Also just want to add my tribute to Wayne England and Christopher Rush. Both brilliant artists who captured my imagination and brought our gaming worlds to life. Gaming art helps me visualise the settings of games.

Can I just say I think @johnlyons ‘ pose in the intro video is classic. Although @lloyd ‘s puff of smoke off the finger guns is a close second. 😀

I think Infinity has this one.
Also, am I the only one who wants to know the name of the artists on each piece?

Frostgrave for me, as it conjours up much nostalgic imagery from early role playing experiences. I too, join with the sentiments of condolences towards Chistopher Rush and Wayne England’s families and friends. What legacies they leave though!

the art is like a photo picture bringing the game/caricature to life, book covers are the same I think.

Have to say I’m stunned the Gates of Antares art wasn’t a finalist, but as said in the vid, art is subjective! 😀

I’ll back Frostgrave, it looks classic fantasy and so well done.

Just Going on art I’d go AoS (as I love GW’s massed battle art) or Guild Ball as the art and individual character sketchs have nearly sold me the game over and over again ……. damn (again) ….. I’ll go Guild Ball
