Title: R.I.P. Wayne England
Post by: sebigboss79 on 09 February 2016, 06:18:16 PM
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.

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.

Sorry to hear that Techno, wondered if you knew him when the GW connection was mentioned

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.

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.
