The Skullhammer is the delight of many a Big Mek, a clanking hissing contraption inviariably made from looted parts.
On display at GamesDay 2007.

Epic Imperial Guard Hydra
Here is an Imperial Guard Hydra conversion from Simon’s collection.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
It’s a Chimera hull (an artillery hull) but with an AA turret. Now I can’t recall the origin of that AA weapon.
Ork Pulsa Rokkit
One model which worked well in Epic was Pulsa Rokkits.
There use to be a metal version for Warhammer 40K, but Pulsa Rokkits were kind of ignored for a few years
In the current version of Warhammer 40K there are no models and no rules in the new Ork Codex. However there are rules for Apocalypse.
As a result I am thinking about building one for my 40K Orks using a 1/300th Space Shuttle kit.
I am less interested in the Shuttle, more interested in using the rocket boosters and the fuel tank!
Hmmm.
Imperial Guard clearing an Ork Settlement
At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games. One such game featured an Ork settlement under attack from the Imperial Guard. Here we see the Imperial Guard on the top of the settlement.
I wonder if they have managed to clear the building of all the Orks?

River craft
I took a wealth of photographs at GamesDay 2005. There were many games on display including some very nice Warhammer Historical games of which these river craft looked very nice.
The painting was excellent and very inspiring.
Not sure if they were just scenery or involved in the game!

Grey Knights Land Speeder Crew
Having worked a lot of my Grey Knights Land Speeder, one of the key components is the replacement crew. Here is the finished crew in situ.
I could have used the included plastic Space Marine crew, but in the end I used some metal Grey Knights models. I started with a black basecoat and then gave the armour a basecoat of Boltgun Metal. This was followed with the gold metal parts been given a base coat of Brazen Brass.
After painting the base coats for the purity seals and other iconology on the Grey Knights, I gave the purity seals a top coat of Bleached Bone and highlighted with white paint. I then added text and writing using a fine brush and thinned black paint.
I then cut the legs off…
Placing the crew in the Land Speeder gives an idea of the final effect I am trying to achieve.
Another view.

Eldar Revenant Titan
Forge World’s excellent Eldar Revenant Titan on display at GamesDay 2004.
I am never sure whether I like this model or not. Don’t get me wrong the paint job (by George Dellapina if I remember correctly) is excellent. I do like the sculpting, the lines and the pose. I guess my problem is that for the Warhammer 40K universe it looks too light footed, too flimsy, too featherweight!
But then again I am not an Eldar player so what do I know?

Warmaster Scenery
Warmaster is one of those games which I really like, but actually never do very much with in terms of modelling, painting or gaming! Maybe it’s time to do something about it in 2010!
This is one of the many Warmaster games which was on show at GW’s Bristol Conflict back in 2004. Really nice statue.

Victorian SF Imperial Guard Rough Riders
The main focus of Bristol Conflict 2003 (was it really six years ago now) was the tournament games. Yes there was a Forge World stand and yes there were demonstration games and yes there was a very very small Games Workshop retail stand, however the main reason people went was to play games.
One Imperial Guard army which caught my eye was a Victorian Science Fiction themed army which made extensive use of the Praetorian Imperial Guard figures.
It was a really nice army. This photograph shows the Rough Riders. The mechanically enhanced soldiers in the background are counted as Ogryns which I thought was a clever idea and a nice touch.

Great blog on someone else’s Praetorian Imperial Guard army.
