I have been making some of the Forge World models I got at GamesDay 2009. I think I need a different superglue as the one I am using. The Loctite Precision sounds like it should be good, but basically it takes too long to dry… which is not why I use superglue!
Need to find a different glue. Don’t like Games Workshop superglue as when I tried it, after a couple of sessions using it, it became impossible to open!

To be honest I have not read any fan websites out there or even much of the official coverage, however I do have the following prediction to make about the end of and beginning of Doctor Who.
My prediction is… well select (highlight) the text below to see what it is.
My prediction is that we see the Doctor go back in time to the beginning of his life. A kind of reboot for Doctor Who.
Why?
Well first we see the return of the Time Lords which is a bit of a reboot!
Secondly look at William Hartnell’s TARDIS from the 1960s…
Now look at Matt Smith’s TARDIS.
Compare that to David Tennant’s TARDIS.
Notice that Matt’s and William’s TARDIS have the same white windows.
Well not long now to find out for sure…. though we might have to wait until April!
At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games. Many games featured the new buildings for Cities of Death.

Back in 2004 at the UK GamesDay, Forge World were showing off some new Epic miniatures, an Ork Battlewagon and a Gargantuan Squiggoth.
At this point lots of new Epic Ork stuff was coming out from Forge World and we expected to see lots and lots…
Little did we know that five years later, it would be 40K Ork stuff that would see the light of day and (Ork aircraft excepted) we would see virtually no new Epic Ork vehicles.
Will Epic rise again? Probably not, which is a pity.
Happy Christmas to all our readers.

Nice surprise from Games Workshop this morning, sneak peeks of new models including this interesting and exciting Ork Deff Dread.
Wonder what it looks like in its entirety?

From the new Forge World newsletter, Mek Boss Buzzgob is one of the new special characters from the forthcoming Imperial Armour Volume 8.
As well as the Mek Boss you also get two characterful Grot helpers.
Buzzgob is available for pre-order and will be available from the 25th January 2010.
Yay. Well done Forge World, my copy of Imperial Armour Apocalypse II arrived this afternoon via UPS.
It’s another excellent product from Forge World, superb production quality. Full of great pictures and writing.
Imperial Armour Apocalypse II is a 112 page, full-colour hardback which provides comprehensive and updated descriptions, background and rules for using all of Forge World’s recent models in your games of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse.
The book is packed with over fifty new Apocalypse datasheets accompanied by lavish photographs, ranging from legendary units like the mighty Reaver Battle Titan to the Daemon Lord Aetaos’rau’keres -Tzeentch’s Slayer of Souls. Included are new Forge World units such as the advanced Tau XV-9 Close Support Armour and the Lucius Pattern Dreadnought Drop Pod, new Apocalypse battle formations such as the savage Ork Mega-Rippa Krew and the lethal Eldar Death Web, and a few updated and unpublished datasheets as well. Also featured are an updated Apocalypse rules appendix, a unit index and some new optional Apocalypse rules and five new missions to play!
Was surprised to see in the Ork rules that Gunwagons can use the new Big Trakk rules.
It is available to order.
