I have just received the sad news from his wife Victoria that Wayne England has passed away today.

The older generation among us may remember him for his artwork for GW and other industriy heavyweights.

RIP

Though I must admit I have never heard of him
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Bugger  :(

My brother is well into the magic scene and had met him at tournaments (over many pints) very affable character by all accounts. Loved his art style.

Yes, Paul.....I think he joined 6 months to a year after I did.

I used to have a few bits of his artwork.....A Titan and a few Bloodbowl players.
Mrs T was asking, "How old was he ?"....I didn't realise he was only 55.

Tony Ackland phoned last night while we were outside finishing 'doing' the horses...I can be fairly certain that, that was to tell me the sad news.

Cheers - Phil

Blimey, only 55! Far, far too young and only a few years older than me.

I googled his artwork.

Kicked off some memories, took me back.

RIP.

I too FSN. I remember seeing some of his original artwork at GW during a Mordheim tournament and they really were superb. A sad loss of a very talented artist.

I  have always enjoyed his work.
