Ork Bommerz

Ork Bommerz are slightly fiddly…

I am currently putting together the Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommers.

They are really nice castings and well detailed, but are somewhat fiddly to put together as the kits contain very small parts.

Each Bommer comes with six bombs, I am going to only glue four on as I will use the spares for the ground vehicles that I am converting for use on the airfield.

These ground vehicles will include fuel trucks, crane trucks, weaponload trucks, tow vehicles and other types of vehicles you would expect to see on an Ork airfield.

I also hoping that Forgeworld will release the trailers (especially the tanker trailer) from their 40K scale range in Epic scale – this will give me a lot of conversion material.

Grot Bomb Launched

Grot Bomb launched and bounced off the frontal armour again…

I do like the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha and it is great fun in games.

This picture from a recent game is just after I launched the Grot Bomb at an Imperial Hellhound and as per usual it bounced off the frontal armour….

It seems to do that a lot, it strikes the target (always a tank), but fails to do any damage. Perhaps I should go for different targets such as infantry?

I think the real answer is to go for a few more and create a barrage of Grot Bombs, that may work…

You can see on my workbench feature how I put together and painted this excellent little model.

Weapons of Choice – first part of the Axis of Time Trilogy…

I am currently reading and enjoying John Birmingham’s Weapons of Choice, the first part of the Axis of Time Trilogy.

It is not high brow science fiction and anyone who has seen the film the Final Countdown will be having deja vue.

There are a few references to Harry Turtledove’s World War series which aren’t really needed and of course there are a lot of similarities between the two books.

Having said that it is a fun read and I will be looking forward to the next two books.

You can get the book in the UK from Amazon.
