Having given the Ork Gunwagon a basecoat of Tausept Ochre I have given the other parts of the model a drybrush of Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
This is another view.
Next stage will be a wash.

Apocalypse
I have finally got my copy of the Apocalypse rulebook. I was kind of expecting that Santa would be bringing me a copy, however Santa saw that I had received in the post the Forge World Apocalypse book and assumed (wrongly) that I had gone out and bought it myself!
So there I was with the Forge World book and no actual Apocalypse book, so I went out in the sales and bought a copy (and alas it wasn’t reduced).
I am kind of disappointed with it, I don’t know maybe I was expecting more. It’s a pity there aren’t more colour pictures, I guess I was spoiled by the Forge World version which at £20 is £10 cheaper and seems to have a lot more colour in it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the big four page spreads, the Ork spread of islands is fantastic and very inspiring. I also like the armoured train and termite which are shown.
Maybe I was expecting more from the rules, maybe I wanted more datasheets for my Orks.
So far I have not had a game of Apocalypse but will do so at some point in the future, a nice big game against Simon, he has Imperial Guard (lots of tanks and guns) and Space Marines, whilst I will be using my Orks and Inquisitorial forces, now there’s an alliance which will take some justifying…
Ork Submersible
Well according to a few rumours flying around at the moment it is highly likely that Games Workshop will be releasing an Apocalypse datasheet for an Ork submersible.
Able to carry sixty boyz it will also have a huge gun as well.
Excellent.
Eldar Revenant Titan
Forge World’s excellent Eldar Revenant Titan on display at GamesDay 2004.
I am never sure whether I like this model or not. Don’t get me wrong the paint job (by George Dellapina if I remember correctly) is excellent. I do like the sculpting, the lines and the pose. I guess my problem is that for the Warhammer 40K universe it looks too light footed, too flimsy, too featherweight!
But then again I am not an Eldar player so what do I know?
