Before the plastic Shadowsword was released this year, Forge World had their resin version.
Back at GamesDay 2001 I remember being very impressed with the model and thinking if I only had the money…
Of course I don’t play Imperial Guard so why would I have one…

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 very nice Ork Supa-Zappa.
At the Forge World Open Day in April we saw various work in progress models from Will Hayes.
I think my favourite model from GamesDay 2008 was Forge World’s Ork Flakk Wagon.
We first saw the Forge World Ork Flakk Wagon at GamesDay 2008, still no sign of it been available. It was also on show at the Forge World Open Day 2009.
Still looking good. Wondering though when it will become available?
From a gaming perspective it can’t really be considered too important as I guess not too many gamers use aircraft in their games (but hey you never know).
From a model perspective it is just a conversion kit, it is not a full resin kit.
I really do like the way it looks, very Orky.
I also like it, because it means that Forge World are making more Ork stuff.
So what’s going to be next?
What do you think?
You can now see all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.
Having given my Mark IIb Land Raider a black undercoat, it needed a second coat.
This is to be a Grey Knights Land Raider, though I may use it now and again as an Inquisitor transport. Next stage will be the basecoat.
Full workbench feature on the Mark IIb Land Raider.

Will Hayes has been working on some ideas for Ork Trukks and additional weapons and these looked really nice and would add variety to any Ork army which uses Trukks.
This was his Ork Gun Trukk or should that be Half-Trukk? Note the bigger engine. The room for only a single driver. Oh and the big lobba in the back of the Trukk.
See more pictures of these concept Trukks.

My Ork Squiggoth prepares to move forward. This photograph was taken at a weird angle (don’t remember why) and on my unfinished desert terrain boards, which as a result are a dark purple-red colour.
This is the Forge World model and you can see how I painted it in my workbench feature on the model.
Of course the rules for this model are not in the standard rules or the Ork Codex.
I use to use the Forge World supplements, but more recently I have been using the rules from Apocalypse.
