Oh, a new round)) Sorry for maybe bad English.
1) As you once said yourself, "Probably what the archdevil looks like right now," - and you have a point, as AL in CoH clearly have treats of H5 Devils. I must make a comment about the size of this creature - here we see a giant, in DoC login screen - a small variation. I guess as a spawns of Chaos, there isn't any "standart size" for them - and wings are clerly decorative, they can't make him fly. Also, am I the only one who thought "Wow, Gandalf and Balrog, "You shall not pass!"
P.S.: there are other references to Khazad-Dum scene, that popular Gandalf frase is the description of Ice Wall card.
2) That's an Altar of Asha card - you can deduce that by the visuals of the altar, which reminds Asha's tail (but I have this cart, yeah =P). Strange, there are purple flames (I thought it will be a different color, for purple is Malassa's color). Also, that priest prays during full moon, which may indicate that he/she is from White Weavers order, that venerates Life Aspect.
3) What can I say... that's Regeneration card, and we see Jaguar Warrior battling Vampire Knight. Orc seems missing his second claw on left arm - maybe he didn't have it at all or losed it during the fight. Here we also see difference between Light and Earth healing - Earth can stitch lost limbs!
4) That's Blood Pool. Aparrently, for Dreamwalker's Blood Magic. How many orcs/goblins were sacrificed to full this pool?))
5) Curse of Penitent, if I spell card's name correctly. Got it yesterday) Darkness magic that apparently causes mass suicide and can influence even the orcs, who have very strong spirits. Also, that card follows with Herald's frase, which indicates that this spell may mainly be used by Nethermancers, rather than any other traditional wielders of Dark magic.
6) Well... Dreamreaver. The only thing that came to mind is that he has his right arm demonic, not left, but "change of sides" happens with a lot of cards (Seraph-Celestial, Dreamwalker-Dreamreaver). Their description has nothing new.
7) Oh, Blind Brother card! Finally, their art. Their's a clear reference to Moon's fases, even mask shows black/white colors. Also, one may think that they're not actually blind, but Compendium states they are. Also, this Brither's staff strangely imitates Spider's pattern, don't know what that means. His description is rather... apocalyptic 
8) Challenge Hall, Deep Naga (aparently Kenshi) fighting Praetorian. We see Eight-Petal Lotus on the floor and 3 statues - Snow Maiden, Pearl Priestess, Naga Warlord (maybe Samurai). As one can think, that's a place where young Nagas challenge their Masters, anf I don't think only in the art of battle. It's description shows a quote from Takana, likely not so Honorful naga))
9) Kelthor, Lord of Fury. Panther Warrior riding, eh... Shadow Panther, maybe. What's intricate here - his mask: apparantly Chieftain's. And one can think that all Panther Warriors are apparently Blood reputation...
10) "More than likely, the result of a dreamwalker failing to control his chaotic urges during the initiation ritual. The H6 shamans only feature a tainted arm, apparently there are worse cases" (C) Elvin )))) Seriously, nothing more to add.
11) Shi-no-Shi, Deep Elder Wyvern who's been prison keeper of Shanriya. Interesting, now all Wyvern are blind (even standard Wyvern art has no eyes); in H5 times, only Pao-Kais are. Also, this Wyvern is considered immortal for unknown (for me) reasons. I know you don't want stat things, but his are 666, Devil's number ))
12) Surpise Attack card, featuring a Blackskull Orc killing a Maniac. Also has description of Goblins' "tactic".
13) Giant Tsunami swallowing a great number of orcs, cyclopes, etc. Has a Dragon likeness - and not of Dragon Eel's))
14) Banshee card. New Banshee in Ashan, more traditional, no ties with H5 Banshee except Wail thingy. This creature has Amulet of Necromancy on her neck and incorporeal ability, but visually I wouldn't say she is.
15) Xorm, Champion of the Abyss and damned he be, Juggers on the first round!!!! Oh, he also rides a small Abyssal Worm and has a flag - I remember in H5 demons had theirs on back, not in hand) This one, most likely, is Chaos Lord.
