As well as the Falcon from the ‘Eavy Metal Eldar army, I posted a few days ago, alongside was some Vypers and a Jetbike.
I quite like the Vyper model and I sometimes think about making an Eldar raiding force, also using the Eldar Rangers which were released at the same time as Cities of Death.
More photographs of Eldar miniatures.
I have been adding some more symbology and seals to my Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor.
I have been using Forge World’s Inquisitor brass etchings and their resin purity seals.
They are a nice and simple (yet effective) way of adding character to Daemonhunter vehicles.

A Space Wolves Thunderhawk Gunship as part of a huge Space Wolves army on display at GamesDay 2007.
This is one of those displays at GamesDay which makes you go wow! And then you think how much did he spend…
This fantastic Space Wolves army includes virtually (if not all) the Space Marine models and conversions from Forge World as well as all the plastic and metal models from Citadel.
It was on display at both GamesDay 2006 and GamesDay 2007.
More photographs of this amazing army. More Thunderhawk photographs.
It would seem that Apocalypse is causing big problems for Forge World. Everyone (and a few others) are all purchasing big models for use in Apocalypse games, you know Titans, Shadowswords, Medusas, Squiggoths, etc…
As a result Forge World are having a few problems coping with the demand and therefore there are now delays in getting orders out.
With the recent release of WH40K Apocalypse and the forthcoming Christmas period demand for Forge World models is at an all time high. This has unfortunately led to delays in processing of all orders. Demand for certain models (especially those featured in the Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse rulebook) has been extremely high. Please rest assured we are still committed to despatching orders to all our customers as quickly as possible but significant delays may be unavoidable.
Of course guess who just put in a Forge World order!
If you have looked at my Grey Knights pages you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.
This was the last blog update on the Razorback, so since then this is what I have done.
The basic Rhino kit comes with two different doors, one relatively blank and the other with steps (or ladder) on. I decided to use a spare blank door from my Repressor and use two blank doors. I added a brass Grey Knights symbol from the Forgeworld Grey Knights brass etching and a resin purity seal. When I was editing the pictures for the web, I noticed that I had inadvertently glued one of the symbols upside down! I therefore had to remove it from the door, turn it round and stick it down. It did not come off too easily, but I am glad I spotted it now rather than when I was painting (or worse when I had finished) the model.
I added a resin frontal armour plate from the Forge World Inquisitor Rhino Doors (having used the other resin side doors on my Repressor.
I added a few more purity seals. You can see that I also added the doors with the brass etchings on them.
You can see on this shot the upside down brass symbol.
I think it needs more symbols, seals and icons.
Full workbench feature on the Razorback.
This very nice Eldar Falcon is from the ‘Eavy Metal team and on display at Warhammer World.
Very nice model and excellent paint job.

In my recent Painting Tanks blog entry I said:
I am now thinking that maybe I should give my tanks a black undercoat and then use something like Tausept Ochre from the Foundation Paints range for the base coat. I would follow this with a wash (as above) and then highight with a lighter brown, before weathering the tanks.
After thinking about this for some time, I remembered that I had my Ork Gunwagon, and it was undercoated black. So it was out with the paints and here is the initial result.
I was really pleased with this, that I will be using this method on my Daemonhunters’ tanks. Before though I will finish the Gunwagon off first.
There was an article on the Games Workshop website which got me re-thinking about how I was going to paint my tanks.
A very nice Winged Hive Tyrant with Scything Talons which I saw at GamesDay 2007.
Every so often when I see miniatures like this (and ones like this too) I keep thinking that I would like to have a Tyranid army.
As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.
So far I have purchased a single blister.
Having taken the models out of the blister I was disappointed to find that the slottabase tabs on the bottom of the figures were way too narrow for the slots on the slottabases, so it was out with the green stuff to thicken the tabs up.
I enhanced the bases with some slate and resin from the Warhammer 40K Basing Kit and some Games Workshop modelling sand.
One day I might get a few more of these.
