If you guys were to suggest new art for Bred for War - what would you have on the cover?

A couple of choices.  The nurse (Jenkins) fighting the cappie spies; a wolf mech vs a jade falcon mech is also good.
some sort of pic of Natasha facing down the whole JF force at the gap (not her final fight) or the kell hounds versus the wolves on morges.

I just re-read the book this last weekend, and I was trying to keep an eye on ideas. :)

I assume you mean Kell Hounds versus the Jade Falcons? Personally, I would stay away from showing the Kell Hounds on the cover as this would be somewhat spoilerish. Morgan Kell getting involved was a bit of a 'whoa!' moment in the novel.

What do you suppose the title 'Bred for War' was specifically referencing?

Isn't there a quote from Vlad to Ulric along the lines of "we were bred for war" as he complains that the 15 year truce is contrary to everything the Clan culture is based on, etc?

Skimming through, the phrase appears a few times - and every instance I found is of a Clanner referring to themselves. So it would probably make most sense if new art was Clan-themed ...

Maybe Ulric getting glasses on Wotan then? Hundreds of LRMs speeding down at his lone mech, surrounded by the ruined cityscape

Anything that isn't the original cover is an improvement

What? You never partially tore your shirt off to expose killer abs while clutching your national flag and firing your SMG in the air? All the while, looking to the sky and yelling "aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgh!" ?
