I’ve always like the Krupp truck, probably as a result of buying the Matchbox 1/76th scale model kit.
You may recall an earlier blog post on the influence of Matchbox and Airfix kits on my purchasing decisions.
So was pleased to see that the truck was also available for Flames of War. Decided to get a couple even though I am building a Late War German force.
Heavy Ork Bommer from the Golden Demon awards at GamesDay 2010.
Nice concept that uses the Ork Battlewagon as a basis for the model. I have a slight issue that it does look a little too bulky to actually fly. Bigger wings and engines needed really.
Forge World’s big Ork tank mounts a huge gun ready to take on any Imperial BaneBlade or even Titan.
This is quite an easy model to put together.
The tracks were quite warped, however by immersing them in hot water it was straightforward to fix them to the suspension.
Unlike the Kil Krusha or the Big Trakk the tracks for the Kil Bursta were much easier to fit.
I do like the look of this model, the ramshackle thrown together look.
It does go well together.
The main engine is suitably Orky.
The front and rear hull was added to the model.
The parts fitted quite well.
This is one big tank.
See the full workbench feature on the Kil Bursta.
On Wednesday 26th October 1881 in Tombstone Arizona, Wyatt Earp, Morgan Earp, Virgil Earp, and Doc Holliday fought Frank McLaury, Tom McLaury, Billy Claiborne, Ike Clanton, and Billy Clanton. About 30 shots were fired in 30 seconds which left three men dead and three men wounded.
These four figures sculpted by Alan and Michael Perry are the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday from the gunfight at the OK Corral.
These Warhammer Historical Old West figures were on display at GamesDay 2004.
Sadly no longer available.
As well as the boxed set, I also have the German Panzergrenadier Platoon blister. It contains three squads.
This beautifully painted Tyranid Barbed Hierodule was in the Forge World display cabinets back at GamesDay 2005.
I really do like this model and the paint job is excellent.
Here is it next to the huge Harridan, but even though it looks small here it still towers over normal sized Tyranids.
More photographs of Tyranids.
The mid-season finale is on the 4th June, what is happening?
The mid-series finale promises to be an epic adventure with returning monsters, new enemies and long-standing secrets explained. You can see the Prequel below and we can confirm that episode 7 will involve Sontaran, Cyberman and Silurian action!
For the Emperor, well in Lego.
More pictures here.
It’s a bit of a mix of eras, as well as Darth Vader, you can see Clone Troopers and Darth Maul too… However regardless of that, it is one impressive Lego model.
I picked up the Grot Mega Tank at GamesDay 2010. It was available in limited numbers, but I was lucky enough to pick one up, before they sold out. I really do like this model alongside the Grot Tanks. The model is very ship like with battleship style turrets and a prow shaped bow. It is a very ramshackle vehicle and looks like (as it should) if the grots have just thrown it together from parts lying around the battlefield and stuff stolen from a Mek workshop.
After putting the model together and adding turrets, the next stage was the undercoat. I did a two part undercoat of white and black.
Black was used for the tracks and to provide shadow, whilst the top of the model was done with a white undercoat.
The next stage will be the basecoat. I am unsure at this point if I will use a spray or a brush.
When I first saw this wonderful boat building from the talented hands of Dave Andrews I thought what a clever idea.
It was in the displays at GamesDay 2006 alongside some other creations of Dave’s.
