Minis News 27 Oct 05, Part 2

Some more stuff, which I didn't have time to post earlier:

Forge World Tyranid Trygon

This was being shown at Games Day, it's just made it to the new stuff area on the Forge World website - a tyranid trygon, retailing at £75 (!!!), in case the really expensive Tyranids they make are beyond your reach and you only want one at about the price of a bottom of the range new settee from Ikea. A nice model but not that spectacularly better than the regular ones, I seem to remember it's 4-5" high.

Keith Parkinson dies, aged 47

Famed fantasy illustrator Keith Parkinson, an artist very much associated with illustration for D&D during the later TSR era, has died at the age of 47. Latterly, many of his illustrations had been converted to miniature form by industry master Tom Meier. More details at the Dark Sword Miniatures site. My sympathy to Mr. Parkinson's family.
