Grot Bomb Launched

Grot Bomb launched and bounced off the frontal armour again…

I do like the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha and it is great fun in games.

This picture from a recent game is just after I launched the Grot Bomb at an Imperial Hellhound and as per usual it bounced off the frontal armour….

It seems to do that a lot, it strikes the target (always a tank), but fails to do any damage. Perhaps I should go for different targets such as infantry?

I think the real answer is to go for a few more and create a barrage of Grot Bombs, that may work…

You can see on my workbench feature how I put together and painted this excellent little model.

Forge World Squiggoth

Though I have had the model for some time, I wanted to surprise my opponent so I have not put any details out about it.

It is a superb casting and well sculptured and in my opinion a much nicer model than the bigger version (can’t spell Gargantuan).

Today I had a chance to use it in a game and yes my opponent was surprised.

You can find out how I painted it here. Here is a picture of work in progress.

There is still some work to do on it, but it is virtually finished.

Epic Imperial Cathedral

One of my favourite pieces of scenery has to be the Epic Cathedral from Forgeworld.

I like the fact it is based on the ruins from the Epic40K boxed set and therefore fits in well not just with the other Forgeworld buildings, but also the ruins. Other bits are from the Imperator Titan which adds to the Imperial feel of the building.

It is a hefty piece of resin and certainly dominates the battlefield.

Built Forgeworld Epic Squiggoth

Glued all the little pieces together…

I have (following the pictures on the Forgeworld website) glued my Epic Squiggoth together.

It came together relatively easily and it helped having a picture reference especially when it came to sticking the gun platform on.

It is a very well detailed model and full of character.

Imperial Guard Trailers (Skorcha Conversion)

The most recent Forgeworld newsletter showed off some new Imperial Guard trailers which are perfect for additional scenery and scenario potential to the battlefield.

I suspect I am not the only Ork player who has thought about using the fuel tanker as the basis for an Ork Skorcha conversion!

Hopefully they will release them in epic scale as well (which will then make them perfect for my Ork Airfield Defence Force).

Forgeworld Valkyries

Epic and 40k scales…

The WH40K version of the FW Valkyrie is a really nice model, well detailed and a very nice piece of kit for the Imperial Guard.

From what I have heard about the Epic version, it is just as sweet, and much larger than the Specialist Games model.

FW Epic models are very detailed compared to their metal counterparts. If I do get some Valkyries it will have to be the FW ones.
