Posted by Randall just a little bit ago to tumbler.  I like to refer to this as the official "Brony Cover"

Probably one of those things like original Star Trek Klingon foreheads vs Next Gen Star Trek Klingon Foreheads.

He took the Human Looking quality.  Or it's a Cyberskull.

*shrug*  Dunno.  I always hated the horse heads.  Though it did make them visually distinctive, I guess.

Because being a centaur wasn't visually distinctive enough?

Once had a Centaur Johnson who introduced himself as Mr. Ed. 

Sadly I was the only one in that group old enough to get the joke.

Wow, I remember Randall's post a while back about this image...very nice indeed. Always like Echo's work.

The levels of John Woo badassery is through the roof.

The Doves are a nice touch.

I meant Visually Distinctive from every other Centaur in Fantasy.  There may be others, but off the top of my head I can't think of any other fictional centaur that actually had a horse-like head like SR ones did.  Though as I said, I hated that, so...

Well, I whoever came up with the horse heads for SR4, I wanted to congratulate for the sheer level of trolling that would entail, intentional or no.

I do have players that are furries, and just seeing their "WTF?" faces when I showed them the pictures in RC. Especially in the wake of the rise of MLP:FiM.

That and the otter-head mermaids.

(then again, changelings are basically actual-furries, but whatever)

Okay.

So...  Is this a picture of a human-headed centaur adept punk with cyberlegs punching an incredibly skinny troll with a katana on a motorcycle?

What kind of 80's metal were you guys on when this was drawn?

EDIT:  My friend suggested it's probably a horned changeling rather than a troll.  Makes sense given what should be in the book.

I thought it was an interesting (if not super creative).  To be honest I'd be a bit more annoyed just at them changing lore...  Yeah, I'm one of those people.

Wow!

Any ideas on the release date?

[AJCarrington]

Nothing other than the comment in the blog post that it is one of the releases planned within the next 12 months. Given that we're starting to see some official comment, I'd guess we found see a digital release this fall, with print likely being early next year. Of course, this is pure speculation on my part.
