Gallipoli 1915
With Warhammer Historical available, GamesDay 2008 wasn’t just Fantasy and 40K, in Hall 1 there were a fair few historical wargames on show using the various Warhammer Historical rules. This is nothing new, last year we saw was Aly Morrison and Dave Andrews’ excellent World War One demonstration game.
Demonstrating The Great War rules were two games one set in Gallipoli and one in 1914.
Very nice terrain and some great models.
You can see many more pictures of the historical wargaming on my website.

Warhammer Fantasy Farm
This farm was part of a beautiful Warhammer Fantasy demonstration games which was displayed at GamesDay 2008 in the UK.
Very nicely painted and really works well together, made for an impressive table for gaming.
More pictures from the same game. More picture of terrain and scenery on my website.
Warhammer Fantasy Village
This was a beautiful Warhammer Fantasy demonstration games which was displayed at GamesDay 2008 in the UK.
Not sure of the forces involved, in the main because I was looking at the scenery.
There are various Games Workshop plastic kits on the table, such as the Manor House here.
Resin buildings from other maufacturers were also present, including this market place.
And this house.
Very nicely painted and really works well together, made for an impressive table for gaming.
Amphibious Invasion
With Warhammer Historical available, GamesDay 2008 wasn’t just Fantasy and 40K, in Hall 1 there were a fair few historical wargames on show using the various Warhammer Historical rules.

"ruin the surprise"
When I was at GamesDay I had a chat with the White Dwarf crew about future issues. They only had the October and November issues available to preview. The October issue was in fact on sale at GamesDay, though the November issue did have a picture of the Ork Battlewagon. I was told by the WD crew that the December issue wasn’t at GamesDay as that would “ruin the surprise”.
Now what was that “surprise”?
I wondered at the time if it was going to be the Ork Stompa, now I think looking at the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Tabletop Gaming blog was the “surprise” a plastic Lizardman Stegadon?
I don’t have the issue of White Dwarf to hand so I can’t check to see what else is in it, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
There may be a few ways I think I could use a plastic Stegadon in my Warhammer 40K games.
Hold the line…

Beautifully painted and modelled.
Scenery was not as nice as Dave’s but was still very well constructured and impressive.
