This sounds interesting.
Warhammer 40,000 is one of the most eagerly anticipated MMOs on the horizon. As long time fans of Warhammer 40,000, we’re pulling out all the stops to deliver a game that will plunge players deep into this incredibly rich universe.
Not much more news.
With my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers I was giving them a desert feel I knew I was going to use sand, but also wanted some rocks as well, so I used some slate from the Warhammer 40K Urban Basing Kit. Having added the rocks I then using PVA (white glue) flocked the based with some Games Workshop sand. I do like the sand which has some small larger pieces of gravel, which adds a lot of nice texture.
Once dry I then painted the bases Bestial Brown.
I did water down the paint so it would flow into the sand and the gaps under the rocks.

At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games.
In one there was this Tau Orca.
I am not a fan of this paint job, what do you think? Does it fit in with the Manga style behind the Tau or is it too garish?

Dwarf Master Runelord Thorek Ironbrow and the Anvil of Doom in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
Thorek is the Master Runelord of Karak Azulans, some say, the greatest runelord alive. He is the only Runelord that has the knowledge to make use of the Rune of Doom, the very rune that gave the Anvils their name.
See more pictures of Dwarfs. See more photographs from GamesDay 2005.
My Ork Squiggoth prepares to move forward. This photograph was taken at a weird angle (don’t remember why) and on my unfinished desert terrain boards, which as a result are a dark purple-red colour.
This is the Forge World model and you can see how I painted it in my workbench feature on the model.
Of course the rules for this model are not in the standard rules or the Ork Codex.
I use to use the Forge World supplements, but more recently I have been using the rules from Apocalypse.
I am adding some Henchmen to my Inquistorial force. One of them is a trainee inquisitor, a Witchhunter Acolyte. The Acolyte looks like an interesting model to paint, what with the book and the big flame thingy.
Having flocked the base with Games Workshop modelling sand, the model was given a white undercoat. The model was given a basecoat of Vomit Brown.
Next stage was to give the equipment a base coat of Chaos Black.

This Aquila Lander was on display in the Forge World cabinets at GamesDay 2004.
Personally I was never a fan of the Aquila Lander it seemed just too different from other Imperial Navy aircraft or even Space Marine aircraft.
I much prefer the Arvus Lighter even though it is unarmed!
More photographs of the Aquila Lander.
Taken at GamesDay 2008, these Ork Nob Bikerz were on display for the first time.
I don’t have any bikes in my Ork army and only really like two of the three models available. I do quite like the Ork Warboss, but at £38 is slightly out of my budget, especially as I can get ⅔’s of an Ork Stompa for that!
One of the huge demonstration games on display at Bristol Conflict 2003 was the excellent Helm’s Deep from the Lord of the Rings game.
An amazing looking piece of scenery.
Of the many display games at GamesDay 2001, one of many which caught my eye was this Epic game involving the might of the Imperium. There are Space Marines fighting alongside the mighty Warlord Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
