Forge World downed Valkyrie

Forge World downed Valkyrie which was in the Forge World displays at GamesDay 2007.

Warmaster Goblin Fanatic Cannon

I painted and based this model, and sadly is one of the few Warmaster models that I got round to painting.

British DUKW Section

Decided to convert a US DUKW section for use by my British forces.

The DUKW (colloquially known as duck) is a six-wheel-drive amphibious truck that was designed by a partnership under military auspicies of Sparkman & Stephens and General Motors Corporation during World War II for transporting goods and troops over land and water and for use approaching and crossing beaches in amphibious attacks.

It’s a boxed set of two models.

These are very nice models.

Snowy Streets

These snowy streets are from a game at GamesDay 2008.

I placed the camera on a timer, closed down the aperture and kept the shutter open for a second or two.

More undercoating

After masking the Kill Bursta I gave the model a black undercoat.

Slight issue was that the black matte spray I was using came out slightly glossy!

See the full workbench feature on the Kil Bursta.

Downed Land Speeder

This downed Land Speeder was an entry into the GamesDay 2009, Golden Demon awards. Really nice job on this Forge World model.

Flames of War TOG2 Mid-War Monster

The Tank, Heavy, TOG 2 was a prototype British super-heavy tank design produced in the early part of the Second World War in case the battlefields of northern France turned into a morass of mud, trenches and craters as had happened during the First World War.

In the end it never went into production, but as part of the Flames of War Mid-War Monsters range you can buy it and use it in alternate history games. I liked the concept and the model on the Flames of War website is quite inspiring.

The Flames of War boxed set contains three of these monsters.

I do hope that we see future “monsters” for Flames of War, there are some nice concepts and ideas out there for both Early-War and Late-War, though I have a hunch that these did not sell as well as expected.

See the workbench feature on these huge tanks.

Flying Ork Battlewagon

Here is a conversion that was entered into the 2009 Golden Demon awards. — Flying Battlewagon, which is a conversion that was entered into the 2009 Golden Demon awards.

This bizarre flying ork Battlewagon was an entry in the GamesDay 2009 Golden Demon awards.

It uses many parts, but a key one appears to be an Eldar Falcon hull. Not sure if I like it or not. Quite a dramatic pose and quite a good paint job, but there is something that doesn’t sit right with me. Not sure what it is, maybe the concept, I am sure Orks would salvage Eldar equipment, but would they conjure something like this up? Of course this is Warhammer 40K and to be honest most things are possible.

Grot Tank IV

The lunatic product of the deranged imaginations of grot riggers and scavs that have spent far too long basking in the insane genius of the Big Meks, Grots Tanks are diminutive armoured vehicles made to imitate the far larger Ork Wagons and Tanks.

The set contains four different variant chassis, tracks, exhausts and turrets as well as four fantastic Grot Tank Kommandaz and 5 different, incredibly shooty, weapon options.

I picked up a set of Grot Tanks on a recent visit to Warhammer World. After washing the resin, I then looked at the four main bodies and tracks deciding which was going to go with which.

This combination, especially the turret had a very German Tiger tank or Panzer IV look to it. I decided to arm it with a Big Shoota and a Rokkit Launcha (as it has a secondary weapon bay in the hull. I do like the tracks that I’ve used for this model.
