The Perrys posted this morning on their FB page: Ian Heath 1952-2023It is with sad hearts that we have to report the death of Ian Heath earlier this month at the age of 71. His wife, Janina, emailed Michael, a couple of days ago, as he and Ian had worked on a few books for Osprey in the past together. He was an excellent writer, researcher and illustrator, whether it was for Foundry Books, Osprey, or War Games Research Group and thoroughly enjoying the research part. He was obsessed by Tolkien's work (although not keen of the film versions), so much so that over many years he'd built up armies of 6-7,000+ figures. Ian was also very proud of his viking ancestry, joking that he would prefer a viking funeral if the local re-enactors would be willing to donate a long boat. As it is, his ashes will be scattered in the Orkneys, which was an annual holiday destination for him and Janina. Our sympathies are with Janina and the rest of his family. Rest in peace |

That is very sad news – his books for WRG were hugely influential. |

Exactly so 20thmaine. I was consulting one of his books just this week. His passing is a great loss for the miniature gaming world. My condolences to his family and friends. |
