I hope that the Highland expansion has no problems with card cutting,.. miss prints,.. or smudge's..

The Quality of the cards from the Frostmarch expansion was not so good..

Indeed. I had to send away for a couple replacement Frostmarch cards that were horribly miscut. :( Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Did you get a replacement for that?

I have only ask about the smudge card, but after ffg send the card, there was still a smudge on it..sad.gif

How horrible was it? Was there something missing from the artwork?

If i look to the Highland banner on bgg, i see icicles in the last row of the board.

This means that there is Ice..gran_risa.gif

The Icicles increase if you go towards the end.

Yeah, they did send me replacements. Mine were real bad. A few of my spell cards were miscut so bad they would have been unusable. The miscut took off the whole top border and some of the top of the card picture. It would have been obvious when one of them was on top of the deck. FFG replaced them pretty quickly though. They do have very good customer service. It sucks when something is wrong like that, but when the company is quick to fix it for you, that is very cool.

I was right about the Vampire....

Also, the Giant Eagle is on the approach to the Eagle King so he proabably is the character on the side.

Indeed.

It seems that i was right about the end boss gran_risa.gif

Good job aplauso.gif

A story about the Cover Box..

The disparate group battled it's way across the snowy wastes towards the aerie of the Eagle King,

and none of his flock were going to stop them...

This is the latest Talisman expansion.

Once again I had the challenge of trying to create a unified image with a very mixed bag of pre-existing characters.

The Giant Eagle provides a great backdrop for the characters,

with it's wingspan delineating the title and background elements seperate from them.

The backlighting from the setting sun helps provide mood,

and a strong light source to further define all the figures.

Sadly, i can't edit it anymore, and i don't want to make it a mess..

But you can add the link to your sculpting figure topic, then members of the forum can still find it..

Let's get back on-topic again gran_risa.gif

Wonderful art, but sad to find out that the giant eagle is not the new Eagle King, who I feel is not a very interesting character, oh well. Still, The Highland is going to be a great expansion I'm sure :)

If i look to the board on BGG, i see a large stone pillar, with smoke on the top..

Looking forward to this one, will have to get The Frostmarch expansion first though - can't get too far behind.


Sam

If i look to the board of the Highlands, i see a sort of wasteland on the first row of the board

On the last row, i see something that looks like a river space..

The full line- up is: Alchemist, Rogue, Valkyrie, Sprite, Vampire, Highlander.

That's awesome !!

I like the Vampire,Valkyrie, and sprite !

If i am right, the Rogue is nasty too ! gran_risa.gif

Not sure about alchemist..

Rogue was one of my favourite 2nd ed characters, much of it was down to art though.

I mean, come on, how cool is that guy:

After looking at his abilities, the Rogue looks fun to me.

But stealing spells is the only good thing that he has, so i hope he has some more interesting abilities in 4th revised edition..preocupado.gif

Like I said, he was one of my favourites, but that liking was purely based on art. Perhaps the coolest character art in the 2nd chars I remember seeing (Necromancer comes close).

I understand.

I was just quote your text and what saying what i think of himgui%C3%B1o.gifhappy.gif

Anyway, the Rogue on the artwork looks very good. He has a evil look.