16) Yukiko, Seeker of Honor. The only thing I want to tell - is she Naga Deathseeker, riding a Kirin???? Or she somehow managed to ride him and stay alive? Or she never end her ride to not pay the price?))
17) Marksman's helmet, orc's club, Pit Lord's Vorpal Blade, Naga Silksword, Necro sword, Dwarven Hammer and, maybe, shield. By the way, Gold or Experience?))
18) Well, I see Sword of Wolf, Craggy's Helmet, Iridescent Pearl, many Potions, Thunder Amulet and Warping Amulet (not sure about the name, but is part of Trikster's set).

I did not know if I wanted to make these a joke or not.. Lets try both :-)
1) The Abyssal Lord, a very strong and dangerous creature must be thinking "Who the He** left this pin on the ground"
2) The Altar of Asha, an epic fortune card, But why is it purple. I smell an Darkelf tager around.
3) Regeneration spell card, Bonus question from where is this very fitting goute "A Regenerator, A fricking regenrator!"
4) Blood pool fortune card. "So, the Jaguar lost, I hope this nice warm soup could make those stinkers go away"
5) Curse of Penitent spell card, rather wierd to use and not really effective. Why would anybody attack himself with his deffencive value anyway.
6) Dreamreaver, a rather strong stronghold creature. This particular one looks like hes speaking to some young orc "Hey KID, come here and give an old man a han"
7) A Blind brother card. "Hey could anybody help me with this book, poking out my eyes wasn't the best idea I had"
8)Challenge Hall fortune card. Fun fact about the card game. The Setinel would actually win:-D
9) Kelthor, one of the Heroes. I actualy dislike this card, it looks like a collage of 2-3 different artworks. His head looks just unfitting
10) Tainted orc, One of the best common creatures. "This is how I feel when I'm in a moshpit"
11) A Shi-no-Shi. Hell I love this creature Theres just no way to kill it for good:-D I think it could take on a T-bird any day
12) A Surprise attack fortune card. The ugly thing in the back is a Black Skull Warlord. Here you get to see one of the Black skull orcs, a tribe damned even by their own kind for worship a powerfull Chaos vien, that changes their bodies.
And BTW, this is how I LOOK when I'm in a moshpit
13) A tsunami spell card. "Everybod's surfing, surfing P-A-O-I."
14) A Banshe. This is how a singer in a metal band look during a concert.
15) The mighty Hero XORN on a generic Epic mount 17. How does he even controle that thing. Sword in one hand, baner in the other one. I bet this is just a pose and he gets knocked of like in a rodeo. ... hmm abyssal worm rodeo who wants to join :-P.
16) And here we have a Naga hero Yukiko on a generic Epic mount number 5. Is it just me, or is this just a really bad artwork, Looks much worse then all other in the game.
17) the fortune card Weapon supplies. Well it looks like gold is a common Weapon on Ashan. I wonder if they load it in gons or just drown people in it :-D
18) the Market of shadows event card. Not much to say. But hey, It's green:-P.

When I looked at the pictures I started to think that many songs sums up what happens pretty well. Some pics have no relevance for RL so I skipped them (i.e. I'm in a hurry so I can't find something for all pictures) Here we go!
1. You shall not pass, obviously. Very creative sampling of random sounds effects from the films put together, and it almost works which makes it a bit unique.
2. Carried away by a moonlight shadow. Lost in a riddle that Saturday night, far away on the other side.
4. Sweet Dreams are made of this.
6. Enter Sandman - Take my hand, we're off to never ever land!
7. Daysleeper. It's amazing that this bald R.E.M.-member wearing glasses inspired a Heroes game!

Judgement time! Here my take on the artwork, before I grade you individually.
1)
Quite possibly what the archdevils look like right now. Notice the leg structure, quite similar to the H5 devils.
