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.

Tau Barracuda being used in a demonstration game at GamesDay 2001.

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.

This is Forge World’s Armoured Renegade Medusa which was on display at GamesDay 2008.

This is a very nicely painted model and is featured in the Modelling Masterclass Volume 1.

Imperial Macharius Heavy Tank Armed with two Battle Cannons.

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.
Forge World have announced two new sets of transfers.
The Ork Transfer sheet, designed by Start Witter, is crammed with a profusion of over 1700 individual symbols covering all the major Ork Clans such as the Bad Moons, Bloodaxes and Evil Sunz as you can see here. The sheet is A4 (8.2” by 11.69”) and in colour, it features huge quantities of Ork glyphs, dags, flames, checks and symbols to add lavish Orky detail to your boyz and vehicles.
The Valkyrie & Vulture Transfer sheet, designed by Stuart Witter provides some fantastic decals, kill markings and insignia for the Imperial Valkyrie and Vulture models. You can see the sheet here. This white A4 sheet features skulls, Aquilas, and fuselage decorations of eyes and fanged maws to personalise your aircraft, as well as unit markings and pilot designations. The sheet also features three sets of Imperial wing decals; these will require the use of a modelling blade and are intended for experienced modellers.
Very nice looking and they look useful.
Forge World have announced a new Ork model, an Ork Halftrakk.

Our new Ork Halftrakk model, designed by Will Hayes and Owen Branham, is a hybrid kit of the plastic Ork Trukk and resin conversion parts which you can see here. This model uses highly detailed resin components to replace the Trukk`s engine block with a more powerful engine and its standard wheels with some armoured front road wheels and a heavy rear track unit. While you can easily use the Ork Halftrakk to represent a `Kustom` Trukk in your Ork Army, (and makes a great Meganob transporter!) it will also be used in conjunction with forthcoming Forge World releases and Imperial Armour rules.
Yay! Really nice model.
You can see it has been derived from the Ork Trukk concepts shown at the Forge World Open Day 2009 however it is not the same and there are some key differences. The implication I am sure is that there will be other Ork Trukk types later.
There were some great new models at the Forge World Open Day 2009. Will Hayes had a fair few Ork concepts on his table including this Ork Kill Kannon for Trukks and Battlewagons.

At the Forge World Open Day in April we saw various work in progress models from Will Hayes.
