Warhammer Historical – Egyptian
Egyptian’esque Scenery
From one of the many demonstration games at GamesDay 2007.
I do like this Egyptian’esque scenery that was used for the game. This is the sort of scenery that I would like to use for a 1930s pulp set of rules I have been working on (for years) called Tally Ho! Tally Ho! is a set of planned rules to represent games in the era of the golden 1930s, in many ways similar yet different to the Indiana Jones films.

Fallen Imperial Eagle
In May 2009 I posted the following photograph that I had taken at GamesDay 2007.
Back then I said:
I really like this and still wonder why a resin version wasn’t made available either by GW or Forge World.
Why?
Well…
It is going to be released as part of a three piece plastic kit including a ruin and a Space Marine statue.
Warmaster
This is one of the Warmaster games which was on show at GamesDay 2007.
Walled city under siege.
Check out the Warmaster section on the main website.

Warhammer Cleric
This interesting miniature was in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2007.
No real idea what it is, you know what it is?
Chaos Vindicator
Chaos Vindicator on display at GamesDay 2007.
The Vindicator has been in use by Imperial forces since the Great Crusade, and it has hardly changed since those turbulent days so long ago. The Space Marine Legions that sided with the corrupted Warmaster and Primarch of the Luna Wolves, Horus Lupercal, used their Vindicators against the Loyalist forces of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy.
More photographs of Vindicators and Chaos.
Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun
A resin master cast of the Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun on display at GamesDay 2007.
I know some people don’t like the humourous aspects of the Orks, personally I do quite like those aspects. The concept behind the Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun of hoovering up snotlings and flinging them across the battlefield is just like so Orky.
The Shokk Attack Gun is a devastating Ork weapon that hurls Snotlings through the warp, sending them mad in the process. When they reappear, they are frenzied creatures, capable of bringing down the toughest of enemies – especially if they materialise inside an enemy’s armour!
It’s probably why I like the Grot Bomb Launcha so much.

Ork Trukk Prototype
In a previous post I talked about my Ork Trukk. The finished kit design process goes through many different incarnations before the final model is decided upon. At GamesDay 2007 we saw parts of the process and some of the prototypes.
This is (probably) one of a few prototypes that GW made of the Trukk.
It’s made from plasticard, green stuff, plastic struts and resin castings of duplicated parts.
This (or something similar) was then scanned into the computer, enabling the designer to build a 3D cad model of the Trukk.
Once this is finished and checked and signed off…
It is “printed” using a 3D printer.
From this then the sprues can be designed and the finished kit made.