2)
Altar of Asha as one could guess from the presence of the moon and its somewhat familiar shape.
3)
A regeneration spell at work.
- Hey hero, I need a hand over here!
4)
A blood pool, orcs are notorious for their sacrifices and blood magic.
- Mmm, tomato soup..
5)
Curse of the penitent, makes enemy units harm themselves.
- Oh ****, the big guy lost his head!
6)
An inverted dreamreaver as is the tendency for upgraded units in DoC. His tainted hand should have been on the other side normally Notice the fire effect, contrary to H6 where it was earth based. In might&magic X legacy they use fireballs as well.
7)
A quite literally blind brother. The moon and spider symbol were pretty much a giveaway. If memory serves the description of Asha's eightfold staff mentions the blind brothers.
8)
A naga Challenge Hall. Naga honour dictates that they cannot walk away from a challenge, if you remember a demon lord used that against Irina in the campaign. Her troops would not follow her if she ignored him.
9)
Kelthor, lord of fury. A curious case as he pretty much looks like a might hero(he's a freaking panther warrior!) yet he wears a tears shaman mask. For the record he wields fire and air magic and has a rage special.
10)
A tainted orc, having succumbed to its demon blood. It lives only for carnage.
11)
That thing is an apparently humongous immortal wyvern(Shi-no-shi) that has been keeping the shanriya nagas secluded in their icy area. These guys can sure grow a lot! In the game it is immune to death effects and always returns to your deck after dying.
12)
Surprise attack, a stronghold fortune. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed that this is the first time we actually see blood in heroes.
13)
Tsunami, high level water spell. Note [url=http://static9.cdn.ubi.com/en-US/images/shalassatcm1962283.png]Shalassa[url]'s watery head
14)
Banshee sure has changed since H5. Bonus for those who recognized the amulet of necromancy.
15)
Xorm champion of the Abyss, riding an abyssal worm. Notice the uroboros symbol on the worm's belly.
- Damn kids will pay for drawing graffiti on my ride.
16)
A yuki onna riding a sacred kirin, what are the odds? Sadly once her mission is over the kirin will claim her life, that is the deal for riding a kirin.
17)
A weapon supplies fortune. You can see a mauler club, a pit fiend sword, a kenshi katana, a marksman helmet and an assassin blade. Also an imperial guard's shield and an unidentified hammer, possibly dwarven.
18)
A black market, easy to guess with all those artifacts lying around. Plenty of artifacts shown as bone spaulders, Crag's helmet, dragon eye pendant, evercold icicle etc plus some Dynasty Weapons like Malathua's cleaver.
Answers will net 1 points if acceptable, 2 if very accurate or creative. The score itself isn't very important, just a vague impression of how well you handled it in your own way. But not today, already late and I have been through a double training session  Elvin be dead tired.

I don't remember that to be honest, it cannot have been that bad. Can it..? So back to work, decided to keep things simple and just give +1 for acceptable and +2 for good. Enjoy 
@Adrius +16pts
1. Wait, Inferno has other things than Juggernauts and Ravagers?
- They admitedly bear a resemblance.
2. Not sure if imba.
- I don't think it is.
3. Wish it was viable.
- Yeah me too.
4. ACAMAS DEMANDS MORE BLOOD, MORE DEATH, MORE GLORIOUS CARNAGE.
- YES! +1pts.
5. Naga 'tink dey so spehzul wit fanzy seppuku, Orc knows too, Orc da bestest.

8. ****ing annoying Naga fortunes.
- Yes they can be.
9. DO WANT.
- Gotta love the guy
10. Tainted steroids, now with 500% more MINOTAUR TESTOSTERONE!

11. **** YOU ICEEEEE MAGIIIIIC!
- I know the feeling +1pts.
12. SURPRISE BUTTSE-no wait that's my hammer, I keep getting it mixed up.

1:Haven knight confronting a large demon with a scimitar-like weapon. The demon has wing-like things on its back and plenty o' spikes. Devil mayhaps?

