This is a really nice piece of Warhammer Fantasy scenery from Forge World which was on display at GamesDay 2004.
I have been meaning to buy myself one, but will only do so once I have painted other pieces of Forge World scenery I bought in the past.

Ork Big Trakk with Kill Kannon
GameDay Germany 2009 had very little “new stuff” which hadn’t been seen before. However on display on the Forge World stand were some new models (and the Flakk Wagon).
One new impressive model was the Ork Big Trakk with Kill Kannon.
We have not seen this model before, but it was obviously built upon from the Ork Trukk concepts from the Forge World Open Day.
Does make me wonder if this is a complete resin kit, or if it still makes use of the plastic Ork Trukk kit. I would suspect the former.
Nice model.

Ork Trukk with Big Lobba
GameDay Germany 2009 had very little “new stuff” which hadn’t been seen before. However on display on the Forge World stand were some new models (and the Flakk Wagon).
One new model was the Ork Trukk with Big Lobba.
The Big Lobba had been seen at the Forge World Open Day 2009, and though various Ork Trukk concepts had also been seen, this one hadn’t. It has a new cab and rear section.
Now this is something which was mentioned in the instructions for the Ork Half Trakk about combining the Half Trakk chassis with different Forge World kits (which at the time I thought, what Forge World kits). It is obvious to me that you could combine the new parts of the trukk above with the Half Trakk chassis.
Also in that picture in the foreground are some new grots, ammo runts and grot riggers.

Grey Knights Razorback basecoat
If you have looked at my Grey Knights Landspeeder you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.
Having constructed my Razorback and added Grey Knights iconography I gave the model a black undercoat. The next stage was the basecoat and for that I am using the Tausept Ochre Foundation Paint as a basecoat. So why is it brown? I blogged about this back in 2007.
The next stage will be adding more of the basecoat.

Huns
I took a wealth of photographs at GamesDay 2005. There were many games on display including some very nice Warhammer Historical games of which the Huns game looked very nice. The painting was excellent and very inspiring.
You can see more pictures of historical wargaming in the historical miniatures gallery.
Grey Knights Dreadnought Weapons
An excellent birthday present I got, was a Grey Knights Dreadnought from Forgeworld. This is a fantastically detailed model, with lots of engravings, purity seals
The only thing missing are the arms???
Originally I wasn’t sure whether to go for the Grey Knights arms, or make as Mortis version… Yes I know the fluff doesn’t support Grey Knights Mortis pattern dreadnoughts, but when have I ever been one for following fluff to the letter… oh me the heretic!
In the end I decided on a Mortis pattern, with a Psycannon and twin Lascannons.
The Mk IV from Forgeworld is a really nice model, and when you look at the Venerable Dreadnought from the main Games Workshop, you wonder why they didn’t just copy the Forgeworld model.
The GW model looks clunky and as though the venerable components were just stuck on, whereas with the Forgeworld model the detailing is part of the model.
Not sure why I used a white undercoat!

Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack
I have ordered and received an Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack.
I have mainly purchased this as I prefer the look of the Deff-Rolla over the included front “prow” on the Battlewagon.
Not sure on what I will use the Killcannon, but may make a base for it and place it in the back of a Trukk or a Battlewagon.

Chimera vs Killa Kan
At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games. One such game featured an Ork settlement under attack from the Imperial Guard. Here an Ork Killa Kan attacks an Imperial Guard Chimera.
