After yesterday's sad news about Wayne England, there was only one choice I could make for last night's hobby time - my first dwarf (one of the Imperial dwarfs by the Perry brothers), in the classic blue and white combination that Wayne popularised.
Still a WIP and snapped on my phone, but my own little tribute to a man whose artwork has given me so much inspiration over the years.
I can see me getting into painting dwarfs of this era. I have a few, but....

Those dwafs are awesome... And Blue-White would be my election too ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat range of dwarfs is my hands-down favourite for fantasy gaming, although Bood Wargames' re-imagining of them is rather fabulous too.
DeleteIn a week like this, no other colour combination would be right.
That is brilliant, I am having similar thoughts. I started my dwarf army in 1988 because of Wayne. I was actually lucky enough to go for a beer with him, lovely chap!
ReplyDeleteI never met him, but "lovely chap" seems to be the consensus from everyone who did. I can't pay personal tribute to the man, so doing so to his work will have to suffice.
