(Indiegogo) "Darkness over Cannae" Book

[Mad Doc Morris]

According to the blurb "an illustrated novel" on the battle of Cannae in 216 BC is currently kickstarted on Indiegogo (LINK).
Found this recently over at Roman Army Talk where the illustrator was doing a bit of research. Even if one might not be convinced by her style, the illustrations indeed seem to be based on fairly good knowledge of period gear. A definite plus if compared to other comic-style interpretations out there. At least, not another Spartaaaa/cus adaptation.

Here's also a link to the project log, and here's a bit of concept art:

Thanks for that

That looks good, the top left pic reminds me of Pete Connolly and some other children's book illustrators - who usually deliver excellent work and are well worth checking out - good easy to use reference!

Having fought Cannae and Zama on the table top on more than one occasion, I shall try and keep an eye out for it.

Nice to see something like this going for crowd funding as opposed to the usual MDF rubbish.

I like the illustration style as well, easy on the eye with good detail definition 

cheers

This is first time I seriously consider to participate crowdfunding. I like this one very much, the graphics, the story, the made research. I think projects like this are really worth be supported.
