Stephen Schubert on the lack of uniqueness...

Stephen Schubert has commented on the lack of the Unique keyword on Strahd and Van Richten:

To be honest, when the minis were first designed, there was nothing in their mechanics that would require Unique, so from a mechanics perspective Unique wasn't intentionally added. That's not to say that it was intentionally excluded. Truly, both minis had enough going on that my focus wasn't on the omission of unique. From a world context and flavor perspective, it would make sense for them to be unique, and to have the Unique special ability. But no errata is currently planned for these two. There will be future uniques - including a couple in Night Below, though there's also a Lord of Blades-esque mini in NB as well.
