Photographs from the French Golden Demon competition are now online, some great painting and models, including the excellent Ork Battlewagon above.

Urban Basing Kit
There are some gaming things I buy which I later think, why on earth did I buy that! Then there are gaming things I buy which I now wish I had bought at least five times rather than just the once!
One of those things is the Urban Basing Kit which was released as part of Cities of Death. The box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings. It was a limited edition and though since then Games Workshop have released a Warhammer 40k Basing Kit, personally I don’t think it is as good as the original urban basing kit.
I would have bought five, but they were very difficult to get hold of, and when I did find them, the shop only had one left…
One of the urban bases I have made using the kit was given (as per my Ork bases) a base coat of Codex Grey.

Space Marine Devastator Squad
There were some wonderful armies on display at GamesDay 2007. This Space Marine Devastator Squad was from a really nice Space Marine army.
More photographs of Space Marines.
Grot Bomb
The Forge World Grot Bomb Launcha is probably my favourite model of all time.
Having given my Grot Bomb a white undercoat, I gave it a basecoat of red paint.
Next stage will be a wash.

Ork Nobz on Bikes
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!
Space Marine Vindicator
There were some wonderful armies on display at GamesDay 2007. This Vindicator was from a really nice Space Marine army.
More photographs of Vindicators and Space Marines.
Planetstrike
Video for the new supplement coming from Games Workshop.
Looks interesting. Nice new scenery by the looks of things as well.

Ork Battlewagon with Supa-Kannon
On display at the Forge World Open Day was an Ork Battlewagon with a Supa-Kannon.
This comprises various parts as a conversion kit (not sure if it will be available as a complete model).
As well as the new GW Battlewagon, I would have thought this would fit on the original Forge World Battlewagon too.
A side view.
This is referred to by Forge World as a Supa-Kannon.
In the Ork Codex there is an upgrade for the Battlewagon which is called the KillKannon. Now is this a different weapon with different stats? At the moment we don’t know, but as a conversion kit for the KillKannon it would appear to fit the bill.
Also at the Open Day were various sketches one of which looks interesting with a Battlewagon with a huge rocket.
Looks like there is going to be some interesting new Ork stuff from Forge World.
