This Forge World Chaos Warhound Titan was marching across the battlefield at Warhammer World.

One of the things I like about Warhammer World are being able to see Forge World model in the flesh as it were. You really get a feel for the size and mass of the model, which isn’t always apparent from seeing it on the website.
Forge World’s big Ork tank mounts a huge gun ready to take on any Imperial BaneBlade or even Titan.
The Kill Bursta mounts a huge-bore Kannon capable of destroying bunkers and siegeworks with ease.
I have one myself, but it has been on the workbench for a while….
On display at the Warhammer World was the Chaos Brass Scorpion of Khorne.
This is one of my all time favourite models from Forge World. I seem to be in the minority as I really quite like this model, and if you read this blog I am not a fan of Chaos one bit!
The Brass Scorpion is a terrifying daemonic engine of destruction dedicated to the Chaos God Khorne, Lord of Slaughter. This nightmarish construct, as much hell-spawned beast as war machine, it storms across the battlefield like a monstrous predator hunting and killing. Its huge claws are capable of shredding armour with ease and its firepower laying waste to swathes of enemy infantry. Even in destruction the foes of Chaos have learned to fear this unholy war machine, as its infernally-charged reactor erupts to scorch the battlefield with the fury of its death-throws.
The Brass Scorpion of Khorne is a fantastically impressive resin model designed by Daren Parrwood and this model was painted by Mark Bedford. I love the paint job on this model, the combination of glossy red and brass details really makes this model both impressive and threatening.

This is the Forge World Barbed Scythed at Warhammer World.
The Hierodule is a type of Tyranid Bio-Titan, but stands smaller than its more massive cousin the Hierophant. This class of bioform is brought into action only against the most determined defences. Hierodules are immense creatures, towering over the battlefield and bristling with spines, claws, tendrils and apocalyptic bio-weapons.
It is armed with four huge razor-sharp claws, each capable of slicing clean through a battle tank, and heavily protected by chitin plates, in places up to 30 centimetres thick. A Hierodule is far larger than a Carnifex, a monstrous-killing machine even by Tyranid standards.

The Barbed Hierodule (Uncus hierodule domitor), is a mutation of the Scythed Hierodule it, has just two scythe-like claws but now has two massive Bio-cannons. The acidic symbiote creature was gone, and the Hierodule’s frontal chitinous armour plates had grown and thickened for extra protection.
Forge World Reaver Titan on display at Warhammer World.
Compared to my previous visit, there were lots more Titans on display including the huge and impressive Warlord Titan.
I’ve always liked the Ork Gunwagon, which was one of the first Forge World models that was released and was one of the first that I purchased. After a while Forge World started releasing them with bigger more powerful weapons.

Another Forge World Ork Gunwagon, this one is armed with Big Zzappa

At the weekend it was the Forge World Open Day and as expected there were lots of nice new models on show. Alas I didn’t go, but there were lots of pictures floating about on the interwebs.
So what did I miss?
