Warhammer 40K Diorama
This Warhammer 40K Diorama was one of the displays at Warhammer World.
Movie Tiger
In one of the displays at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford is a “Tiger” tank hiding in the ruins of a building.
I say “Tiger” as this is no Tiger Tank, this is a fake Tiger Tank.
It’s one of two tanks made for the film, Saving Private Ryan. They are based on the chassis of the T-34 with a new superstructure and a new turret. The wheel arrangements are obviously not like a real Tiger tank, but as they have hidden it in a building, you could be mistaken…
Legio Custodes Pallas Grav-attack
Beautifully painted Legio Custodes Pallas Grav-attack on display at Warhammer World.
Designed as a high manoeuvrability hunter-killer, the Pallas Grav-attack is a rapid strike vehicle utilising advanced repulsor-lift technology. Filling a similar battlefield role to the various patterns of Land Speeder and Attack Speeder of the Legiones Astartes, the Pallas has superior agility, improved armour, inbuilt shielding technology, and more powerful weaponry in the form of its twin-linked Arachnus blaze cannon – an expertly engineered weapon that can successfully eliminate both infantry and armoured targets.
Top Ten Blog Posts 2019
In 2019 I went at writing and posting much more and this year I published 143 blog posts. Compare that to 2018 when I wrote just 21 blog posts.
Here are my top ten blog posts in reverse order. As is typical most posts are from previous years.
Tenth most popular was the start of a workbench feature on the Forge World Ork Big Trakk.
Ninth post was photographs from Dwarf City under attack. This was of my favourite display game at GamesDay 2008, it was the Dwarf City that was under attack by a sea borne Orc and Goblin army.
I have added a new gallery of this display game on the site with higher resolution photographs.
Post at number eight was this one on the then new(ish) miniature on display at the Forge World Open Day of the Nurgle Daemon Prince.
Post number seven was on the then new Forge World conversion kits for the plastic Baneblade model.
Sixth most popular post was from 2019 and was a little bit of a rant about the Warhammer 40K version of Monopoly!
At number five was another Dwarf City under attack post.
The number four post was from this year, it was about the availability of PDFs of GZG’s Dirtside Rules.
At number three was a post about the upgrade sprue for the Ork Battlewagon from 2009.
My second most popular post was a photograph of a Beautiful Dystopian Wars game.
My top post in 2019 was this post about that Dwarf City under attack.
Followers of the blog will have realised I am now adding new pages to the site as I migrate the old site to this new one. Taking advantage to add higher resolution photographs and update links and images.
Marmon-Herrington Mark VI Armoured Car
This Marmon-Herrington Mark VI Armoured Car was on display at Bovington Tank Museum.
The Marmon-Herrington Armoured Car was a series of armoured vehicles that were produced in South Africa and adopted by the British Army during the Second World War. RAF Armoured Car companies possessed them, but seem never to have used them in action.
The Mark VI was a return to the 8-wheeled design. Powered by two Mercury V8 engines with an eight-wheel drive steered on the front and rear wheels. Two prototypes were built, one with a 2 pounder and other with a 6 pounder gun in an open-topped three-man turret with electric powered traverse and protected by 10 to 30 mm of sloped armour. Additional armament consisted of 2 or 3 machine guns. The two-pounder equipped version was sent to the UK for assessment, the transmission proved unreliable suffering several axle failures. The 2-pdr is now in the Bovington Tank Museum, the other in South Africa.
