Forge World Ork Halftrakk Flatbed

The flatbed of my Ork Halftrakk was sprayed with a Humbrol brown paint. I then gave it a wash of Devlan Mud. Not sure if I like using this wash over the usual brown ink and paint wash I usually use. I usually use a wash consisting of brown ink, paint and water.

I added some more washes to the body of the Half Trakk using Devlan Brown and Badab Black.

Next stage will be a drybrush.

Flames of War Rulebook

Though I did buy the Flames of War Open Fire starter set I have been thinking about buying the full size rulebook, there is something nice about a big hardback book.

It costs £30 from Hobbycraft where I bought the Open Fire set and £30 from the main Flames of War website, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the Flames of War Rulebook on Amazon (and sold by Amazon) for just over £20.

In the US it is cheaper than the $50 list price at under $40 however it is sold by third party sellers and not Amazon.

Forge World Ork Halftrakk Chassis

I added the front “bumper” and frontal armour to the chassis. The chassis was then given a drybrush with Boltgun Metal.

Quite pleased with the result so far.

What I do like about this model is how it turn the Trukk into something a bit heavier and more robust.

Incoming! Blood Angels

From the recent Games Workshop newsletter…

The Blood Angels are one of the most popular Space Marine Chapters. They fought at the Emperor’s side during the earliest days of the Imperium as one of the original Legions. Ten thousand years later, and one of the longest-running Chapters, they are still shaped by the deeds of their Primarch Sanguinius. Few Space Marine Chapters are as prolific and loyal in their defence of the Imperium as the Blood Angels, though a flaw in their gene seed makes them susceptible to the Black Rage and the Red Thirst – all-consuming curses that turn them savage and blood-thirsty in battle…

In February 2011, the Blood Angels will receive more reinforcements, including never-before-seen models – visit the website tomorrow for more information from the Studio in their Incoming! article. If you want to start massing your own Angelic Host, or are looking to bolster your troops, then here are some essential items to prepare for the new arrivals in February.

I wonder if this is going to be one of the new never-before-seen models?

Stormraven

I would think so!

Undercoating the Stompa

I decided that I would before any black undercoating, I would give my Stompa a light white undercoat. This would then enable the black to adhere properly.

Before the black undercoat I gave both arms a white undercoat.

The head was then given a light white undercoat.

The rokkits were also given a light white undercoat.

As was the Shoota Turret.

The main body was also given a light white undercoat.
