I've just had the final version of Dux Bellorum's cover sent to me by Osprey Publishing. This looks superb to me, and very much an Osprey-style cover. It oozes atmosphere.

As a game designer, it's great to see the final cover art that's going to appear on your game, especially when you've not had to draw it yourself (!); I've always been excited about how my games will look in print, from the more humble Glutter of Ravens: Warfare in the Age of Arthur right up to Andrea Sfiligoi's wonderfully colourful Song of Arthur and Merlin cover.

All. Very. Exciting.

You're soooo lucky you got a McBride cover! Congratz!!! Every single one of his paintings are so amazing, I'd love to own an original.

Hi Shnar,

It's not actually a McBride painting, but it's got the same brooding atmosphere eh? The artist is this chap, who I think is new to Osprey:

José Daniel Cabrera Peña

Inside, there will be plates by Angus McBride and others from the Osprey library. Worth buying for those even if you don't play the game laugh

Cheers.
