Empire of Man Witch Hunter

I was placing an order with Games Workshop and looking for something to add to ensure I could get free delivery. I found the online only Empire of Man Witch Hunter which I thought for £9 was cheap for Games Workshop.

This kit contains 3 metal components. I have to say I wasn’t clear if the two weapons had to be attached to the model, or if it was a choice. Looking over the web page on the Warhammer site, that didn’t really help. Searching Google also didn’t bring much to the situation. In the end I decided it was a choice and I went with the smaller sword and pistol rather than the great sword.

The next stage will be adding some scenic sand to the base and then undercoating the model.

Goblin Wolf Rider Mob

Across the desolate reaches of the Badlands and the dark canopies of the Great Forest, many Goblin tribes reject permanent settlements entirely, preferring a life of perpetual migration. They travel in immense, ramshackle caravans of creaking wagons, held together by spit, sinew, and stolen iron. To survive this hostile nomadic existence, these Goblins have mastered the taming of Giant Wolves—monstrous, agile predators bred for endurance and cruelty. Ahead of the main horde ride the Wolf Rider scouts, operating in lean, hungry packs. They are the eyes of the tribe, identifying enemy vulnerabilities and picking off isolated stragglers. On the battlefield, they are masters of harassment; they do not stand and fight, but instead encircle their prey, unleashing a hail of crude arrows before charging in to exploit the chaos. By the time the enemy prepares to strike back, the Wolf Riders have already vanished into the wilderness, leaving nothing but the wounded and the dead in their wake.

Legio Custodes Ares Gunship

The Ares Gunship is a potent terror weapon, bypassing enemy armies as it blazes over their lines in the shadow of its eclipse shields.

Using its immensely destructive Arachnus magna-blaze cannon against the monuments and edifices which an enemy culture hold most dear to their hearts, it strikes a decisive blow against their will to wage war.

This heavily-armed super-heavy gunship is ideal for taking out large targets such as monsters and vehicles, and even packs enough of punch to take down the void shields of Titans. It is protected by its eclipse shield, making it nigh-on impervious to return fire.

This Forge World model was on display at Warhammer World.

Orc Boyz

The battlefield trembles as Orc Boyz coalesce into unruly, rag-tag mobs, driven by a deafening chorus of bellows and war cries.

With zero regard for formation or tactical discipline, these frenzied regiments surge forward in a chaotic, enthusiastic tidal wave of green flesh. Clutched in their calloused fists are heavy, crude hand weapons—jagged choppas, rusted cleavers, and spiked clubs—paired with massive, dented iron shields. They do not fight with grace or finesse; instead, they hack, stab, and relentlessly batter their way through the enemy lines, relying on sheer mass and ferocious momentum to pulverize anything in their path.

82nd Anniversary of D-Day Landings 6th June 1944

It was eighty two years ago that the liberation of Europe began with Operation Overlord and the Normandy landings on the 6th June 1944.

In the depths of the Nothe Fort in Weymouth (as well as a civillian nuclear bunker (now abandoned)) there is a really beautiful 54mm scale model of the D-Day landings. Lots of different models in there including an Horsa glider. It is a representative model and does not reflect an actual beachhead.

Legio Custodes Gyrfalcon Pattern Jetbike

The Gyrfalcon Pattern Jetbike is a masterwork of Great Crusade-era engineering, a sleek and predatory silhouette defined by its elongated, aerodynamic chassis.

The Gyrfalcon is a fusion of ornate auric plating and exposed, high-output engine cowlings. Its hull is etched with the signature artistry of the Custodian Guard, belying the sheer raw power of the gravitic engines housed within—units capable of producing violent, overwhelming bursts of acceleration that blur the vehicle’s form to the naked eye.

Orc Big ‘Uns

Within the brutal hierarchy of the Orc tribes, might truly makes right. When an Orc grows larger, stronger, and more belligerent than his peers, he naturally gravitates toward others of his own formidable size. These massive brutes band together to form shock-infantry regiments known simply as Big ’Uns.

Driven by an insatiable desire to prove their dominance, they claim the best spoils of war and the centre of the battle line. The weapons they carry are rarely works of fine craftsmanship; instead, they wield massive, crude choppas and heavy clubs that lack sharp edges but more than make up for it in sheer weight. Much like the Big ’Uns themselves, these implements of destruction are blunt, devastatingly effective, and capable of crushing heavy plate armour through brute force alone.

Grand Cathay Peasant Levy

Peasant Levies form the numerical heart of Grand Cathay’s defensive strategy. Recruited from the sprawling villages, townships, and rural settlements that dot the landscape beyond the empire’s massive walled metropolises, these soldiers represent the common folk answering the call to arms.

Coronus Grav-carrier

The Coronus Grav-carrier is a hallmark of the Legio Custodes motor pool, blending heavy protection with a level of grace that puts standard Imperial tanks to shame. As the technological ancestor to the Pallas and Caladius patterns, this skimmer ensures the Golden Legion reaches the front lines with unmatched speed, bypassing difficult terrain and avoiding the quagmire of static warfare.

Orc Warboss on Wyvern

Reeking of rot and malice, Wyverns are foul, filthy beasts whose heavy jaws snap shut with rows of jagged, grime-coated teeth. They are thoroughly unpleasant, hyper-violent monsters—which makes them the absolute perfect mount for any Orc Warboss with enough brute force to beat them into submission and enough sheer ignorance to try it in the first place.
