Epic Hellhound
An Epic Imperial Guard Hellhound moves through the ruins of an Imperial City.
The model is from the Epic 40000 era and is very well detailed.

Cities of Death
Orks versus Imperial Guard in the ruins of an Imperial City.
The Ork Stormboyz have placed themselves in an Imperial ruin. Slightly at risk from the unexploded Grot Bomb that was launched and missed earlier in the game.

Manticore and Deathstrike
New from Games Workshop (well announced this week) are the Imperial Guard Manticore and Deathstrike missile systems.
Deadly long-range artillery, the Imperial Guard Manticore Rocket Launcher and Deathstrike Missile Launchers are incredibly destructive war machines. While the Manticore launches a salvo of rockets, each of which disperses into multiple warheads, the Deathstrike fires a single, incredibly dangerous missile.
These fearsome vehicles are favoured by Imperial Guard commanders who like to pound their enemy into oblivion with relentless firepower from the other side of the battlefield.
These models which originated from the Epic gaming system give Imperial Guard players some very heavy artillery. It comes as one kit with the choice of either making it up as a Manticore or as a Deathstrike. Forge World gave us a 40K Manticore, but this is the first time we have seen an (official) Deathstrike.
I do like the Manticore which as a much lower profile than either the Epic or Forge World versions, but as for the Deathstrike… well it’s a nice model, but having seen the Epic version! I know that I would have liked to have seen something similar to this.
Nice models, and I suspect Simon will be buying a few boxes…

Malcador Annihilator
A renegade Malcador Annihilator advances during the Siege of Vraks, supported by Renegade troops.
From the Forgeworld Siege of Vraks diorama at the Forge World Open Day 2009.
Another example of ‘second-generation’ Baneblades, the Malcador Heavy Tank is a mobile fortress, heavily armed and armoured but slow. The ‘standard’ pattern has been altered to create several variants, each designed to fulfil a specific battlefield role. The Annihilator variant mounts a twin-linked lascannon in place of the limited-traverse Battle Cannon of the standard pattern tank, and is commonly equipped with lascannon sponsons to supplement this main armament.
Detractors of the design claim that the Malcador Annihilator falls between two roles, fulfilling neither fully as it is too large and too slow to serve as a ‘true’ tank-hunter while lacking the firepower and armour to evenly match a Baneblade in open war.
Against conventional armour, however, and in the hands of a skilled crew, the Malcador Annihilator can still prove its worth.
This is from the amazing Siege of Vraks diorama by Forge World.
