If you watch the new Doctor Who trailer one of the things that you will find is a Dalek in British Army colours…
Interesting!
It would appear that there are Orky Copters on show at the Forge World Open Day 2010.
Alas I couldn’t make it this year, so like everyone else I am waiting for photographs…
In their latest newsletter, Forge World have announced that they will at their Open Day show off some exciting Ork Stompa conversion kits.

First of a new set of resin upgrades for the plastic Stompa kit, we have a titan-killing Claw Arm, a new Ork Stompa Head complete with the baleful gaze of Mork (or possibly Gork) and fighting-platform jaw, and the devastating if dangerously erratic Lifta-Droppa! These wonderfully ramshackle looking sets have been designed by Stuart Williamson, with crew by Mark Bedford.
Does this mean I need to buy another Stompa?
A Squiggoth that was entered into the GamesDay 2006 Golden Demon awards.

It is a nice concept, but though the painting looks quite good, the overall composition and basing of the model does let it down in my opinion. I am not sure if this is a Warhammer 40000 model or a Warhammer Fantasy Battle model, it’s not a clear concept. I like it, but I would like it even more if the overall concept had worked.
Having said all that it did get Gold!

Grey Knights can use Land Raiders, when I first started putting this force together I knew that if I was going to get a Land Raider it would have to be the Forge World MkIIB Land Raider.
However I was also lucky enough to receive a second Land Raider as a present. It was the Terminus model, however I decided to build it as a standard Land Raider.
Having made the model I gave it a black undercoat.

I kept the weapons as separate assemblies, I would also be adding the tracks later too.

Now I made a mistake when I ordered my Mark IIb Land Raider, you get a set of doors and I (foolishly) asked them to replace the supplied eagle doors with Grey Knights Land Raider doors. Now what I didn’t realise was that the side doors on the sponson are not the same size as the Land Raider doors, but are in fact the same size as Rhino side doors. So the Grey Knight doors are too big! However this meant I could use them on this new Land Raider.
Notice how the doors are at the rear, it never made sense to me to have the main weaponry firing in the way of the side doors… so the main lascannons are at the front and the access doors at the rear.

These two tanks are part of the Forge World Siege of Vraks display.

This is the Shadowsword.

This is the Macharius Heavy Tank.

This is from the amazing Siege of Vraks diorama by Forge World.
