Epic Imperial Guard Salamander

Here are a trio of Imperial Guard Salamander from Simon’s collection.

The Salamander command vehicle is one of the many vehicles based on the flexible Chimera chassis. Armoured Company command sections are often equipped with the Salamander Command vehicle, allowing them and their Chimera borne infantry keep up during an assault and support the tanks.

These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.

I am pretty sure that these are Griffon hulls, as for the gunners, well would you believe me if I said they were Ork Buggy Gunners?

Ork Stormboyz

Tomorrow (17th January) sees the release of new plastic Ork Stormboyz.

Ork Stormboyz

Stormboyz, the shock troops of many successful warbands, dedicate their lives to the time honoured martial disciplines of drilling, marching and hurtling through the air. To this end they go to war strapped to rokkit packs that, when activated propel their wearers forward on great tongues of oily black flame.

I do like the new models which seem very Orky. Not sure if I am going to get any as I already have a mob of the old sort.

Ork Burna Boyz in the ruins

My Ork Burna Boyz advance through the ruins of an Imperial city from a recent game.

The ruins are the Forge World Tank Factory.

Merlin on DVD

I really enjoyed BBC’s Merlin, but I can now get it on DVD.

Merlin Vol.1 [2008]

Merlin Vol.2 [2008]

Well Volume 1 is available now, Volume 2 in the next few weeks.

I know some think it was a bit “silly” and not very true to the legends of Arthur and Merlin, however my view was that the series wasn’t trying to do that it was much more about being an enjoyable TV series rather than an accurate version of the mythical legends of Arthur.

Imperial Guard BaneBlade

Simon’s BaneBlade is very BIG! He’s done a really nice job on it and it looks very impressive on the battlefield.

More photographs of Imperial Guard Baneblade super heavy tanks.

Ork Aircraft Traktor Launch Trolley

I am continuing to work on my Ork Aircraft Traktor and have undercoated the launch trolley with a black undercoat.

The Ork Fighter Bommer sits on this trolley.

Imperial Guard Infantry Line

Simon’s Imperial Guard Infantry form a line awaiting the advancing Orks!

More pictures of Imperial Guard.

Ork Burna Boyz in the Ash Wastes

My Ork Burna Boyz advance through the Ash Wastes from a recent game.

They are traversing over one of the new plastic craters (unpainted).

The new Ork Codex changed the Burna Boyz rules quite a bit. One change I did find useful was the ability to have some Meks on board. And as Meks can try and fix broken Ork vehicles, my Ork Burna Boyz are now more like a team whose main job is to fix Ork vehicles on the battlefield.

In the past few games they have done a good job and fixed a couple of vehicles including my Gunwagon.
