Hireling Box Reveal
about 3 years ago
– Sat, Mar 06, 2021 at 01:06:54 AM
Hello everyone,
Today we are unveiling the cover art for the hireling box. Before I do that, I wanted to talk a bit about why we made a separate box at all.
After the Kickstarter, the hirelings will be available in little retail packs, much like the Exiles and Partisans Deck and the Vagabond Pack. We really like doing small items like this because it allows folks who aren't sure if they want a full expansion the opportunity to expand their game in a small way.
However, we also wanted to give players a place to put all of their hirelings. Because they are drafted randomly and are fairly small, it made sense to do a small box so they wouldn't have to remember where they put one hireling or another. This created an additional challenge: how could we make it clear that such a box wouldn't be confused with one of the larger Root factions? Here Kyle had the excellent idea. He proposed an art piece that used a busier composition that incorporated more characters seen from a farther vantage point. This would hopefully communicate what this box was through the art itself.
As usual, he knocked it out of the park!
The box will be about the size of the Fort box though may be a bit deeper. It will have enough room for all of the hirelings, including those in the Marauder expansion with some room to spare.
As usual, if you are having any issues, feel free to contact [email protected]. I'll also be happy any questions relating to the hireling box in this update's thread.
