We first saw the Forge World Ork Flakk Wagon at GamesDay 2008, still no sign of it been available now. It was on show at the Forge World Open Day 2009.
Still looking good. Wondering though when it will become available?
You can now see all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.
Another new(ish) miniature on display at the Forge World Open Day was the Nurgle Daemon Prince.
A vile (in game terms) model, well sculptured and well painted.

On display at the Forge World Open Day was the Chaos Brass Scorpion of Khorne.
The Brass Scorpion is a terrifying daemonic engine of destruction dedicated to the Chaos God Khorne, Lord of Slaughter. This nightmarish construct, as much hell-spawned beast as war machine, it storms across the battlefield like a monstrous predator hunting and killing. Its huge claws are capable of shredding armour with ease and its firepower laying waste to swathes of enemy infantry. Even in destruction the foes of Chaos have learned to fear this unholy war machine, as its infernally-charged reactor erupts to scorch the battlefield with the fury of its death-throws.
The Brass Scorpion of Khorne is a fantastically impressive resin model designed by Daren Parrwood and painted by Mark Bedford.
I seem to be in the minority as I really quite like this model, and if you read this blog I am not a fan of Chaos one bit!

There were some great new models at the Forge World Open Day 2009, though what impressed me lots though were the Khorne Slaughterers.
Well sculptured and beautifully painted.
I am not a great fan of Chaos, but these Forge World models are starting to make me think differently.
Next month sees the release of the plastic Valkyrie from Games Workshop.
At the recent Forge World Open Day we saw some conversion kits for the plastic Valkyrie including a Vulture and a Vendetta.
The Vulture makes use of some of the plastic components, whilst the Vendetta conversion turns the Valkyrie into a heavily armed gunship.
Alas I didn’t manage to get any photographs of the Vendetta (I thought I had, but I hadn’t).
Forge World will also be making some new weapon packs as well.
Really nice kits.
Update: you can now see all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.
I hadn’t planned on going to the Forge World Open Day, if I had I wouldn’t have turned up at 3.30pm with only thirty minutes left…
But I was on my way to York and decided to stop off on the way and have a look at what was new and what was planned. Over the next few days I will post more photographs, but here are a few of the things I saw and I really liked.
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.
Also on display was the big cannon for the Ork Battlewagon.
What impressed me though were the Khorne Slaughterers.

At the Forge World Open Day (as well as loads of Chaos) Forge World have been showing off some wonderful new Ork Trukks and Battlewagons.
Forge World’s excellent Eldar Revenant Titan on display at GamesDay 2004.
I am never sure whether I like this model or not. Don’t get me wrong the paint job (by George Dellapina if I remember correctly) is excellent. I do like the sculpting, the lines and the pose. I guess my problem is that for the Warhammer 40K universe it looks too light footed, too flimsy, too featherweight!
But then again I am not an Eldar player so what do I know?
More photographs of the Revenant Titan. More photographs from GamesDay 2004.
The Forge World Great Knarloc.
A larger sub species of the Knarloc riding beast. These ferocious creatures are native to the jungles of Pech and are herded into combat by Kroot Goaders.
Taken at Bristol Conflict in 2004, see more pictures from that show.
