Thanks to Hobo over on ENworld for pointing out this juicy find.

Prescott's LoBster in Five Nations was pretty badass, but WAR has nailed it with the cover of the Eberron Campaign Guide:

And let's not forget our plucky adventuring duo on the Eberron Player's Guide:

And finally, the Emerald Claw returns in Seekers of the Ashen Crown:

Great pictures, all of them


The Emerald Claw elf reminds me of Demise a lot. Could it be that she's back?

I like them, although I think the Guy in the armor in the middle shot must be a Goliath or a Space Marine.. he's huge!

Maybe the elf is just very small.

Is it just me, or do those pics form a triptych?

Some of the coolest Eberron art I've seen yet. Who is the artist?

Tyranthraxus, that guy is most definitely a warforged.
And I'd bet cash that those creatures with the LoB are Steel Predators, from some old 3.0 or 3.5 adventure.

The two minions beneath the Lord of Blades are Hilt and Pommel, his customised Iron Defenders (homonculi). Of course if they're been updated to Steel Predators... all the more sw33ter \m/ .

Nice find Trolls, very tasty artwork. Good to see the Artificer finally being someone other than Throndred the dwarf :P .

It looks to me like the Players and DM's book images go together, with the LoBster on the left, but the adventure cover doesn't match the other two.

That would be Wayne Reynolds.

Huh?
The picture shows the Lord of Blades - this is obviously in the Mournland. That's about as apocalyptic as things get, I would say.

He is a Warforged I think.

Id hope so. Tis a shame we get a pic of a Warforged on both ECS and EPG though. Would of been nice to have seen a Kalashtar maybe. or Vol

Isn't that the a Gorgon head (coat of arms of house Cannith) in the broken archway above the Artificer?

Yes, which supports the fact that its a picture in the Mournlands. Possibly Whitehearth.

I like, certainly better than the rather confused and busy artwork of the 3.5 Eberron covers. It is surely the Mournland, and that is surely valid. I wonder though, if that is the right image to be emphasizing for Eberron. Does that give the uninformed an accurate image of the genre of the setting, that is pulp noir? Those of us who are familiar with the setting know its conceits, but will a novice pick up this book thinking it is something like Dark Sun?

I think the only thing he will be thinking of is Warforged and Bewbs, kewl!!!

Lol, serious, WAR is the best out there, all of his art rocks, i'm so glad the Core books and the Eberron books are all done by Mr. Reynolds, love his art to death!

Did anyone else notice the Dragonmark on the Artificer's right wrist/forearm? Nice touch.

I believe the Warforged is wearing a Silver Flame tabard.

The Warforged looks to be a Paladin of the Silver Flame. Not only is he wearing a Tabard with the Silver Flame on it, but if yu look at his left shoulder you can see a holy symbol of the Silver Flame there.
