About the Project
Well as Highlander is my all time favourite film, I had to jump in on the Kickstarter and at £29 all in it was a no brainer. The game arrived a couple of weeks ago and since then I have been chomping at the bit to paint the mini's they are excellent.

This is where Riverhorse were forced to do some changes, I believe it was because they could not get permission to use Sean Connery’s image for the game. So the cards have a younger looking bearded guy.

Sunday Kastagir
Vincent SmytheNotes
This character is where Riverhorse have slightly diverted from the film. Whilst Kastagir in the film links to the 1783 duel that Connor has with Bassett in film, he doesn’t appear in the scene. Therefore Vincent Smythe is an elaboration on the film. Also the costume of the miniature is very much based on that of Bassett’s

Anyway the obligatory music for the project, had to be Queen, mainly because they did the music for the film but also cos they are the greatest band in history.
