George Dellapina’s funky Speed Freeks Ork army on display at Bristol Conflict 2004 included some very nice converted trukks.
He used some toy vehicles as the basis.

World War One Train
One of the games I enjoyed a lot at GamesDay 2007 was Aly Morrison and Dave Andrews’ excellent World War One demonstration game.
There was some fantastic scenery such as this train and track.
Excellent stuff.
You can see many more pictures of the game on my website.
Witchhunter Familiar – Inquisitorial Henchmen
I am adding some Henchmen to my Inquistorial force. I am not quite sure what a Familiar is and what they do for the Witch Hunter Inquisitor, but it is an interesting model nonetheless.
Having flocked the base with Games Workshop modelling sand, the model was given a white undercoat.
See full workbench feature on the Familiar.

Space Marines on sale at UK GamesDay
According to the Games Workshop website, a variety of Space Marines stuff will be on sale at the UK GamesDay on the 14th September including the new Drop Pod.
Dropping from orbit, the brand new pre-release Space Marines will be in extremely limited supply. That said, we’ll be taking 2000 brand new plastic Drop Pods – an amazing 89-piece plastic kit – not to mention the all-new Thunderfire Cannon and the all-important Codex: Space Marines.
We’ll also be taking supplies of the new Sternguard and Vanguard Veterans, the mighty all-plastic Land Raider Redeemer / Crusader, as well as the many new Special Characters including Captain Sicarius of the Ultramarines and the Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists, Pedro Kantor.
Hmm tempted.

Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines’ Land Raider
Took a few photographs of Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines’ Land Raider from the ‘Eavy Metal display cabinets at both GamesDay 2005 and Warhammer World.

Imperial Guard Heavy Tanks
Here are a pair of Imperial Guard Heavy Tanks from Simon’s collection.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago, so way before the Death Korps of Krieg models found their way into Epic Armageddon and Forge World.
I am pretty sure that these are Hydra hulls, as for the turret, well if you look at this picture of one of my Ork tanks from the same era, I think you will be able to guess!
From a fluff perspective, it can be easily imagined that an Ork army overtook an Imperial Guard tank factory and utilised many of the components including the turrets on their own tanks and battlewagons.
If I remember correctly, from Simon’s perspective I think it was because he had all the Ork vehicles from the Epic 40000 boxed set that he decided to use the Ork turrets.
GW Prices going to rise
Alas the economic woes affecting the world economy have not left Games Workshop alone and September 29th sees a range of price increases across the GW range with the notable exception of their plastic kits.
Tabletop Gaming News has the inside story.
On Monday August 25th a message informing end hobbyists will be placed on all of our websites.
Prices will change September 29th.
A message will appear in our October White Dwarf.
The price increase will affect part of our paint and hobby ranges, as well as a large portion of our metal models and printed materials.
Even with the pressure of rising costs we are adamant that we will not at this time raise prices on any plastic model kits. Providing high quality, great value kits is fundamental to our corporate strategy and will continue to produce and distribute them at the current prices for as long as we are able.
