Ork Aircraft Traktor Launch Trolley
I am continuing to work on my Ork Aircraft Traktor and having undercoated the launch trolley with a black undercoat I went to work on painting it.
I gave the plane carrying trailer/launcher a drybrush of Tin Bitz. I then gave the model a heavy drybrush of Boltgun Metal. I then added a lot of rust using Chestnut Ink mixed with some Blazing Orange to remove the gloss from the ink.
The Ork Fighter Bommer sits on this trolley.
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.
More photographs from this game.

Epic Imperial Guard Salamander
Here is an Imperial Guard Salamander from Simon’s collection slowly moving through the ruins of an Imperial ruined city.
The Salamander command vehicle is one of the many vehicles based on the flexible Chimera chassis. Armoured Company command sections are often equipped with the Salamander Command vehicle, allowing them and their Chimera borne infantry keep up during an assault and support the tanks.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
I am pretty sure that these are Griffon hulls, as for the gunners, well would you believe me if I said they were Ork Buggy Gunners?
Hellhammer

Epic Airfield
This is the wonderful Epic Aeronautica Imperialis Forge World Airfield which was on display at GamesDay 2008 (and other shows). It is also featured in the Modelling Masterclass Volume I.
Really nicely done and beauifully painted aircraft too.
I really like the tundra snow effect and scenery, very well done.
Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor basecoat
I have added more of the Repressor basecoat.
I used the Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre.
At this point the Dozer Blade is not attached and will be glued on once the model has been painted fully.
See the full workbench feature on the Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor.
Tau vs Imperial Guard
Back in 2001 at the UK GamesDay, flavour of the month was Tau. Many of the demonstration games used Tau. In this game Imperial Guard defend their city from Tau attack.

Imperial Guard Malcador Heavy Tank
Named after a mysterious figure from the Imperium’s earliest days, Malcador the Sigillite (-a close advisor to the Emperor during the Battles of Unification, and the man credited with founding the Administratum of Terra), the tank is a mobile fortress, heavily armed and armoured but slow. Mounting multiple heavy bolters for all-round defence, side-sponson weapons and a demolisher cannon in a limited-traverse hull mount.

It’s back…
In a limited release, Games Workshop are re-releasing Space Hulk.
From the depths of space an ancient vessel drifts slowly towards the Imperium of Mankind – a space hulk. Within its confines, untold thousands of Genestealers slowly emerge from hibernation. The Space Marines must enter the cramped corridors and tomb-like chambers of the ancient ship to defeat this alien menace.
Space Hulk is a board game for two players, recreating the battles fought between the Space Marines and Genestealers. One player commands the Space Marines as they carry out deadly missions in the ancient Space Hulk, and the other commands the horde of Genestealers opposing them. Space Hulk’s fast-paced rules simulate the tense atmosphere of a mission deep inside the cramped confines of a derelict space hulk, where split-second decisions are needed for victory.
This boxed game contains: a 23-page Rulebook, a 47-page Mission book and 35 finely-detailed, plastic Citadel miniatures, including: 11 Space Marine Terminators, one Space Marine Terminator Librarian, 22 Genestealers, and one Broodlord.
Also included are: 105 gaming counters, 24 corridors, 10 rooms, eight crossroads, eight T-junctions, six corner sections, four dead ends, four end pieces, 20 doors with plastic stands, one mission status display, and three plastic mission objectives, including: a dead Space Marine on throne, a Blood Angels artefact and a Cyber-Altered Task Unit. Plus a sand timer and five bone-coloured dice unique to this game.
I was never that into Space Hulk, I have never bought the game in its earlier incarnations. Not to say I have never played, I have had a few games.
I am considering a purchase, but I suspect I won’t. What about you, are you going to buy a copy?
