Having given my Grot Bomb a white undercoat, I gave it a basecoat of Desert Yellow.
Next stage wil be a wash.

Hades Breaching Drill
When you have a fortified position which you absolutely, resolutely need to get through, then choose the Hades Breaching Drill.
It does what it says on the tin!
This is the excellent new Death Korps of Krieg Hades Breaching Drill.
Just the thing to take out that fortified Ork stronghold that I have (not) been building.
Really nice model, nice to see something different. Now if we could see more innovative Ork stuff and slightly less Imperial Guard I think I would be happier!
Thanks to BoLS for heads up.
The Mole Mortar is back!
The infamous Mole Mortar is back!
At the Warhammer 40K 5th Edition bash at Warhammer World yesterday (12th June) Forge World had on display a sneek peek of a Krieg Engineer team with Mole Launcher; which has to be a Mole Mortar by any other name!
Nice model and a must for anyone using Death Korps of Krieg.
Thanks to BoLS.
Forge World Warhound Titan
This Forge World Warhound Titan was on display at GamesDay 2004. You can (just) see into the crew compartment.
Another view of the head.
I really like this model and this colour scheme works really well.
See more pictures of Warhound Titans.
Ork Aircraft Traktor
One of the Forgeworld models I have always liked is the Ork Aircraft Traktor and Launch Trolley. Ideal to go with my Ork Bommer.
Sadly this is now no longer available, so when stocks were running low (back in 2006) I bought one.
The model consists of the plastic Wartrakk and some resin pieces.
Having put the model together I initially gave it a white undercoat. Having re-looked at the model I decided that I wanted the dirty rusty metal look I had given some of my other Ork vehicles, so I gave the model a black undercoat. This was then initially given a drybrush of Tin Bitz.
I then gave it a drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
I also used some Blazing Orange to add rusty streaks.
The other side.
You can see the full workbench feature on the Traktor.
Eldar Scorpion Type II
The Scorpion super heavy grav tank is one of the largest vehicles capable of anti-gravatic movement. The Eldar have used the Scorpion to spearhead an all out attack, especially against strongly defended positions where its Pulsars are used to engage enemy bunkers and strong points.
This is the model from the Forgeworld displays at GamesDay 2004.
See more Scorpion photographs.
Capitol Imperialis at the Tank Factory
Back at GamesDay 2001, Carl from Dropship, which alas has not been updated for many years now, put on a most excellent Epic demonstration game with some fantastic models and some fantastic scenery.
One of the key scenery pieces for me was the freight yard, railway track and one of the nice Forge World Tank Factories (which is sadly now long longer available).
In that shot you can also see the very nice (and also not available) Capitol Imperalis.
Sadly this model was never re-released nor was it re-imagined when Epic Armageddon came around (and went again).
I have seen what some people have done on the web, but I do wonder now and again if Forge World will ever release either an Epic or a 40K version or something similar.
More photographs from this demonstration game.
Ork Great Gargant
At GamesDay 2003 there were a lot of Forge World Warhound Titans which has just been released. Amongst all that Imperial heavy armour was this lone Ork Great Gargant.
This was from Armorcast in the days before Games Workshop took large scale resin models back in house and created Forge World. It was only (in theory) available in the USA and was very difficult if not impossible to get in the UK.
If I could find one, afford one and have the time to paint one, I really would like to get hold of this model, but alas I think everything is against me!
Forge World seem to have no intention of making an Ork Gargant, even with the “green tide” of the new Ork Codex, we have seen very little if any new Ork stuff. There has been a rumour shot of a souped up Ork Trukk…
and some ammo grunts….
but apart from those, very little else.
Though I do wonder what else Forge World may be planning…
Forge World Ork Gunwagon
If you have been following my workbench feature on my Forge World Ork Gunwagon, you will know that it is nearly finished. Though not quite finished, it’s finished enough for me to use in a game (or two).
It performs quite well, and just ensure you have a few Meks around to fix it when it gets shot to pieces.
Basing the commander
The Ork Sqwadron Commander is a really nice model (only available as a show model from Forge World).
I used Citadel sand to base the model.
I do like Citadel sand as it has small rocks included which add interest to the base.
