On a scale of 1 (awful) to 10 (excellent), rate the cover art for the new Vampire Counts codex for Warhammer:

5, I think it is the weakest of the 4 versions. The Black/Green 2nd version was the best.

TheCount03 Feb 2012 6:08 p.m. PST

3. Garish and poorly drawn, by past standards.

I do wish GW would grow out of their Red&Blue phase.

2=low budget comic book quality…the subject is centered in the frame with very little dynamic tension created, there is a minimum of action, the lighting is sterile at best, if it were not for the semi realistic depiction of the subject it would barely classify as art…and I have a pretty loose definition of art.

It loks like here was a sale on blue and red ink.

Wnat's a "meh"? 5?

Maybe "less than meh". Make it a 3.
"Low budget comic book quality" indeed.

lets just go straight to 1… this is weak sauce.

3ish
The vampire Counts stuff in general seems garish… yet clunky IMO.

I give it 1.5 disinterested shrugs,
but then I've never been too fond of cyan vampires

Sorry boys, you are obviously all wrong, that right there is an 8
or 9, no seriously……..

5 at most.
But I stopped liking GW stuff, art comprised, some time ago while I still love some of their older stuff (maybe I'm simply old and everything was better in the past).

PS: wifey says "2", it reminds her of a school project.

I'd give it a 5 for a comic book by an unknown, but from Games Workshop, and their army book at that (not just one of many internal bits of art) I'd give it a 3 at best.

Doesn't come remotely close to capturing the look and feel of a Vampire Counts army.

1. They're able to produce much better and more evocative artwork, and they should, especially for the cover of an army book. Nothing about that says "army."

I'd have to go with The Count and rate it "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!"

TheCount05 Feb 2012 3:24 p.m. PST

thumbs up

I like the bats so it gets a 2 for them but that's it.

Based upon previous cover art and industry/consumer expectations: C-
