They are 2 special cards for GenCon attendees who try the game if you get defeated by the Lion you get 1 - the dying lantern if you win you get the other - the vibrant lantern. Only the showdown phase is being demo'd
There's some news on BGG from Joshua R (who is the source of the card photo) - spoilered as I know there are some here who want to know nothing until they get it (are ye tempted )
Spoiler:
Combat is very interesting. On the one hand, there was a lot of missing or hitting and then failing the damage roll, which can be frustrating... But then the three other players were knocked out and I actually came super close to finishing off the Lion's last three damage all by myself (I had two chances where the right roll would have done it, but failed). So, kind of typical for dice-based combat.
The hit locations are interesting, you might roll two hits, pull two hit locations, then you choose which order they go in, and that can make a big difference because maybe if you choose the wrong one and fail the hit location roll, something might happen to invalidate your other hit... So there at a lot of ways for things to go terribly wrong.
On the other hand, there's always a chance you might live, no matter how dire things are looking (until you have 5 bleeding wounds, anyway) - so that sword cuts both ways.
Sometimes things felt not so thematic, like drawing an "eye" hit location when you're standing directly behind the lion (that's where his blind spot is), or being able to move from being right in front of him, into his blind spot, and attacking from there for the +1 bonus... But really, the only reason these things seemed bad for theme is because everything else seems so good for the theme, and the odd things stand out more.

Supply and demand. I for one will be selling alot of the extra stuff out of my Kickstarter pledge and will be doing so asap before KD sells sprue packs on their site.
Don't usually follow ebay but I've seen the recent KD releases, notably the Mage and Distracted models, selling for ~$150+. It's a ridiculous mark-up but people are buying. That should say something of demand and why I'm sure many of us wish Kingdom Death offered more supply.

That's true. But, in my defense!, the last part of the email seemed to be solely about the game pre-order - something I've not much interest in. Didn't expect the availability info to be divorced from the Twilight Knight section. Lesson learned, though.
cinceydooley is there and has quite a few nice pics of the KD Booth - I'm sure once he's home and had a cahnce to rest and regroup he could be persuaded into sharing them with the community!
With all the stuff added to the core set did they also included the display case in the photo?

I don't recall any information on the arrival date of the expansions? I believe that only the core box is showing up? I'd say this is only partially wrapping up.
