Is "Elder Evils" one of the books slated for 4E conversion?

Via the free DDI updates?

I know Exemplars of Evil is, but I just found out Elder Evils contains one of my fave baddies ever- Zargon from B4 If so, I may pick it up on the cheap.

P.S. You'd think WOTC would have chosen to title these books differently to avoid confusion

Yup, check the news page for 6 July.

Elder Evils is a pretty decent book, too, by the way. I enjoyed reading it, even if I may never use it.

Zargon's in there, along with some other creative foes. Highly recommended.

I play/run Savage Worlds and a little 4e, and this is the only 3.5 book I went back and bought, and one of only two 3.5 books I'm keeping (Lords of Madness is the other).

I would love to see a Zargon huge miniature. Really, really would.

Heck, they could fill all eight huge slots with slimy tentacled monstrosities and I'd be quite happy

Oh that would be really cool.

The Quarren Assassin mini makes a decent Cleric of Zargon mini with just a little work IMHO.

Thanks for the link to that "review" Frank- unfortunately EE's "new spin" on Zargon kind of blows cunks I may just work up my own stats and whatnot instead of grabbing EE (and incorporate B4's other Deities into the cosmology of a homebrew setting I'm working up)

I actually prefer Holloways original piece to be honest. The new rendition is less menacing to me- lacks talons and his face has a kind of cute gorillia/monkey look to it
