Here Come the Miniatures
Cover by Alan Craddock |
Whilst looking for the White Dwarf with the Lone Wolf figures issue. I came across this copy of White Dwarf (52) from April 1984. It is the first issue with a regular miniature feature - Tabletop Heroes. It seems Joe Dever and Gary Chalk were both regular contributors to this feature. This set the format for several years with one page of photos and one page of hints and tips. Each month tended to have a theme with photos and feature trying together. In the first issue - fantasy knights.
A high quality and typical artwork for the cover of this era. Most of the artwork I haven't seen elsewhere. Which suggests it was commissioned for White Dwarf. Anyway on to the article.
Great issue... I spent hours drooling over those pictures...the first colour pics of painted fantasy minis I'd ever seen.
