Plastic Imperial Guard BaneBlade

In the latest issue of White Dward (#333) we finally find out the price of the new plastic Imperial Guard BaneBlade.

It’s £60!

It comes in a big box and as well as seven sprues (250 odd parts) you also get a chaos sprue, a traitor sprue and an Ork sprue for potential conversions (or so I’ve heard).

I have also heard that GW shops in the UK will be getting two models around or on the 13th September. One they will be build and one to show people the parts.

It actually goes on sale on the 13th October in the UK, however I suspect that we will almost certainly see the new model on sale at GamesDay at the end of September, if it isn’t there on sale then I will eat my blog!

Imperial Guard Armoured Company

An Epic Imperial Guard Armoured Company moves through the ruins of an Imperial city.

I do like these Epic miniatures and though they were fiddly to put together (these are the Epic40K era miniatures) compared to the current Epic Armageddon miniatures I like the flexibility that the multi-part miniatures allowed.

Etched Brass from Forgeworld

In my recent order to Forgeworld I took the opportunity to order one of the etched brass pieces which Forgeworld have been selling over the last few years.

They are much smaller than you think they will be, just 4½” long.

However despite the smaller than expected size I was impressed with the quantity and quality of the designs.

I will be using them on my Repressor, Razorback and Mark IIb Land Raider.

I also took the opportunity to add some “burn” weathering to the flamer.

I have also been tidying up the armour connectors and painting them in Chaos Black over the drybrushed Boltgun Metal in order to make the armour look a little smarter and neater.
