Although I'm not a fan of the miniatures from the D&D board game, yea some of them would make for good substitutes (at least until you can get hold of some nicer miniatures)
The Bugbears should work quite well as Polar War Bears, but the Trolls and Ogres don't really look enough like the HQ/Warhammer ones for my liking and Gnolls are far to large to be used as Skaven
Consider using the D&D Goblins as Ice Gremlins

The Wraiths can be used with the Shadow rules I posted
Here (there are also Bugbear rules earlier on in that thread)
The Lich and Wights could work as extra zombies or the Wights could be used as Ghouls (see link above again)
Also worth nothing is that the D&D board game had an expansion called Eternal Winter, which contained Winter Wolf miniatures very similar to the Wolves in the HQ Elf Quest pack and an Ice Dragon that you could use to replace the Frozen Horror

~The ravings of a single mad Goblin is bad enough, but such a power-hungry, malice-filled creature as Mortis can never hope to be understood~
