Deathstorm Drop Pod
Deathstorm Drop Pods carry multiple robotic heavy weapons instead of troops. Once landed a Deathstorm Drop Pod will crack open to strafe the unsuspecting enemy.
This Forge World model is armed with Assault Cannons and was on display at GamesDay 2009.

Prometheus Command Land Raider
Ultramarines Prometheus Command Land Raider from the Forge World displays at GamesDay 2009.
The Prometheus is an extremely rare variant of the famous Space Marine Land Raider. The few Chapters that have access to the Prometheus use it as a command vehicle due to additional sensor and communication equipment it contains. This allows Force Commanders to liaise with squads out of direct range and so better co-ordinate attacks and force actions.
Space Marine Landing Craft
One of the work in progress or concept models at GamesDay 2009 on the Forge World stand was this Space Marine Landing Craft.
Still very much a work in progress with similar look and feel to the Land Speeder, it may be released at some point.
Of course within the depths of Games Workshop there are lots of models like this, some see the light of day, others are consigned to the bin, or the archive, or a shelf never to be touched again! Why? Well most times it’s probably down to the quality of the model, the design, the concept, or even mistakes in the production process.
What I do like about this model is that it gives us an insight into how Forge World go about making their designs and models.

Big Trakk with Big Lobba
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. There were many of the new Forge World models including the excellent Ork Big Trakk. A turbine powered Ork tracked vehicle with twin Big Shootas.
This heavy Ork transport can also be used to carry Big Gunz into battle. A brutal-looking machine, the Big Trakk comes with twin-linked big shootas, a massive gas-turbine engine, and ramming tusks.
I really like this model, which combined with Trukks and Halftrakks gives the Orks a variety of vehicles that you would expect to find in their forces. However the model is shown with the new Big Lobba. Now I don’t really like this weapon that much. Not sure what it does, but I know I don’t like it.
You can check out how I am making my own Big Trakk in my workbench feature.
