I was lucky enough to get for one Christmas a few years back two packs of Foundry Old West Outlaws (thank you Simon).
Here are three of the Outlaws based and undercoated with a white undercoat.
Have a look at my Old West miniatures Gallery.

Ork Gun Tractor
At GamesDay 2008 as GW showed off their new plastic modular display boards, one model slightly overshadowed it; Colin Grayson’s HUGE BIG Ork Gun.
Slightly comical in some respects.
This was the rear of the Ork vehicle that was towing it.
See the front of the vehicle.

Flying bases
When I am using GW flying bases I usually like to “flock” the main base and only keep the stand the clear plastic.
For these I used some resin pieces from one of the scenery boxes. I will then use GW sand to flock the base. After that I will paint the base before drybrushing and adding extra scenic features.
Ork Mega Dread
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. There were many of the new Forge World models including the excellent Mega Dread.
I really like this model, which combined with Killa Kans and Dreadnoughts gives the Orks a variety of walkers that you would expect to find in their forces. Mine is well under way and I used it (in an undercoated state) in a recent game.
Chaos Brass Scorpion
On the community feed I came across this excellent Chaos Brass Scorpion.
Well painted and nicely different yet similar to the Forge World painted version.
Ork Garage
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. They used various models to make the scenery. In this photograph Forge World have constructed an Ork garage.
So this is where they build those Trukks.
A very nice piece of modelling.
Lemans Russ Demolisher and Leman Russ
Death Korps of Krieg Leman Russ Main Battle Tank and Leman Russ Demolisher fighting during the Siege of Vraks.
This is from the amazing Siege of Vraks diorama by Forge World.
See more photographs of the Imperial Guard Leman Russ Battle Tank.
You can see all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.
More on the Ork Battlewagon
Having made the chassis, the next stage was adding the superstructure.
Still kept the model separate for painting purposes.
Another view.
This is how it looks with the provided turret, though I have decided not to use the turret with the model.
Though in the above photographs it looks like the wheels and tracks are fixed, I kept them unstuck so that the model would be easier to paint.
See the full workbench feature on the Ork Battlewagon.
See photographs of completed Ork Battlewagons from various shows.
Victory of the Daleks
Fair bit of interest following my posting of the Doctor Who trailer and the World War Two British Army Dalek.
Well here’s a picture of another!
They appear in the third episode to be broadcast on the 17th April entitled Victory of the Daleks.
Not going to post any other information that I have (accidently) seen, as I don’t like spoilers. This though looks like it could be a fun episode and certainly one with plenty of gaming potential.
Return of the Sea Devils – Doctor Who
I really enjoyed the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who.
An enjoyable romp with time travel, aliens, a threat to the Earth and regeneration issues.
I had my reservations about Matt Smith and Steven Moffat taking over the lead role and executive productor respectively. However I think my reservations were unwarranted. An excellent first episode, though a couple of things caught my eye.
Firstly in the scene where the Doctor asks is the planet Earth protected we see a (classic) Sea Devil.
This to me is a bit of a clue that we may see them in a future episode.
So I ask are these the new Sea Devils?
The screen capture is from the bit at the end of the episode where we see what is coming up in the new season.
The (heat) weapons and the mesh on the arms is very similar to the classic Sea Devils.
Steven Moffat did say back in July 2008 that we shouldn’t expect to see old monsters.
Steven Moffat has told Doctor Who fans to expect “new monsters” when he becomes the show’s executive producer and lead writer.
He told fans not to expect too many appearances from old characters.
“We’re not in the business of being nostalgic, we’re making nostalgia for the future, new monsters, new friends.”
Well it looks like we will be seeing a few, the Weeping Angels (created by Moffat) are in the new series, we have seen the Daleks and now Sea Devils.
Should be a good series.
