It actually kinda looks like she's floating above the ground... unless she has really long legs.

It's a Dreadnought. Blood Ravens, apparently. From Dawn of War, Warhammer 40k universe. Ex made it so he can remind me of the over 2000 points of Space Marines I still have to assemble and paint.

Thongs are such a bold statement, though. You'd think that Vampires would have a lot more self-confidence than that. Wearing a thong to make some sort of bold statement is just a pathetic display of insecurity.

They're not Orcs. They're Orks.

dude, the vamp chick as drawn is a total slut...I'd be surprised if she wasn't wearing a thong.

Real sluts don't wear underwear. Don't you guys know anything?!

Proof positive that sex sells when it comes to game box art, even if it's considered crappy. :lol: Well, maybe you won't buy it, but at least the discussion prompted some good comic reading for those of us who don't care one way or another. :D

I'm going to buy this game no matter what, providing I have my system qualifications up and ready to run it, but the cute chick on the box sure doesn't hurt;)

The reason she looks wrong in the box art is she isnt from the box art and wasnt drawn by the same person was the one who did it and also wasnt drawn for a night scene and finaly wasnt drawn for that street.

You can tell it more clearly if you notice that the street falls apart around where she is and is replaced with a muddy airbrushed bit of gunk all around her.

Most likely shes from an earlier vamp game ad somehwre and they just cut pasted her in to fill over something they didnt like in that corner as they nuked quite a section there.

The box would be kind of drab without the girl, but I really think that she is possibly the least sexy vampire babe you can get without involving the Nosferatu. What a missed opportunity for cheesecake! :)

I'm required by law to wear one. The female judge says something along the line... "not wanting to expose your greatness to the rest in fear of causing unnecessary self pity amongst the rest of male populace in your neighborhood".

She makes me all fuzzy inside everytime I look at her.