2: Humanoid in cowl, praying to an altar suspiciously shaped like the Arachne sword.

- A good observation, this pic is inverted +2pts.
7: Priest like human in black and white outfit, with his eyes covered and holding a book and what looks to be Sandro's Staff. Academy at night in the background? Blind Brother?
- Bingo +2pts.
8: Preatorian and Kenshi fighting in a large hall. Statues and architecture imply the hall is of Naga origin.
- Correct +1pts.

11: Paokai bursting out of a block of ice.
- A unique kind of wyvern that one +1pts.

13: Stronghold army drowning/being hit by in a tsunami.
- Correct +1pts.
14: Undead female (Necromancer?) with the Amulet of Necromancy round her neck having an epileptic fit/being attacked by magic/going insane.

Simpelicity +16pts
1)
That's one big demon, he looks ravagy but isn't. Also he has decorative wings, amusingly enough. And his mouth and nose seem to be the one hole, which is kinda disgusting, except it's all fire for him so I guess it turns out fine in the end.
- Inverted wings are a thing in Sheogh, guess it's an allusion to fallen. Pit fiends, the H5 succubi..
2)
That would be an altar, but a weird one. Looks like a human worshipping it, but it's definitely not Elrath, so I dunno what god this is to. Makes me think of the spider a little, but just 'cause the altar looks bony (like a spine maybe). Purple's also one of their colors (fires are purple).
- Not so much.
3)
That would be a vampire and a jaguar warrior. It also looks like the jaguar's arm is either being drained by vampy or being regenerated (both effects would look green). Vampire doesn't look like he's doing anything else than staring, but the green effect looks more aggressive than regeneration would, so I really dunno.
- It's regeneration, vamps cannot drain from a distance +1pts.
4)
That would be a dreamwalker having fun with a pool of blood. And by having fun, I mean using some kinda magic. Also I'm saying walker instead of reaver 'cause his headgear looks more green than red.
- +1pts.
5)
Poor mind control victims killing themselves. That's not possible in H6, at least not this directly. The units are a goblin (up front), what looks like an orc, and what looks like a cyclop in the background ripping his head off. Those last 2 don't look like their H6 design (imo), but the cyclops has the same weapon and only 1 shiny eye. If the other 2 are stronghold units, third one prolly is, and orc looks the closest. Still not entirely convinced but I'll go with it anyways.
- The middle one is a crusher. I know, not very clear +1pts.
6)
That's a dreamreaver (red headgeear) with a fiery background. His demon hand changed sides from the (presumably) walker image earlier, I never noticed if that's the case in H6 or if they just applied artistic license and decided to have the right arm be demonic this time. Not necessarily a mistake in any case, I imagine any arm can be demonic, they just had to choose one because the game can only represent one.
- Inverted picture +2pts.
7)
Looks like an undead priest. Didn't know the undead had priests. Also he's blind, but I bet mysticalities compensate. There's also a certain theme of duality, black&white, and I'm not sure what that refers to in undead religion. Could be life/death, but I'd doubt it, they look like they consider it more of a unit (a cycle) than a duality thing.
- Close, blind brothers worship Asha too.
8)
It's a battle between a kenshi (the non-upgraded version is kenshi right?) and a praetorian, in some sort of naga building. I was initially tempted to say temple, but it could be a palace just as well I think, so I dunno.
Got my money on the Kenshi.
- +1pts.
9)
That'd be a panther warrior with his pet panther. He looks small in comparison to his pet, but part of that is perspective I think. Still, you'd wonder if pet panthers are larger than normal.
- I bet shadow panthers are bigger than the regular ones.
10)
Kinda looks like a cyclops except he isn,t 'cause he's got 2 eyes. Therefore I have to say this is just one ugly orc. His demon genes probably came off the breeder branch.
- Oh he just got in touch with his demon blood. Happens sometimes.
