kokiman.2364 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It's really good, for people who already have the Collectors Edition Artbooks it might not be 100% completely worth it if it weren't for the fact that they gave EotN AND UTOPIA dedicated chapters.

Randulf.7614 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 That's interesting, because I thought they had delayed release and weren't sending out preorders at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo.4705 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The Utopia chapter intrigue me but I can't hope reading it or seing a youtube video showing the book... i think I will wait for the pandemic to pass and then I will order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonArkanio.6419 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I got mine yesterday and I have to say, it's amazing. The amount of artworks is overwhelming and I love to see how the style of ANet developed through the years while still keeping its identity.The book is just great.

Fenom.9457 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Worth $35 on Amazon? If it really has new lore, especially on utopia, then I’ll be getting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynder.2509 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Congrats!Damn, I really would love the art book as well but I can't get it at the moment or anytime soon and I hope it will be still around later this year. Does anyone know if it's a limited thing that only has a certain amount of copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if it's a limited thing that only has a certain amount of copies? Most game art books are fairly short run things. You'll get it second hand and it being Dark Horse should give it an extended lifespan, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be around indefinitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about maybe getting it for Christmas since usually these are the times I can afford to make these kinds of purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H.6142 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I just got my hands on mine. I'm very happy with it. I did find a couple pieces that were used more than once. Once side by side each other. Creator commentary is not apparent in the book, but the chapter about Utopia is what has me writing here today. If you didn't know better, you'd think Utopia was canon, and part of the GW universe, and not a cancelled thing.To that end,==Spoilers==Xotecha was a part of the Mists which read a lot more like our concept of Limbo, far beyond what the mists already embody. Passing spirits from all worlds and timelines passed through here, or were otherwise trapped there. It's "speckled with the remnants of the former homeland of the Old Gods." The gods claimed the area long before the current inhabitants.Eight tables of the 'Schism Codex' tell a tale of a great force that threatened the land.Besides the Chronomancer, the other profession is an unnamed Summoner. The summoner conjured creatures just long enough for them to attack their opponent.Children of the Forgotten, related to the winged serpents were summoned by Dwayna and Melandru to protect Xotecha. From the art, some were sapien, some saurian, some mantid.Time was marked by a giant wheel at the heart of the island.Quick references to the 'Tannek' and the god made golems exist, which I believe are noted on the gw wiki already.

Randulf.7614 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yay my UK preorder arrived today. And Amazon didn't damage it for a change :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Mine is on it's way, unfortunately it will miss my birthday but should be here shortly after. I was going to wait for the local comic shop to re-open but started worrying the art book would sell out, then my husband found it being sold by Blackwell's Books who are still selling online. :)Can't wait to see it. I've got some of the previous GW art books but this one sounds like it has more info, the ones I've got are mostly just pictures and sometimes it's hard to tell what it is or if it made it into the game.
