These look awesome. I'm getting errors from the Baron image.

Rabit reported problems with the Baron Blade pic too, but I couldn't see the problem. However two reports is a trend, so I just redid them and posted new versions. Please let me know if you still have problems.
After work tonight, I'm going to update the cover photos so they have the Tactics and Kickstarter logos on them. No reason the advertising shouldn't be everywhere.

Reporting in. These are fantastic, but Blade's backer icon is a sadly vacant square. :-/

I'm not a backer because I'm attempting people to invest as a Christmas present for me, but I really want to use that pick of Frost. Any chance of it minus the backer stuff?

I can't get the BB profile pic to do anything but display properly for me. I just posted a .png next to the .jpg. Is that one working properly for you guys?

Well... I'm not sure if that means I should take the .png back down, or just not touch anything and leave it as it is. I think I'll just leave it. Worst case, people will think I'm an idiot for posting two identical BB pix, which I can live with.

The images Spiff used are available - feel free to do with as you wish! (Note: Now that Ambuscade has been revealed, we'll add an Ambuscade image that was originally provided, but can't get to it until tonight. My apologies!)

I'll add a new "Tracker Backer" set for Ambuscade tonight. Still don't have a catchy "backer" phrase for Operative.

Firefox is telling me the download failed, with no further explanation. Anybody else having problems with the images? (And does anybody know if they got submitted to BGG?)
Edit: Tried again using a "save as" right-click rather than going directly and had no problem. Huh.

The images came from GtG, who originally posted them in the playtester forum, I believe. (But they are explicitly for public consumption.)

I think it's been mentioned before, but if these pictures are for public consumption, is there a reason the Tactics BGG page hasn't received any new pics? Those would be a great way to spruce up the page.

follow-up: Is there a CC version of the Uprising box or that includes the Operative?
I'll give it a shot and will report back. Presumably these might be contained on art within the box someplace.

The crowdsourced Geekmod system didn't like them uploaded to the "Game" gallery. Definitely not "People," so I'll try "Creative" later.

Pretty sure we won't get the dino-art before the KS is done. Mostly because I'm willing to be it doesn't exist, yet, as they would have posted it on the announcement if it did.

How vital is a dino pic? I could just make one using the pic they used in the KS update (https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/001/818/106/51b10654115cf8e00911878577aafadd_large.png?1396276610) if someone was dying to be a Dino Backer.

That's right!
We should go on strike until we get dinosaur art.
We won't put up dinosaur themed Sentinels Tactics facebook banners or profile pics without new art! So there!
They'll crumble any moment now.
Rawr! (that is the unnofficial flavor text from the first new dinosaur art that will surely be coming any minute now)
