Here Come the Miniatures

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.
There wasn't much else miniatures related in White Dwarf except for an advert for new Citadel miniatures. Both boxed sets by Aly Morrison. The miniatures can be seen on Stuff of Legends.

Great issue... I spent hours drooling over those pictures...the first colour pics of painted fantasy minis I'd ever seen.
