Grey Knights Land Speeder Crew

Having worked a lot of my Grey Knights Land Speeder, one of the key components is the replacement crew. I could have used the included plastic Space Marine crew, but in the end I used some metal Grey Knights models. I started with a black basecoat and then gave the armour a basecoat of Boltgun Metal. This was followed with the gold metal parts been given a base coat of Brazen Brass.

I then started painting the base coats for the purity seals and other iconology on the Grey Knights.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers – Tallarn

As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.

Having given the models a white undercoat, I then gave the models a basecoat of Desert Yellow. This was followed by a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

Ork Flakk Wagon

I think my favourite model from GamesDay 2008 was Forge World’s Ork Flakk Wagon.

From a gaming perspective it can’t really be considered too important as I guess not too many gamers use aircraft in their games (but hey you never know).

From a model perspective it is just a conversion kit, it is not a full resin kit. It looks as though as well as new crew you also get a new engine too.

I really do like the way it looks, very Orky.

In my original post on the Flakk Wagon just after GamesDay I said:

I also like it, because it means that Forge World are making more Ork stuff and I hope that this isn’t a one off, but just the start of lots of new stuff.

At the Forge World Open Day in April we saw various work in progress models from Will Hayes so that wave of Ork stuff from Forge World is on its way.

Sisters of Battle Repressor

Though I have been modelling and painting my own Forge World Repressor for my Inqusitorial Stormtroopers, the model was really developed for the Sisters of Battle (though also used by the Adeptus Arbites). I do like this model (which is why I have one).
