Battling Goblins in the Dungeon.

Although this claustrophobic action packed beauty was in White Dwarf #193, I'm actually cheating a bit.

Some artistic styles and images are synonymous with certain products. As soon as you look at this piece you think of a certain trio of games: Heroquest, Advanced Heroquest and Warhammer quest.


This is from the Warhammer Quest Rulebook. Unfortunately I can't find who actually created this piece. It would seem to be one of John Blanche, Wayne England, Dave Gallagher or Mark Gibbons (I think Geoff Taylor only did the cover art?) If anyone can clear this up it would be greatly appreciated.

As ever Copyright obviously stays with the original owner (be it Games Workshop or the artist) and I hope that any interested parties will take these posts in the admiring showcase spirit that is intended.

  2. It's definitely not Gibbons or Blanche; it looks like earlyish Wayne England to me.
