I think you are bang on that there's more than a whiff of Weng-Chiang to the "Disappearing Conjurer".

Unfortunately that character was considered by some viewers to be a racist caricature, although I found him to be a surprisingly complex and even sympathetic villain. It's funny that there's a similarity here, given the Fourth Doctor's writers' fondness for "eldritch" storylines.Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-85854648102331336282016-08-14T07:01:26.447-07:002016-08-14T07:01:26.447-07:00The Elder Party candidate is looking better all th...The Elder Party candidate is looking better all the time. Given the current "contest" between a statist oligarch and her pet baboon, how could he not?<br /><br />Sorry. Bit of a raw nerve there.<br /><br />On a happier note, the minis look terrific. Really dig the crazed, knife-wielding chef of Greek extraction. It's best not to mispronounce "gyro" when she's around, I guess. <br /><br />Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945734586365556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-40354298942892855332016-08-13T06:03:54.105-07:002016-08-13T06:03:54.105-07:00Thanks MK!Thanks MK!matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-65892424909089618922016-08-13T06:03:41.944-07:002016-08-13T06:03:41.944-07:00Yes!

Clearly, some miniatures were based off of pictures, like in this post. (And clearly the reverse happened too... I think Warhammer Armies is filled with illustrations based off of pre-existent miniatures.) But there were other inspirations too... like basing miniatures off of employees at GW, like the Steve Jackson pirate, or Antonio/Tony Epstein from Lichemaster. I'm sure there are dozens of others... since you, Orlygg, have such excellent access to the old-timers at GW, it would be interesting to see what you can dig up about that!matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-35190811308952112032016-08-13T04:15:14.929-07:002016-08-13T04:15:14.929-07:00This is a fantastic little post about a rarely dis...This is a fantastic little post about a rarely discussed facet of GW's classic past.
