The image is in the original inquisitor book (with the weird dimensions), but I don't think they have the images in the reprint/release.davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-24649361757835135592016-08-20T02:47:07.165-07:002016-08-20T02:47:07.165-07:00It's a listing of the portrayed characters - J...It's a listing of the portrayed characters - Jaq Draco, Harq Obispal (the Inquisitor who commands anti-Genestealer operations on Stalinvast in the first book) and the said Harlequin men.<br /><br />That said, I always thought the image was quite well-known - it was featured in WD139, I think, as part of an Illuminations piece on Blanche's work. He pointed out the Connery influence in that one, too.<br /><br />Cheers, ChrisWestfalia Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836981813243956234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-50954670165399831332016-08-20T00:24:46.135-07:002016-08-20T00:24:46.135-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.jlmbarneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134747074844332811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-60593391635149001972016-08-20T00:24:35.034-07:002016-08-20T00:24:35.034-07:00I've seen it, too, and I got into GW at the en...I've seen it, too, and I got into GW at the end of 2nd ed 40k, though I always pored through the older stuff. I've a feeling it appeared in an early 90s White Dwarf (a second-hand book shop in Cardiff had a stock I used to snap up) as an illustration of a planetary governor or something.jlmbarneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134747074844332811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-28191896383140003012016-08-19T13:56:19.606-07:002016-08-19T13:56:19.606-07:00I've seen it before, because I remember findin...I've seen it before, because I remember finding the placement of the hat in the foreground a bit odd. I can't think where I've seen it, because I haven't read <i>Inquisitor</i> and I don't remember seeing any adverts for it.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-34082959932954782192016-08-19T11:13:30.172-07:002016-08-19T11:13:30.172-07:00Very interesting Orlygg, not least because my Scav...Very interesting Orlygg, not least because my Scavvy artwork from the Confrontation rules is on exactly the same artboard by the looks, and is roughly contemporary. Can tell us what the text is above John's signature in the bottom left corner please? I can't make it out!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-61692256102309016202016-08-19T09:35:14.675-07:002016-08-19T09:35:14.675-07:00I'm glad they corroborated the Sean Connery th...I'm glad they corroborated the Sean Connery thing.
