Interestingly, the Dead Marsh Hunter card has a tree icon in the bottom right hand corner and I've also noticed that Gimli (from the preview page) has a hammer in his bottom right hand corner. Are these also old card styles, or are these icons that haven't had an explanation yet?
Just checked Gimli from the FFG preview on Hero's rather than the forum preview post translated from French and the hammer icon has disappeared on the FFG version of Gimli, so something seems to have changed there between initial concept and final product.
The tree icon on the Dead Marsh Hunter is the white tree of Gondor, so i reckon the icons used to represent factions (dwarf for hammer, tree for gondor) but in the latest card design this faction has simply be included in the trait list rather than as an seperate icon.
All irrelevant I guess, but what else have we got to talk about without any more news or a game that is released yet!
Yea, I have noticed too that there have been subtle differences in those icons. I have no idea that they mean, so the only ones that I have been putting in the database are spheres (lore, tactics, leadership, spirit). I would love get an explaination so I can have everything formatted the games release.

Yeah, they did away with the icons in the final versions. we talked about this over at BGG. My theory is that it is harder to refrence an icon (like a horse head) than say "Rohan" in future cards, cards that will apply to certain sub-types. Like "all Rohan characters get plus 1 will"

Ok so the new avatar pictures are very exciting! I think they're showing us all the heroes from the core set. If you start from the front they're grouped together by sphere.
Leadership:
Aragorn
Theodred
(Old Dwarf) (any guesses?)
Tactics:
Gimli
Legolas
(Dwarf)
Spirit:
Eowyn
Dunhere
Eleanor
Lore:
Denethor
(Elf)
(Proud Woman)
Any guesses on who the unnamed people are?
Not all who wander are lost...
Balin would be my guess for one of the Dwarves. Maybe Arwen is in there as well?

BeardFan - I think You saw the game or the demo in action. At some Game Show in Germany, right? Tell as something more about the game. How it all works, how many card does a players deck have and so on. Share with us Youre knowledge if You can.
Oh, how many of You seen those new avatars? I'm asking becouse those are a great sneak pick at new arts from the game and those are looking amazing.
PS. those characters are interesting. Gimli son of Gloin and Gloin himself, some father and son deck there will be.

Glorfindel as Lore? Really? I can justify him in any of the three other spheres, but Lore is a bit odd, in my opinion.

Hang around in Rivendell and Elrond for an Age or two and even a dimwit could learn Lore. And Gloryboy is no dimwit 
. Meccg had Glorfindel as Warrior/Sage.

I don't think him a dimwit; it's just that his exploits in the flight from Gondolin sum him up for me.

Females in Tolkien's lore are not warriors.Only exception is Eowyn and she fought just once at Pelenor Fields.
Female elves are skilled warriors and can use weapons as good as males can but their duty is to stay out of the battle and heal those who need healing.A female elf takes a weapon and goes to battle if this is the only option she has or if she is in danger.So spirit or willpower is the sphere that fits more at female characters.

Nah forget about willpower sphere it was my fault.There is no willpower sphere.Just keep spirit

I learned a lot from that sage. Then I learned it was cheaper to keep Halbarad at Rivendell if I wanted to play Marvels Told.
I really like that most of the MEQ heroes made it into the game... even though Eleanor is really just Ayn Rand....
