This is the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha, note how the Wartrakk has wheels insteads of tracks.

What I find quite revealing about the model (and it is a display model) is that this is a conversion, the Wartrakk’s tracks have been replaced by wheels and the driver has had its top half replaced by an Ork Boyz model. These extra parts are not included in the Forgeworld kit, but I would have thought a display model should be as you get it and not with added bitz…

This version has instead of the Rhinos or Land Raider this version has a container.

This can be used I guess to offload troops or supplies.

Imperial Command Rhino from the Golden Demon at GamesDay 2005

This was my favourite entry from the Golden Demon at GamesDay 2005.

This Damocles Command Rhino won the Forgeworld Best of Show prize in the 2005 UK Golden Demon awards. The radar dish moved around and as you can see in this shot, the inside included “real” lights (made from LEDs). It was very well painted and made good use of the Forgeworld Imperial Fists doors.

It was very well painted and there were some little details that brought a smile to my face, the internal panels were lit and the radar dish rotated one way and then another…
