Epic Imperial Cathedral

One of my favourite pieces of scenery has to be the Epic Cathedral from Forgeworld.

I like the fact it is based on the ruins from the Epic40K boxed set and therefore fits in well not just with the other Forgeworld buildings, but also the ruins. Other bits are from the Imperator Titan which adds to the Imperial feel of the building.

It is a hefty piece of resin and certainly dominates the battlefield.

Built Forgeworld Epic Squiggoth

Glued all the little pieces together…

I have (following the pictures on the Forgeworld website) glued my Epic Squiggoth together.

It came together relatively easily and it helped having a picture reference especially when it came to sticking the gun platform on.

It is a very well detailed model and full of character.

Imperial Guard Trailers (Skorcha Conversion)

The most recent Forgeworld newsletter showed off some new Imperial Guard trailers which are perfect for additional scenery and scenario potential to the battlefield.

I suspect I am not the only Ork player who has thought about using the fuel tanker as the basis for an Ork Skorcha conversion!

Hopefully they will release them in epic scale as well (which will then make them perfect for my Ork Airfield Defence Force).

Forgeworld Valkyries

Epic and 40k scales…

The WH40K version of the FW Valkyrie is a really nice model, well detailed and a very nice piece of kit for the Imperial Guard.

From what I have heard about the Epic version, it is just as sweet, and much larger than the Specialist Games model.

FW Epic models are very detailed compared to their metal counterparts. If I do get some Valkyries it will have to be the FW ones.

Forge World Ork Bommer Bitz

What you get in the little bag…

Here is a picture of the component parts of the Forgeworld Ork Bommer.

The main fiddly bit looks like will be the bomb load.

They are very detailed models and I am very impressed with the casting and the quality of the models.

These will make a fine addition to my Ork Airfield Defence Force and I am now very tempted to get some of the FW Ork Fighters as well.

Comparative Picture – how big are those Forgeworld flyers…

The following photograph gives you some idea of the comparative size between the Forgeworld Ork flyers and the original Epic 40K versions.

As you can see the Forgeworld model (even without the wings or tail) is substantially larger than the Epic 40K model.

I much prefer the more in-scale version, though I was quite the fan of the Epic40K models.
