From the Forge World display cabinets at GamesDay 2007.
It has an extra searchlight and dozer blade.
The Trojan is a workhorse used by Imperial Guard armoured regiments as a towing vehicle for artillery platforms and as an armoured ammunition carrier, ferrying extra ammunition to the platforms once in position.

This Ork Fighta was in the Forge World display cabinets at GamesDay 2007.
I do have one of these and you can see how I painted mine here.
This superb Thunderbolt fighter was on display at the Forge World stands at GamesDay 2007
See more photographs of the Thunderbolt Fighter.
Part of the excellent Forge World Ork Shanty Town that was on display at GamesDay 2009.
Just what every mekboy wants; an even bigger `Dread! A smoke-belching, hydraulic monster able to tear apart enemy tanks and smash a side lesser war machines with contemptuous ease.
This is from the Forge World stand and is a work in progress.
I bought mine at GamesDay 2009 and purchased it with two Killkannons as I didn’t think much of the Rippa-Claw, it looked flimsy in comparison to the model as a whole.
See the workbench feature on my Mega-Dread.

In the Forge World seminar, some new models were shown off. One of their other retro models they showed was the Imperial Guard Rapier.
This is a really nice model. I did have one of the original metal Rapier models from the 1980s.
I always liked this model, but I actually prefer the newer version from Forge World.

In the Forge World seminar, some new models were shown off. This is a Contemptor Pattern Relic Dreadnought.
I do quite like the these retro releases, I much prefer these dreadnoughts over the current plastic version.

In the Forge World seminar, some new models were shown off. This is a variant of the Land Raider Proteus.
It is of course a resin version of the original original Land Raider that was released back in 1987 following the release of the 1st edition of Warhammer 40,000, Rogue Trader.
I do like this variant, probably more so than the version that we have seen before.
The Land Raider is perhaps the most iconic of all Imperial armoured vehicles. Its distinctive silhouette is recognisable to foe and ally alike, announcing the indomitable presence of the Adeptus Astartes, the heroic and super-human Space Marines. Many patterns and designs of this honoured and ancient war machine exist across the myriad worlds of the Imperium, and among the oldest of such designs is the Land Raider Proteus.
Mechanicus tech-savants believe that the Land Raider Proteus is a precursor to the Phobos pattern vehicle now found amongst the armouriums of the Adeptus Astartes. Bulkier and faster than the Phobos, ancient and forgotten data-looms describe the Proteus as a forward assault vehicle, commonly fielded in Explorator missions during the dawning days of Mankind’s fledgling galactic empire.
I do quite like the these retro releases and I am considering getting one (or two) but I should really finish the Mark IIb first!
