Much needed morale boost from @fenrisgames.com in the post today, via his Ko fi loyalty club. A bunch of townsfolk with a touch of the Innsmouth about them. Plus a nice collection of Duck stickers and a toffee!

This cover was my first introduction to John Blanche's artwork. Little did I know how influential his work would become to me, the greater hobby in general. A great loss, but what a legacy of work he has left.

The cover of Hero's by Dave Millward printed by Tabletop Games.
A Dark Age warrior stand on a mound of grass, he wears a helmet with a boar crest and chainmail over a tartan tunic. He carries a shield with a dragon embossed on it and a great axe, which he is leaning against.
It is signed and dated John Blanche 79.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

A warrior with a pair of cougars, faces away from the viewer, across the land in front of them, towards a river. There stands a cloaked figure holding an illuminated staff aloft.
