One of my converted Epic Ork Battlefortress.

I have replaced many of the supplied weaponry with different weapons. They include flak gunz from Flak Wagonz, Pulsa Rokkits and Buggy Gunnerz.

Another view.

Apocalyptic Battle

At GamesDay 2007, Games Workshop put on a huge Apocalypse game.

You can see more pictures of the massive game on my website.

Well after the announcement that the Black Library was no longer going to produce Dark Heresy raised a few eyebrows, especially after the initial print run sold out it was interesting to read that there may have been reason behind the madness.

According to a press release from Fantasy Flight Games they now have the licence to publish the role-playing, board and card games set in the Games Workshop universe.

Fantasy Flight Games (“FFG”) and Games Workshop (“GW”) jointly announced today that they have reached an agreement for Fantasy Flight Games to become the exclusive publisher of board games, card games (including collectible card games), and roleplaying games based on Games Workshop’s family of renowned intellectual properties including Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40,000. Additionally, the deal will grant FFG the exclusive rights to publish new versions of the classic board and card games titles published by Games Workshop over the last 25 years.

Further down the press release we read:

FFG will continue production and new-product support for the Universal Fighting System CCG, the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay RPG, and the new smash-hit Dark Heresy RPG.

So it looks like Dark Heresy is here today and will be here tomorrow. In the meantime you can buy the current version from both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Both Amazons are offering it at a discount.

Dark Heresy

Drybrushing

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down. I then drybrushed the uniforms with Desert Yellow.

The sergeant and the heavy weapons.

Next stage will be the details.

See the full workbench feature on my website.

Capitol Imperialis at the Tank Factory

Back at GamesDay 2001, Carl from Dropship, which alas has not been updated for many years now, put on a most excellent Epic demonstration game with some fantastic models and some fantastic scenery.

One of the key scenery pieces for me was the freight yard, railway track and one of the nice Forge World Tank Factories (which is sadly now long longer available).

In that shot you can also see the very nice (and also not available) Capitol Imperalis.

Sadly this model was never re-released nor was it re-imagined when Epic Armageddon came around (and went again).

I have seen what some people have done on the web, but I do wonder now and again if Forge World will ever release either an Epic or a 40K version or something similar.
