I just noticed during an Amazon search that Osprey planned a book for coming November, on Herod the Great's army, which Angus McBride was to illustrate:

Robert,
If the book is scheduled for November, I'd think it possible that the Angus McBride completed the artwork before he died. Osprey authors complete the design briefs then move on to the text, so the artwork is normally ready at least six months before publication. Books have to be ready months, if not a year, in advance so they can find a place on the publication schedule. Also, I know from experience that Mcbride could work really fast when he wanted to. So you'll probably have another book to add to your collection.
