It is only a pseudo latin text.

On the Latin issue: As replied, it's not really correct latin. It also makes little to no sense releasing a card game in latin, since very few would be able to fully understand it (and those that do seldom play CCG:s). I would however fully support you or anyone that would want to translate it all into latin or any other language. (Currently I have only English & Swedish covered. An Italian person has shown interest in translating it all to Italian, but the rest of the world awaits...)

Is this stuff available to go into mainline, and if so, could you let us know artists' contact details etc? That would make an excellent alt for the Swordsman.

Sure, if you have use of whatever just go ahead. Would be cool if anything related to BfW found any usage for it. It's available in higher res. and with PS-layers intact if needed.

I'll PM you the details you asked for as I don't want to publish the artists e-mail in a public forum without his consent.

[thespaceinvader]

Thanks =) I'll drop him a line when you do. SHouldn't need any hi res layers stuff for commit, but having a copy available would be nice - if you could PM it to me that would be good.

EDIT: OK, I've committed the Imperial Guard to trunk as a swordsman alt - but I'm going to leave this thread here for now, since most of the images, while of mainline standard, are not art that we actuallly need, so it doesn't belong in contribs.

1. All is GPL3.

The WTactics site says it's both GPLv3 and GPLv2+. Could you change the quoted part at the start of the thread? This would help to clear up some licensing issues. (GPLv3-only stuff isn't allowed on the add-on server for one)

Oops. My bad: The WT-site is correct - I'll fix it here in the initial post.

-	This piece of art was created for WTactics and for a game called Rarescape
	and is the result of a collaboration between the two projects. The costs for
	it were equally shared between us. This has some implications on the way it's
	licensed, since our projects may have chosen to use different licensing models.

-	The art itself is licensed using GPL2 or later in the shape it's been made
	available by WTactics. Any derivatives would according to the GPL(s)
	automatically be placed under the same license(s).

-	The above also entails that Rarescape/Rareclarity LLC can and should not in
	any way be held responsible for anything that is related to the GPL-license(s) as
	those entities _have not_ released this work using those licenses. For example,
	Rarescape _does not_ have to share this work, it's source or derivatives of it in
	any shape with the public.  

-	WTactics may not and can not affect the licensing policy of Rarescape/Rareclarity
	LLC, and vice versa. The two entities can license and re-license this art any way
	they see fit. In effect, the art is likley to be using multiple licenses.

*tries to think if there's anywhere that could be useful for mainline...*

I can;t think of anywhere, annoyingly. But someone needs to use that picture, it's awesome. It's by the same artist as before, right?

Yes. it is.

Why not add quality generally useful portraits that don't belong to a specific unit?

It would be theoretically nice if all characters had a unique, quality portrait, but there's a ton of duplication among UMC portraits.

[Speedbrain]

I think he can't find a place to use it is there are no female swordsmen in mainline. It does look fantastic, though.

The main reason, as Speedbrain suggested, is that I can't think of a single unit it would fit as - the closest would be a female rogue, I think, but it's not quite right for that, or Li'Sar, who has her own portrait. Dela Keshar could also fit, but she uses a staff. Including good portraits in mainline is worthwhile when they fit a current unit, IMO, but including them on the offchance someone might use them for a character seems a little over the top.

Unless I've missed someone major... We're kinda deficient in female heroes, unsurprisingly given the setting.

[Darker_Dreams]

people keep wanting more female units... make it a female swordsman portrait?