11)
Weird lookin' creature. Initially I thought an undead dragon, lookin' at the chest, but it's mouth looks very much alive, so that's probably not it. Besides, its got dragonish looks, but is missing some key features, namely arms. Its eyes are also either non-existent or weirdly placed. Kinda makes me think of the H5 wyverns, but this one's waaay too large for that, and is coming out of ice (while wyverns are a tropical animal). Speaking of ice, there's a coupla poor naga souls down on that ice. At least they look like naga.
- I'm surprised you remembered the wyverns but not the pao kai. Either way you're right +1pts.
12)
Weird lookin' thing killing a demented (its unupgraded version actually) by throwing its blunted sword-mace thing at its head. Quite bloody for any kinda heroes art. Also since orcs are the theme of this whole thing, I'm guessing this is some kinda new orc unit/whatever? I'll also add that the "orc" being mindcontrolled earlier looks more like a one-headed version of this dude than an actual orc. Not sure what these things are.
- Exactly, bloodier than expected from a heroes art. The previous one is a tainted orc, this one is a A Blackskull clan warlord and is similarly tainted but from corrupted dragon veins instead of his own demon blood. The Blackskull clan in general is kind of.. mutated +2pts.
13)
An orc army getting hit by that tsunami naga attack thing. There's a water sculpture of a dragon face, kinda neat.
- Shalassa +2pts.
14)
Undead woman of some sort. The yelling is very banshee-like, but she's not ethereal/ghostly. She's not a construct either, so no ghoul. Not a vampire either, she has the skin tone but nothing else. I'm thinking she's maybe the upper-body half of near-naked fate spinner? Otherwise quite possibly a new unit again.
- Your first instinct was correct, she's a banshee. Kind of looks like a ghoul though, curious choice. Don't know the lore behind banshees in Ashan +1pts.
15)
That's the demon worm thing, with a demon hero riding it. Said hero looks a lot like Raelag TBH. Also there's a demon symbol on the worm's underbelly.
The worm hasn't been tunelling for a while, prolly because there's an idiot riding him.
- Noticed the symbol too, nice +2pts.
16)
Human-looking sanctuary hero riding a kirin, most likely into battle considering the weapons are out and ready. Not something you'd expect to see, a kirin allowing someone to ride it.
- Yes, she will have to pay with her life sooner or later +2pts.
@Sandro400 +36pts!
1) As you once said yourself, "Probably what the archdevil looks like right now," - and you have a point, as AL in CoH clearly have treats of H5 Devils. I must make a comment about the size of this creature - here we see a giant, in DoC login screen - a small variation. I guess as a spawns of Chaos, there isn't any "standart size" for them - and wings are clerly decorative, they can't make him fly. Also, am I the only one who thought "Wow, Gandalf and Balrog, "You shall not pass!"
P.S.: there are other references to Khazad-Dum scene, that popular Gandalf frase is the description of Ice Wall card.
- Good observations +2pts.
2) That's an Altar of Asha card - you can deduce that by the visuals of the altar, which reminds Asha's tail (but I have this cart, yeah =P). Strange, there are purple flames (I thought it will be a different color, for purple is Malassa's color). Also, that priest prays during full moon, which may indicate that he/she is from White Weavers order, that venerates Life Aspect.
- Finally someone who noticed the Asha resemblance! White Weavers? Where did you hear about that? +2pts.
3) What can I say... that's Regeneration card, and we see Jaguar Warrior battling Vampire Knight. Orc seems missing his second claw on left arm - maybe he didn't have it at all or losed it during the fight. Here we also see difference between Light and Earth healing - Earth can stitch lost limbs!
- +2pts.
4) That's Blood Pool. Aparrently, for Dreamwalker's Blood Magic. How many orcs/goblins were sacrificed to full this pool?))
- A lot I'd bet +2pts.
