How many visitors…

As I did last year I posted photographs live from GamesDay 2009 to this blog. One impact is a huge rise in visitor numbers on the day and the following few days after the event.

Of course the interest doesn’t last for ever and after a while the visits drop to their pre-GamesDay levels as you can see from the graph.

Of course one of the reasons for the huge spike is that everyone out there is interested in what new and exciting stuff is been seen for the first time at GamesDay. This year there was less new stuff than previous years so very little exciting stuff to photo and upload. I did though upload a fair few photographs, in the main of the fantastic Ork Shanty Town from Forge World.

I do hope that those visitors who enjoyed my GamesDay coverage will continue to visit the site and enjoy the many photographs I post and details of what I am working on, on my workbench.

Ork Trukks

A couple of Ork Trukks of mine about to move across the battlefield.

The Trukks are quite old and seem to come out in black when photographed, whereas they are quite rusty really. With the Trukks I am intending to use the old Trukks as Warbuggies.

The scenery are my desert boards in an unfinished state.

Cities of Death

This is from a game we had.

The scenery is a mix of Cityfight, the gothic ruins and Forge World. Mixed in there are some Forge World barricades and Warhammer 40K barbed wire.

Yes there in the middle is an unexploded Grot Bomb with probably one very confused, but very lucky grot.

See more photographs of Warhammer 40000 games.

Grey Knight Terminator

One of my Christmas presents was a Grey Knight Terminator.

The model goes together very nicely.

I used Citadel sand on the base and resin and slate from the Warhammer 40000 Basing Kit.

One of the issues of being one of the slowest painters in the world is that when you eventually do paint the models, you can find that they have been replaced by newer plastic versions, which sometimes are better, sometimes not, but usually different…

Bridge over troubled waters…

One of the impressive games this year at GamesDay 2009 was the mega game which comprised a large Imperial city surrounded by a defensive wall. Outside the wall was a bridge.

On the bridge the forces of chaos are moving to attack the Imperial City.

The model builders had used lots and lots of Imperial Bastions and Shrine of the Aquila. For the citybuildings they used the Cities of Death building kits. There were a fair few Valkyries flying about the game too.
