This Leman Russ Vanquisher was in the Forge World display cabinets at GamesDay 2007.

The Leman Russ Vanquisher is a more sophisticated version of the basic Leman Russ battle tank armed with the Vanquisher Battle Cannon. The special anti-tank ammunition used in this fearsome weapon is very useful against a foe with many armoured vehicles but of less use when facing a foe with smaller vehicles and hordes of infantry.

The Stygies VIII variant of the Vanquisher cannon, while lacking the immense length of the Gryphonne IV guns to generate shell velocity, utilises a slightly smaller calibre shell with increased barrel rifling.

Imperial Guard Rapier – GamesDay 2011

In the Forge World seminar, some new models were shown off. One of their other retro models they showed was the Imperial Guard Rapier.

This is a really nice model. I did have one of the original metal Rapier models from the 1980s.

I always liked this model, but I actually prefer the newer version from Forge World.
