Ork Gunwagon with Kannon
A Forge World Ork Gunwagon with Kannon that was entered into the GamesDay 2005 UK Golden Demon awards. Unfortunately the depth of field in this photograph is quite poor, which is down to having to take photographs without a tripod in many cases badly lit cases. Still you get the general idea behind the image.
See more photographs of Ork Gunwagons. How I made and painted my own Ork Gunwagon.

Grey Knights Razorback basecoat
If you have looked at my Grey Knights Landspeeder you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.
Having constructed my Razorback and added Grey Knights iconography I gave the model a black undercoat. The next stage was the basecoat and for that I am using the Tausept Ochre Foundation Paint as a basecoat. So why is it brown? I blogged about this back in 2007.
The next stage will be adding more of the basecoat as you can see this side still needs work.

Eldar Phoenix
Eldar Phoenix from a display game at GamesDay 2006.
The Eldar Phoenix is a heavily armed strike aircraft. Able to effectively engage both infantry and armour on the ground, while its sophisticated energy field protects it from enemy fire.
Blood Angels dropping in…
April sees the return of the Blood Angels.
This April the Blood Angels will be re-launched with an all-new Codex and range of plastic and metal miniatures. One of the oldest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, the Blood Angels have stood fast against the enemies of the Imperium since the Great Crusade and it was their Primarch Sanguinius, who laid down his life to aid the Emperor against Horus in the final hours of the Warmaster’s rebellion. The new Codex explores the background and history of these superhuman warriors like never before, and contains new artwork depicting some of their greatest battles and most powerful champions.
The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red.
Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor
I have added more of the Repressor basecoat.
The other side.
I used the Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre. This is taking much longer than I would like or expected!
At this point the Dozer Blade is not attached and will be glued on once the model has been painted fully.

Ork Trukk
The original Ork Trukk model was designed for Gorkamorka, and then became part of Warhammer 40K with Codex Orks. It was really way too small and needed to be updated, and updated it was in January 2008 with the release of the new Ork Trukk.
Trukks are designed to transport mobs of choppa-wielding Boyz into combat as quickly as possible. Each warband and clan will ‘kustomise’ its trukks to reflect their own predilictions. For example, a Goff vehicle will be functional with a large crew compartment, while the Evil Sunz almost always have turbo-charged engines and a red paint job.
I do like this model and think it is very Orky. You get a very thin box with two sprues, transfers and instructions.
The model was constructed as per the instructions, Generally I try and build as much of the model as possible to avoid having to glue painted parts together… The chassis and engine were the first parts I stuck together.
I then put the wheels together.
The wheels were then stuck to the chassis.
See the workbench feature on this Ork Trukk.
You can see how the Trukk was developed by Games Workshop from some of the photographs I took at GamesDay.
Skullhamma Battle Fortress
The Skullhammer is the delight of many a Big Mek, a clanking hissing contraption inviariably made from looted parts.
On display at GamesDay 2007.
When this model was first shown I did consider buying a BaneBlade to copy the conversion and create my own Skullhamma. However as I wasn’t too sure about how it would turn out, also time and money, decided I would leave the idea as just that an idea. In the end I got a Battlewagon.

Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun
I know some people don’t like the humourous aspects of the Orks, personally I do quite like those aspects. The concept behind the Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun of hoovering up snotlings and flinging them across the battlefield is just like so Orky.
The Shokk Attack Gun is a devastating Ork weapon that hurls Snotlings through the warp, sending them mad in the process. When they reappear, they are frenzied creatures, capable of bringing down the toughest of enemies – especially if they materialise inside an enemy’s armour!
It’s probably why I like the Grot Bomb Launcha so much. The metal Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun is a very nice model and you get the following metal parts.
They fit together quite easily, however it is quite difficult to ensure that all the parts fit.