5) Curse of Penitent, if I spell card's name correctly. Got it yesterday) Darkness magic that apparently causes mass suicide and can influence even the orcs, who have very strong spirits. Also, that card follows with Herald's frase, which indicates that this spell may mainly be used by Nethermancers, rather than any other traditional wielders of Dark magic.
- Technically they harm themselves instead of just dying on the spot but you are right. Herald? Where did you hear about that guy? +2pts.
6) Well... Dreamreaver. The only thing that came to mind is that he has his right arm demonic, not left, but "change of sides" happens with a lot of cards (Seraph-Celestial, Dreamwalker-Dreamreaver). Their description has nothing new.
- yep +2pts.
7) Oh, Blind Brother card! Finally, their art. Their's a clear reference to Moon's fases, even mask shows black/white colors. Also, one may think that they're not actually blind, but Compendium states they are. Also, this Brither's staff strangely imitates Spider's pattern, don't know what that means. His description is rather... apocalyptic
- It is not very surprising as they worship Asha and she has many faces. Nice, you know your stuff +2pts.
8) Challenge Hall, Deep Naga (aparently Kenshi) fighting Praetorian. We see Eight-Petal Lotus on the floor and 3 statues - Snow Maiden, Pearl Priestess, Naga Warlord (maybe Samurai). As one can think, that's a place where young Nagas challenge their Masters, anf I don't think only in the art of battle. It's description shows a quote from Takana, likely not so Honorful naga))
- Nagas cannot refuse a challenge after all. But this is an interesting thought, that it is where nagas challenge their masters. It was stated in Irina's campaign but I didn't make the connection +2pts.
9) Kelthor, Lord of Fury. Panther Warrior riding, eh... Shadow Panther, maybe. What's intricate here - his mask: apparantly Chieftain's. And one can think that all Panther Warriors are apparently Blood reputation...
- Exactly, curious +2pts.
10) "More than likely, the result of a dreamwalker failing to control his chaotic urges during the initiation ritual. The H6 shamans only feature a tainted arm, apparently there are worse cases" (C) Elvin )))) Seriously, nothing more to add.
- +2pts.
11) Shi-no-Shi, Deep Elder Wyvern who's been prison keeper of Shanriya. Interesting, now all Wyvern are blind (even standard Wyvern art has no eyes); in H5 times, only Pao-Kais are. Also, this Wyvern is considered immortal for unknown (for me) reasons. I know you don't want stat things, but his are 666, Devil's number ))
- I hope H7 will show the Shanriya nagas +2pts.
12) Surpise Attack card, featuring a Blackskull Orc killing a Maniac. Also has description of Goblins' "tactic".
- Funny how orcs would employ goblin tactics +2pts.
13) Giant Tsunami swallowing a great number of orcs, cyclopes, etc. Has a Dragon likeness - and not of Dragon Eel's))
- Yes, Shalassa +2pts.
14) Banshee card. New Banshee in Ashan, more traditional, no ties with H5 Banshee except Wail thingy. This creature has Amulet of Necromancy on her neck and incorporeal ability, but visually I wouldn't say she is.
- Correct +2pts.
15) Xorm, Champion of the Abyss and damned he be, Juggers on the first round!!!! Oh, he also rides a small Abyssal Worm and has a flag - I remember in H5 demons had theirs on back, not in hand) This one, most likely, is Chaos Lord.
- Damn good rusher at times +2pts.
16) Yukiko, Seeker of Honor. The only thing I want to tell - is she Naga Deathseeker, riding a Kirin???? Or she somehow managed to ride him and stay alive? Or she never end her ride to not pay the price?))
- It is a pact, she will eventually pay the price. There is a similar story in the shades campaign where a naga had delayed the price for decades +2pts.
17) Marksman's helmet, orc's club, Pit Lord's Vorpal Blade, Naga Silksword, Necro sword, Dwarven Hammer and, maybe, shield. By the way, Gold or Experience?))
- Gold of course. PS the blade is that of an assassin's, not a necro one. +2pts.
