One of the reasons for going to GamesDay are the huge display games, my personal favourites are the ones form Forge World.
This one representing part of the Siege of Vraks had titans, super heavy tanks, and lots of trenches and guns.
To see more pictures from GamesDay 2008 have a look at my GamesDay 2008 Gallery.
I do like the Grot Bomb Launcha and my first (and so far only completed) model often takes part in my games as part of my Ork force. In this photograph (with my Skorcha behind it) it has already shot its Grot Bomb.
More often than not though, it does not really do anything significant, even with our house rule which allows it to reload!
The rumours are right it would appear that there is going to be a plastic Valkyrie for the Imperial Guard.

Looks very nice, might get one for my Daemonhunters army, well better get painting the rest of it first. What is also nice is that it comes with a decent flying stand which I hope will be available separately so I can put my Ork Bommer on one.
I have recently purchased a pack of Ork Tankbustas
Tankbustas live for the really big kill. Ork Boyz who have experienced the undeniable thrill of scoring a direct hit upon an enemy tank and seeing the vehicle explode in flames.
This box set contains five Tankbustas and two Bomb-squigs.
Think I might need to get some more bomb-squigs as Simon has so many tanks now.

Having worked a lot of my Grey Knights Land Speeder, one of the key components is the replacement crew. I could have used the included plastic Space Marine crew, but in the end I used some metal Grey Knights models. I started with a black basecoat and then gave the armour a basecoat of Boltgun Metal. This was followed with the gold metal parts been given a base coat of Brazen Brass.
See the full workbench feature.
You may have seen my photographs of the THQ Rhino, well now watch it in action.
One of the things you may miss on this blog amongst all my entries, tags and pictures, is the community feed which is down on the right underneath the tag cloud. Update: with the demise of Google Reader, the community feed has been removed.
There are usually some wonderful things in that feed, but one which really caught my eye recently was this fantastic Death Korps of Krieg army.
That is just one of many photographs of the army from the Senji Studios blog. I really like the aged and weathered look of the armoured vehicles and the infantry are well painted as well.
Excellent go and have a close look, there are lots more photos and bigger photos at that. Update: the site is now offline.
This is a Forge World Turret Emplacement from Simon’s collection.
Complete with Leman Russ turret it is used by the Imperial Guard as part of a defence line.

This is from the latest White Dwarf as scanned in by Plastic Legions.
