Khorne Slaughterers at the Forge World Open Day

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.

With the release of the plastic Valkyrie, Forge World at their Forge World Open Day 2009 showed off a new Vulture conversion kit.

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.

Forge World Open Day 2009

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.

Eldar Revenant Titan

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.

Imperial Guard Tanks

One of the reasons for going to GamesDay are the huge display games, my personal favourites are the ones form Forge World.

This one representing part of the Siege of Vraks had titans, super heavy tanks, and lots of trenches and guns.

Here Death Korps of Krieg tanks move forward to combat the Chaos menace.

Here is a Death Korps of Krieg Heavy Mortar, field artillery is often used by Imperial Guard commanders to pound enemy positions.
