Coming Soon – Shadowsword Conversion Kit

As you might have already guessed with the advent of the plastic BaneBlade, Forgeworld have been working on conversion kits which use the new plastic kit.

This is Daren Parrwood’s work in progress of a Shadowsword conversion kit.

The target price is £90-£100 which is two thirds of the price of a full resin Shadowsword, but has the advantage that the plastic part of the kit should be easier to put together than the resin parts of the current model.

Certainly there are other conversion possibilities as well including Ork looted versions and Chaos versions.

GamesDay 2007

Today I was at GamesDay 2007, and yes I did take a load of pictures (over 200) and yes I am uploading them as I speak.

Next year I think I will use a mobile phone and Shozu so that they are uploaded as I take them… that will be different.

I did enjoy the show, much more than last year. I suspect this may have been because there were lots of new Orks on show. Last year (for me anyway) I had already seen all the preview stuff, this year there was loads I hadn’t seen.

Here is the new Ork Trukk which will be out on the 7th January (in the UK).

Forgeworld had some nice displays, but didn’t seem to have as much new and unknown stuff as they use to have in previous years (maybe they are just getting it out faster).

They did though have the Reaver Titan.

Eventually you will be able to find all my photographs on the site.

Ork Stormboyz Nob

One of my Ork units I do like are my Stormboyz (even despite Simon calling them the Lipstick Boyz) however they are leaderless, until now!

Games Workshop do produce a Stormboyz Nob, however it is only available by mail order and not from their shops.

So when I was up in Nottingham recently I did get the Stormboyz Nob when I visited Warhammer World.

It is a nice model and will certainly give my Stormboyz mob a bit more punch.
