Take a look at this image (HMG.com ad for Codex)...

http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10027/HMGcodexad.jpg

... and give me some kind of a slogan to add to the ad in context to the picture.

I'm stumped at the moment, and need a little inspiration.

Can you make him frown instead of smile, him being the snowman of course?
ninthdoc

Option 1 - "Where can you see a giant fight dragons on snow and ice? Nowhere but hexes."

Option 2 -
"Large heroes... Often on sale
Ice... usually $25.95
Not having to worry about distribution... Priceless."

Option 3 - "Buy your Heroscape products from Housemousegames.com, or the snowman gets it!"

Option 4 - "Housemousegames.com, when you absolutely, positively have to have ice terrain right now: accept no substitutions!"

Option 5 - "If you want to see this snowman turn into 3 wild hunters and attack this knight-wannabe, buy the latest Heroscape expansions from Housemousegames.com."

Nice, hextr1p!

I like the smile.

One thing- With the angle of the cut, you might want to some of the top of the headless snowman.

Just playing. I honestly did have a brief thought to add blood to the scene. But I decided to keep the image PG. That, and the blood I tried to add just wasn't convincing enough for me.

Why not just place a wound marker on the snowman?

Heh heh... that is pretty funny.

An idea I've had floating around in my head is a comic made out of the Heroscape miniatures. Though at the bottom of each panel is a place where dice appear as if they were in game. And they'd react to the outcome of the dice in certain situations, d20 rolls n' all that. Still working out the details, but I think the concept should work. I've seen a similiar idea done on RPG comics, and it's pretty hilarious.

I see one now with a character saying "I would hit you if only I had a turn marker."
