A Strange Archer

Unread postby Angelspit » 12 Feb 2007, 16:49

A zoom on the background of the Heroes V boxshot reveals the presence of what could be an orcish archer. Thanks to Zénithale from the Archangel Castle who found this on a poster.

Wow...an orc! hmm... haven't noticed that before, thanks Zènithale!;) Then perhaps the orcs will be included in the next expansion pack :D

The pic doesn't show if you are following the link from the forum - it refers to the old (new?) domain and thus is a broken link.



Alright, I checked the Heroes V box cover and I do see the angel's sword but an orc archer? That pic must be taken from somewhere else, not the box. ;)



EDIT: Alright, I noticed the archer but he's more on the right on the boxshot. The poster has some differences.

Ubisoft have several versions of this background picture.

I don't believe I ever looked that closely at some box art .... or likely ever will ;-)

big head, small limbs, crooked demeanour... looks more like some kind of goblin to me! But like it more than the bog-standard warcraftian orcs!

Try to get some bucket with green color and paint it to politican of your free choice. See? ...

Orcs have many forms, mostly they can be sorted into piggitidies (pink to red skin), boarities (with preffering to having fur coat everywhere) and greenskins. A classic orc's colour. Image

What about copying the picture, open it in paint, paint a red circle around the naga, upload it on the internet and post the link here?
