Alt Art Heroes: Bombur (Lore) - a photo on Flickriver

            An appropriate card for Thanksgiving Day - the original FFG version of this hero shows the ravenous dwarf about to eat a turkey with all the trimmings.

Keeping with my theme of "battle ready" alt art cards, I modified an image from Léo Lasfargue (it took a long time to find this image, and an even longer time to find the illustrator's name) to create a more heroic looking Bombur.

Bombur is visually in defensive mode - aligned with his highly focused stat line. He still retains his enormous size but is in fighting shape.

This alt art card will definitely encourage me to use this hero more often, and his hero power allows for easy first turn acceleration of a Dwarf deck to 5 characters, adding quick synergy with heroes Thorin Oakenshield, Oin, or Nori.

***

Modifications: I mirror imaged the original, removed the helm on his back, and re-aligned the top of two handed axe handle to perfectly be in line with the axe head (the original was off by two handle widths!). I also turned the oval-shield into a perfectly round one, and removed other major elements on the left and right sides of the card, replacing it with extended sky background.
