Brother Tancred Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was just flicking through the starters manuel in the Dark Vengence set and on the last double page telling the new gamer where to go next there is a picture of the rulebook and some codexes. As I looked closer the DA captain on the front had a different weapons loadout in a powerfist and bolt pistol :woot:. It looks really cool, probably the artist did a couple of different designs before the plasma/sword combo was decided but just thought it was interesting :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caietan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just checked; the German edition has the normal cover on that page. Care to post a scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a scanner but took a quick pic, http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0577.jpg Hope you can see it ok, pg 49 in the How to play 40K book of DV set.

Captain Semper Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Cool... Just received the box but didn't have the time to open - saw the postman bring it in as I was walking out to get to work... :) I think this looks awesome - but still the sword makes for a better cover...

bevulf Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Meh, he looks awful with a power fist - baseball player - he looks way better with a power sword but that's just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's not a power fist. It's pretty obvious he's a librarian, what with the glowy head and everything. Artists tend to forget things like armor color and such when making stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists tend to forget things like armor color and such when making stuff. The glowy head is in a kind of halo shape, you see. And underneath that...energy field, it's probably made or iron. Or represents iron. That said...what are those tubes coming from his gorget... I guess GW magnetise, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemid Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I really like everything about the cover except how utterly awful the proportioning/perspective is. Seriously, it looks like he has a child's right arm grafted onto his body, it's so tiny in scale to the rest of him. It looks like it'd barely get to his waist if he hung his arm.

SPWolf12 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I agree the arm is too small compare to the rest of the body. I did not notice until you mentioned it though. I also liked the one with the sword better, that fist does not look that menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists tend to forget things like armor color and such when making stuff. It's pretty obvious that his fist is far too big to be anything but a powerfist, unless GW plan to make a force fist weapon :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, force thunderhammer...wait, that's too close to a daemonhammer, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'd say it's a power fist that's actually too small... It's too large to be a regular hand compared to the one that is holding the pistol. Glowing head? Iron halo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his right arm, who the :jaw: knows if it's too big or too small! :jaw: My impression was always power fist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caietan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I also think that I like the final version with the sword more. Still, thanks a lot for posting the pic, Brother Tancred! It's interesting to see a piece of rejected art from GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
