Rogues everyone are having a great day because one of Warcraft's coolest characters, Edwin VanCleef, is making his debut into the Hero Skin territory.
Edwin's Hero Skin will be purchasable via a bundle in the future and will include the "Edwin" card back. We don't know when the bundle will be available, but we sure can't wait!

Edwin except it's school picture day and he has to show his face for the year book
This is so lame. Put the mask back on
OH MY GOD FINALLY AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS AND FEMALE SKINS WE REACH THE DREAM HARBOUR!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Part of what makes Edwin a compelling villain is that we never see his face. You know he was once a man with a family and a normal life, but the nobles' betrayal has turned him into nothing more than his want for vengeance, signified by the red mask that obscures his face, covering his humanity. In other words, please blizzard put the man's mask back on.
Agreed, would've rather have had the mask over Chadcleef, however after such a long wait for him I will definitely be rocking it.
Keen! :O)
It'll probably sell more if Edwin stood by SOP and covered his mouth.
Thank god i am so tired of playing as valeera and I hate gnomes
WOW!
That's a really cool skin, and even i dont play rogue, i'm considering take it
WOW, that skin looks amazing! And finally a new alternate hero skin for rogue! I'm so happy Edwin is rogues first alternate hero since Maiev*, considering how important Edwin VanCleef was in rogue since basicly launch. Good 'ol reliable Turn 3 20/20 Edwin VanCleef, stealing games for such a long time. Also the skin itself looks amazing, i just hope the animations and voicelines will be as good! If so then this portrait might be the first thing i'm going to buy since the stormwind tavern pass.
*I'm not counting scabbs, cuz its scabbs and he has almost the same amount of portraits as valeera.
You should count Scabbs, because the Mercenary characters are better than the Warcraft characters.
I'm not sure a subjective reason like that is going to convince someone who discounted him subjectively. For me personally, I like Scabbs fine but still discount him for this purpose as he is part of a series of portraits handed out more or less equally to all classes. He therefore did nothing to address the sizable imbalance between the classes.
Yeh that's the reason i don't really count scabbs. Scabbs and his portraits didn't really fix the problem with rogue having a lot less portraits than other classes. And to me, it feels like they HAD to make scabbs portraits, otherwise rogue would have been the only class without portraits of its mercenary.
But i do want to take a moment to say that i actually like scabbs. I'm happy we got some gnome representation in HS in terms of portraits and i sometimes use one of the scabbs portraits for some decks. Now that i'm reading my original comment again, i do see why some people might assume that i dislike scabbs. I probably should make that more clear in future comments. Honestly i dont hate/dislike scabbs, i just dislike the fact that they neglected rogue for so long in terms of alternate heroes, and when we finally got one it's because they pretty much HAD to.
I agree with that completely :) Rogue should have more skins, even though I’ll probably keep using Scabbs.
Oh, of course. I would have been shocked if Brandon replied to say I changed his mind.
The upper and lower part of his face don't match well imo. The lower part is too "torn apart" from the eyes/nose part, at least it feels like it for me. Rest looks cool.
It looks like they originally had him with the mask on but then decided to remove it, but they didn't put in the effort to just redraw the whole thing and instead just tagged on the lower half.
I do not like the face. I do not want the face.
Yeah, his face is clapped in that picture. Hopefully it is not the one that will be used for a hero portrait.
Evil movie Optimus Prime be like:
