Ork Big Trakk with Kill Kannon

GameDay Germany 2009 had very little “new stuff” which hadn’t been seen before. However on display on the Forge World stand were some new models (and the Flakk Wagon).

One new impressive model was the Ork Big Trakk with Kill Kannon.

We have not seen this model before, but it was obviously built upon from the Ork Trukk concepts from the Forge World Open Day.

Does make me wonder if this is a complete resin kit, or if it still makes use of the plastic Ork Trukk kit. I would suspect the former.

Nice model.

The Big Lobba had been seen at the Forge World Open Day 2009, and though various Ork Trukk concepts had also been seen, this one hadn’t. It has a new cab and rear section.

Now this is something which was mentioned in the instructions for the Ork Half Trakk about combining the Half Trakk chassis with different Forge World kits (which at the time I thought, what Forge World kits). It is obvious to me that you could combine the new parts of the trukk above with the Half Trakk chassis.

Also in that picture in the foreground are some new grots, ammo runts and grot riggers.

Grey Knights Dreadnought Weapons

An excellent birthday present I got, was a Grey Knights Dreadnought from Forgeworld. This is a fantastically detailed model, with lots of engravings, purity seals

The only thing missing are the arms???

Originally I wasn’t sure whether to go for the Grey Knights arms, or make as Mortis version… Yes I know the fluff doesn’t support Grey Knights Mortis pattern dreadnoughts, but when have I ever been one for following fluff to the letter… oh me the heretic!

In the end I decided on a Mortis pattern, with a Psycannon and twin Lascannons.

The Mk IV from Forgeworld is a really nice model, and when you look at the  Venerable Dreadnought from the main Games Workshop, you wonder why they didn’t just copy the Forgeworld model.

The GW model looks clunky and as though the venerable components were just stuck on, whereas with the Forgeworld model the detailing is part of the model.

Not sure why I used a white undercoat!

Eldar Vampire

Vampire

When Imperial forces bring an Eldar army to battle one of the Eldar’s most potent threats is their aircraft. The Eldar’s unequaled grasp of anti gravitic technology means that their aircraft are faster and more agile than Imperial equivalents. The Vampire Raider is often used for making swift sorties onto a planets surface, capable of travelling at many times the speed of sound, and is capable of defending itself.

The Tau Barracuda is used to patrol Tau airspace and support the Fire Cast in times of war. The Barracuda is capable of using groung based markerlight equipped teams to guide its supply of seeker missiles stored in its drop down bay.When the pilot is in trouble the cockpit of the Barracuda can be ejected from the main fuselage, and use its limited anti grav engine to propel the pilot to friendly lines.

I do like this model, especially the Vulcan Mega Bolter variant, it looks very mean without looking too over the top.This is another well painted model, and beautifully weathered.

On show in the Forge World display cabinets at GamesDay 2008.
