Imperial Guard Basilisk

This is a model of the Imperial Guard Basilisk Armageddon Pattern, from the collection of my friend Simon.

It is an Imperial Guard Basilisk Armageddon Pattern with extra stowage and a muzzle brake. It has a very detailed and well painted interior.

Simon took a range of photographs of the painting process and I hope to have a workbench feature on this model in the near future.

Grey Knights Attack Bike

At the recent UK GamesDay, a preview of the new all plastic Space Marine Attack Bike was shown.

As you may have seen in previous posts and on my workbench I have been working on a Grey Knights Landspeeder.

I do realise that it is not in the Codex and there is not a lot of fluff to support such a model, however I do think it will look cool. I am using the Land Speeder which came with the original boxed set, purity symbols from ForgeWorld and a book and skull from the Inquisitor range.

Under the same misconception I think that the new plastic Attack Bike will make a fine starting point for a Grey Knights version.

Also at Gamesday was a completed Forgeworld pre-Heresy Land Raider, built and painted by Will Hayes.

It is my intention to get one of these for my Grey Knights (and this is in the Codex and the fluff).

Orks with Twin Big Shootas

Forgeworld weapon systems…

I have started putting together my Orks with Forgeworld Twin Big Shootas.

They are very nice resin pieces.

Though they are designed as weapon systems for Forgeworld vehicles, it would be nice if they also allowed you to use them as standalone heavy weapons by including a ground mount.

I may scratchbuild some ground mounts allowing my Orks to have additional heavy weapons on the ground rather than just attached to the vehicles.

What do you mean it is not in the Codex…. it doesn’t matter.