18) Well, I see Sword of Wolf, Craggy's Helmet, Iridescent Pearl, many Potions, Thunder Amulet and Warping Amulet (not sure about the name, but is part of Trikster's set).
- Yeah more than a few +2pts.
Dave jame +30pts!
1) The Abyssal Lord, a very strong and dangerous creature must be thinking "Who the He** left this pin on the ground"
- +2pts.
2) The Altar of Asha, an epic fortune card, But why is it purple. I smell an Darkelf tager around.
- +2pts.
3) Regeneration spell card, Bonus question from where is this very fitting goute "A Regenerator, A fricking regenrator!"
- Alexander Anderson would be proud +2pts.
4) Blood pool fortune card. "So, the Jaguar lost, I hope this nice warm soup could make those stinkers go away"
- Hoho +1pts.
5) Curse of Penitent spell card, rather wierd to use and not really effective. Why would anybody attack himself with his deffencive value anyway.
- A bit unwieldly yes +2pts.
6) Dreamreaver, a rather strong stronghold creature. This particular one looks like hes speaking to some young orc "Hey KID, come here and give an old man a han"
- Damn whippersnappers! +2pts.
7) A Blind brother card. "Hey could anybody help me with this book, poking out my eyes wasn't the best idea I had"
- +1pts.
8)Challenge Hall fortune card. Fun fact about the card game. The Setinel would actually win:-D
- Damn you melee guard 2! +2pts.
9) Kelthor, one of the Heroes. I actualy dislike this card, it looks like a collage of 2-3 different artworks. His head looks just unfitting
- Correct, earth shaper's antlers and chieftain mask on a blood-looking hero +2pts.
10) Tainted orc, One of the best common creatures. "This is how I feel when I'm in a moshpit"
- YEEAAH! +2pts.
11) A Shi-no-Shi. Hell I love this creature Theres just no way to kill it for good:-D I think it could take on a T-bird any day
- Eventually I had an idea of a haven deck with low level tanking, blind brothers to draw cards, a recyclable Shi-no-shi and Eleonore for continuous healing with 4 bards to get them easy and fast. Sadly not very competitive +2pts.
12) A Surprise attack fortune card. The ugly thing in the back is a Black Skull Warlord. Here you get to see one of the Black skull orcs, a tribe damned even by their own kind for worship a powerfull Chaos vien, that changes their bodies.
And BTW, this is how I LOOK when I'm in a moshpit
- Haha very nice +2pts.
13) A tsunami spell card. "Everybod's surfing, surfing P-A-O-I."
- Pwned +2pts.
14) A Banshe. This is how a singer in a metal band look during a concert.
- Classic +1pts.
15) The mighty Hero XORN on a generic Epic mount 17. How does he even controle that thing. Sword in one hand, baner in the other one. I bet this is just a pose and he gets knocked of like in a rodeo. ... hmm abyssal worm rodeo who wants to join :-P.
- That's something I'd wanna see ^^ +2pts.
16) And here we have a Naga hero Yukiko on a generic Epic mount number 5. Is it just me, or is this just a really bad artwork, Looks much worse then all other in the game.
- Naga artwork in general is not as good as the others +1pts.
17) the fortune card Weapon supplies. Well it looks like gold is a common Weapon on Ashan. I wonder if they load it in gons or just drown people in it :-D
- Money can be converted into anything +1pts.
18) the Market of shadows event card. Not much to say. But hey, It's green:-P.
- It's not easy being green +1pts.
Locksley +10pts!
1. You shall not pass, obviously. Very creative sampling of random sounds effects from the films put together, and it almost works which makes it a bit unique.
- Lol that was awesome! +2pts.
2. Carried away by a moonlight shadow. Lost in a riddle that Saturday night, far away on the other side.
Very fitting +2pts.
4. Sweet Dreams are made of this.
Heh, dreamwalker +2pts.
6. Enter Sandman - Take my hand, we're off to never ever land!
Excellent pick +2pts.
