To make notation easier we use 'B:' for blade and 'B B:' for double blade. We use 'M:' for multiblade.
For example:
B: Skirmish
M: Skirmish
B B: Crit 10
etc
You can decide if you want to use the same system.

| mdonais-
Great idea for short-handing the descriptions. I might suggest using the following though for simplicity:
B = Blade
DB = Double Blade
M = Multiblade
DM = Double Multiblade
If this works for everybody I will make the changes to the master list at the top in a bit.
Thanks for the responses guys! In the pics from Gamus 06 there are some more details to be found. I will try to get them posted as soon as I can. I will update the main list at that time as well. | |

| Why not include the minis from the sample warband on page 14 of the rulebook - the stats seem fairly complete?

I find:
B = Blade
BB = Double Blade
M = MultiBlade
MM = Double Multiblade
to be much simpler, at least to me.
On the spoilers, I don't think that, for example, 'Bodyguard - ?' is appropriate. It strongly implies that we don't know what Bodyguard does, when in fact Bodyguard is clearly described in the Glossary. Nor does it differentiate between one defined in the Glossary vs, say, Dissipate, the one ability that I've seen that isn't in the Glossary. (Reinforce Valor isn't explicitly in the Glossary, but it's pretty obvious how the rule changes with the keyword Valor in there.)
A little early to be saying what's good vs what's not, but man, that Fleshless Reaper seems to have pretty amazing stats. His power and cost are both 8?!

| To correct the stats, and answer my own question, Fleshless Reaper should have power 0, not Power 8. After looking through the pics from GAMA, it was clear.

| This is a very useful list, however it seems you're not recording the aspect costs for each mini? This is important as it has an effect on how hard it is to bring in a mini.
For example, you have the Noble Dragon as "Spawn Cost : 12".
Look at this picture:
http://www.gamingreport.com/gallery/d/10318-3/IMG_4889.JPG
It's clear that the spawn cost is actually 12V (where V = valor symbol). That means if you don't already have 1 or more valor pieces in play you have to pay 13 spawn points, not 12, to bring in the mini. Or at least that's my understanding.
I'm not sure how many of the minis in your list have associated aspect spawn costs in reality, but it looks like you don't have any, and I know that's not right.
I guess using V = Valor, M = Madness, etc, will work. So "8FF" means the spawn cost is 8 + 2 Fear, or 10 if you have no fear minis in play, or 9 if you have 1 in play.

I guess using V = Valor, M = Madness, etc, will work. So "8FF" means the spawn cost is 8 + 2 Fear, or 10 if you have no fear minis in play, or 9 if you have 1 in play.
Fenris,
I think you are correct. We will need to add in the aspect cost as some of them are very important (I think I saw several with 3 symbols). As each of the 4 areas starts with a different letter, then just adding the letter should work fine. | |

| Oh! So you do, my mistake.
I suppose it is better to leave those in different fields for purposes of eventually putting this into a searchable database or XML or something. I'm just thinking of it like a magic card cost: 3UU means 3 generic mana and 2 blue, for example.
Sorry! | |

| No problem! I do that all the time.
I will be adding the missing Ability descriptions sometime today as I have time. Also, when I make a change to the list I will post what those changes are so it is easier to figure out. | |

Probably worthwhile to store it in multiple formats, actually. Having a condensed cost is useful for viewing (6MM, for instance), and keeping them separate good for filtering. So we could go with three fields:
Spawn Cost
Aspect Cost
Combined Cost | |

| Great idea DaemonKain.
I will add that to the list the next time I update it.
I have the list typed up in Excel as a chart with catagory headings and as a list in both Excel and Word. If anyone wants a copy of these files just shoot me an email.
Anyone know how in Excel to make a row or column stick to the window so you can move up/down and left/right and still be able to see what the catagories are for each row or column? | |

| Hmm, why don't you go ahead and send that to me? I can whip that into a good browser a lot quicker than I can update Bifur - too much custom code in it, and I haven't played in VB in a long time....

| I think it would be much easier to read if costs were listed as:
Spawn Cost: V8
rather than
Spawn Cost: 8
Aspect: Valor
Aspect Cost: 1
It saves space and is self-explanatory.
M= Madness
V= Valor
P= Passion
F= Fear
If new Aspects come out we can do what Magic did and use other letters.
(Black= B, and Blue= U)
I don't see any downside to this notation system. | |

Spawn Cost
Aspect Cost
Combined Cost
I don't think you want to make an attribute out of Combined Cost. Rercall that the Aspect Cost represents only a potential cost in addition to the Spawn Cost. If you meet the requirements specified in the Aspect Cost, you don't have to that cost at all, but only the Spawn Cost.
For a figure with Spawn 3/Valor 2, your actual cost to bring into play will be either 3,4, or 5 Spawn points, depending on how many Valor minis you had in play.

| Yeah, I understand that it's only a potential cost, I was just suggesting that the combined cost would be something like:
5MM
Which is easy to display, and easy to parse when you are looking at it in a list or database. It seems like a common warband building issue will be balancing splashing a critter or two that would be outside of the normal two aspects you might choose for your band. Anyway, we can work it however we want, but if we add the field now, we can just not display it if we don't need it later. | |

| I have updated the list with the following changes:
1) Added a Combined Cost reflecting the mini's Spawn Cost and Aspect Cost combined together.
2) Updated Ability definitions out of the Rulebook.
3) Reordered the list a bit.
I will send the lists I have to those who requested them previously in a few minutes.
Enjoy! | |

| Wow, I am VERY happy to have found this site. I have been trying to maintain a similar database located here:
http://dreamblade.tcgplayer.com/db/minis.asp?SetName=Base%20Set
It is great to see so many interested, and experienced people already discussing the game. | |

| As everyone else said, welcome.
I highly suggest you download vassal and try a few games out. I learned much more from playing the game than reading the rulebook. (Though reading the rulebook was enlightening too) | |

Flame Horrorwer (Looks friggin HOT!)
Tiamixec Battlelord
Knight of Autumn Gate (Hey look, its Ichabod Crane's buddy!)
2) Added a few names without stats.
3) Updated Malborn Croc's information.
4) Put the list in correct order (by #, then Aspect, then alpha).
