These Elven sailing ships for Warhammer Fantasy Battle were on display in Warhammer World.

Dystopian Wars Airfield Set
This set contains three medium-sized hangers, two zeppelin towers and one communications building.
This was very much an impulse buy, but I was inspired recently by some Dystopian Wars pictures that I recently posted to the blog.
As with virtually all Dystopian Wars castings these are very clean and no flash.
Building Comparisons
As you are no doubt aware, Battlefront have been releasing some new buildings for Flames of War.
As I already have the 15mm Total Battle Miniatures ruins in my collection I was intrigued to see how they compared to the new French buildings from Battlefront for Flames of War. One thing I have found is that when a manufacturer says 15mm this may not always be the same 15mm that another company uses.
Here are a series of photographs of the Calais House next to various 15mm ruins from Total Battle Miniatures.
As you can see they do fit in quite well.
Here is the Calais House compared to the ruins from the Jagdpanther boxed set.
Time to get painting the ruins methinks.
Tichi-Huchi’s Raiders
Tichi-Huchi’s Raiders Skink Horned One Riders.
From Warhammer World.
Bastogne Church
I am really pleased with my new Flames of War buildings, so I am looking forward to seeing and probably purchasing the Bastogne Church that will be released in December.
Looks like a nice piece of scenery.
Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates
Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates are a Regiment of Renown. These are the ‘Eavy Metal versions in Warhammer World. I always liked the idea of these models, they are still available on the GW website
Dreadfleet
In the display cabinets at Warhammer World was a set of Dreadfleet.
These are really nicely painted models. I did quite like the concept of Dreadfleet, however I didn’t get a copy. It reminded me very much of Man O War, a game I did buy but only played a few times.
I think if I was going to to play a fantasy naval game I would go with Spartan Games and Uncharted Seas.
Ultramarines Life Size Rhino
Just outside Warhammer World in the car park is the full size Rhino that was originally used as a promotional piece for the THQ Dawn of War video game.
THQ gave the Rhino to Games Workshop who then gave it a repaint in Ultramarines colours.
15mm Ruined Café
I already have two of the ruined buildings from the Total Battle Miniatures range of Western Europe 15mm buildings. I was lucky enough to get two more for my birthday from Simon, thank you. He gave me the ruined cafe and ruined shop with passage. This photograph is from the manufacturer.
The ruined cafe is a really nice building and comes complete with some “pavement” out the front that would have been used with tables and chairs.
It’s a nice casting with clean detail and looks very effective.
I will probably use a similar method to the one I used with the other ruins. After washing the resin I will give the model a white undercoat and then use a combination of washing and drybrushing to bring out the detail.
15mm Ruined Shop with Passage
I already have two of the ruined buildings from the Total Battle Miniatures range of Western Europe 15mm buildings, the ruined three houses and ruined four houses. I was lucky enough to get two more for my birthday from Simon, thank you. He gave me the ruined cafe and ruined shop with passage.
The ruined shop with passage is a nice model, though because it is ruined, you wouldn’t realise that there was a passage.
This is the photograph from the manufacturer.
And here is the unruined version.
It’s a nice casting with clean detail and looks very effective.
I will probably use a similar method to the one I used with the other ruins. After washing the resin I will give the model a white undercoat and then use a combination of washing and drybrushing to bring out the detail.
The first stage after washing the resin will be to remove the mould lubricant and then clean the flash from the casting, especially the windows and the doors.
