So what is it?
Does it mean Man O War is coming back?
A new version of Dreadfleet?
What are these? Dark Elf ships?
Update: Well after a little bit of searching on the internet tubes, it appears that this may be a Warhammer Fantasy display in Warhammer World, Dark Elves versus High Elves. It’s 28mm not Man O War scale… well one can dream!
I am really pleased with my new Flames of War buildings, so I am looking forward to seeing and probably purchasing the Bastogne Church that will be released in December.
Looks like a nice piece of scenery.

I am really looking forward to the new film. It’s now going to be in three parts and released over three years.
This month Games Workshop launches its first ever app exclusively through the App Store for your iPhone and iPod touch.
Warhammer 40,000: Psychic Powers brings the psychic devastation of the 41st Millennium to your iPhone or iPod touch. With this app, you’ll be able to browse through all the psychic disciplines and powers from the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, and keep track of psychic powers during your Warhammer 40,000 battles.
You can also photograph and name your Psykers, generate powers for each Psyker before the game, and even listen to the sounds of arcing bio-lightning and the screams of the dying as you manifest psychic powers. Of course this is not a game in its own right.
You will need a copy of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook and the codex for your army in order to use this app.
So as an app to support playing the game, I personally thought £7.99 ($11.99) was a lot of money for a gaming aid. It’s a pity there isn’t a game within the app too that could be played when you are not playing Warhammer 40000.
Looking forward to this.
I am hoping (and expecting) it will be better than the last series.
Quite like the idea of these rules.
Not another scale I know… and I know I still got lots to paint too…
Now we can see the full Red Dawn trailer.
I have to admit I enjoyed the original Red Dawn
The remake has been in the works for a fair few years now, same basic storyline as the 1984 movie, but this time no Russians or Cubans, now we have Chinese, sorry now it’s North Korean, invaders. They were going to be Chinese, but the movie makers realised that if they did that then they would be unable to show it in the China market and that’s a lot of potential tickets and money.

You may recall from a previous blog post that I thought they would make for really nice Imperial Guard armoured vehicles. As they are 1/48th scale they would fit very well with the 25/28mm size of the Imperial Guard. Of course with some ramshackle additions they would also make for some really nice Ork vehicles too.

Looks like it could be fun. So far no real trailer, but there was some footage recently on Entertainment Tonight.
Update: ah the vagaries of YouTube means that the video has been removed by Open Road Films…
