Well we now know what this vehicle is from GamesDay 2009.

Assault Rams are void attack craft, intended to participate in close-range space boarding actions, that can also act as drop-assault vessels for direct orbital attack. There are many patterns of Assault Ram in use across the Imperium, but among the Space Marine Chapters, the multi-role Caestus is the most commonplace. Smaller than either the Thunderhawk Gunship or the Shark-class Boarding Torpedo, the patterns’ chief advantage is its speed and phenomenal durability which make it a highly resilient assault craft, even in the most fire-swept landing zones. Compact and heavily armoured, the Caestus Assault Ram is designed to survive direct collision with an enemy, leaving only ruin in its wake.

First seen on this blog last year.

Work in progress, Reaver Titan

One of the highlights of the Forgeworld Designers’ stand at GamesDay 2007 for mewas the work in progress model of a 40K scale Reaver Titan. This is one big model, and though it is a work in progress, the detail in the model looks great.

Out of my price league, but one can dream.

See photographs of the finished model.
