This is a pair of Hyperios Air Defence Platforms looking for enemy flyers.

Grey Knights MkIIb Land Raider
Grey Knights can use Land Raiders, when I first started putting this force together I knew that if I was going to get a Land Raider it would have to be the Forgeworld MkIIB Land Raider.
This is the Forgeworld display model.
I did get one in the end at GamesDay 2006.
As well as the plastic Land Raider parts you get the following resin pieces. These are the main sponsons and hull structures.
This is the rear plate and replacement exhausts.
These are the lascannon weapons.
Though you don’t get much in the way of instructions, but you do get doors.
Now I made a mistake, you get a set of doors and I (foolishly) asked them to replace the supplied eagle doors with Grey knight Land Raider doors. Now what I didn’t realise was that the side doors on the sponson are not the same size as the Land Raider doors, but are in fact the same size as Rhino side doors. So the Grey Knight doors are too big!
Mk IV Venerable Dreadnought
It is part of Mike Sharpe’s Space Wolves army, which was on show at GamesDay 2006.
It is a Forgeworld model, the Citadel Venerable Dreadnought is awful as it basically consists of the plastic kit (which is nice) and then cover it in metal parts. It just looks like they are stuck on (which they are), whereas the Forgeworld model looks more “real” in comparison.
Mike Sharpe’s Space Wolves army
There were what seemed like over a hundred tanks, many of which were Forgeworld kits or conversion kits. It also included loads of Marines, Thunderhawks and Drop Pods.
Urban basing for Ork Kommandos
I have added materials from the urban basing kit to my Ork Kommandos.
I didn’t use any of the resin pieces, but used the large and small slate. I think I will add some barbed wire as well.
I have decided to paint their backpacks separately, so will need to mount them somehow.
Space Wolves Space Marine Razorback
This is the Space Wolves Space Marine Razorback from part of Mike Sharpe’s superb Space Wolves army, which was on show at GamesDay 2006.
This is the Forgeworld version of the Razorback with the much bigger turret, which I much prefer over the plastic kit version that you get in the shops. As it is only £2 more now, I think the Forgeworld version is much better value for money.
Though you would get some spare parts with the plastic version…
This is the plastic version.
This is the Space Wolves Space Marine Razorback. Compare this to the Forgeworld version of the Razorback with the much bigger turret above, which I much prefer over the plastic kit version that you get in the shops. The problem I have is that the turret is really small.
Ruined Imperial Building
Ruined Imperial Building constructed from the Cities of Death ruins sprues.
This is a nice model and this is by one of the Design Studio scenery people, though I can’t remember exactly who, I know it wasn’t Dave Andrews.

Land Speeder Tempest
This is a Space Wolves Space Marine Landspeeder Tempest flying over the ruins of an Imperial city.
This Forgeworld model is part of Mike Sharpe’s superb Space Wolves army, which was on show at GamesDay 2006.
Fire Support Drop Pod
Fire Support Drop Pod, now that’s going to hurt…
It is part of Mike Sharpe’s Space Wolves army, which was on show at GamesDay 2006.
Space Marine Control Centre
In the ruins of an Imperial building… Seems lucky that though the majority of the building was destroyed, the control centre is still intact and operational.
Actually it is a nice model and this is by one of the Design Studio scenery people, though I can’t remember exactly who, I know it wasn’t Dave Andrews.
