An Ork Skorcha and Wartrakk advanced over the red desert flats.
You can see how I converted and painted my Ork Skorcha. I was quite pleased with it when I had finished it, though since then I think I might need to take it back onto the workbench and do some more weathering. If I was to go through the process again I would distress the extra armour plates I added and give the model a more weathered and tired paint job.
Happy Christmas to all our readers.

Following the announcement of Warhammer Forge at GamesDay 2011, we have been waiting patiently for the time when we could actually order the models.
According to the latest Forge World newsletter, we will be able to pre-order new Warhammer Forge Models soon.
Perhaps the most hotly-anticipated project that we are currently working on, Warhammer Forge made its debut at Games Day UK 2010. We are excited to announce that the first releases for this new range will be available to pre-order early in 2011, and will be followed later in the year by the very first Warhammer Forge book – Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos.
From the picture on the newsletter I am anticipating that the first models to be released will be the Chaos Dwarfs, which is a pity in some respects as I would love to get this Landship.

The models and scenery are from Simon’s collection and can often be found attacking and defeating my Orks.

The US Army has released details of their new infantry weapon the XM-25. It is a very futuristic looking weapon.
Once you take of the camo, it still looks very futuristic. Something out of ALIENS
One of the interesting features of the gun is that you can program the rounds and they can explode “over” a target, meaning that cover is a thing of the past!
The system launches 25mm programmable rounds which can explode over a target.
If the Soldier “wants to get that round in the window … what’s he’s able to do with the high explosive round is he’s able to laser designate the building and the round will then fly through the window and explode inside the room,” Lehner said.
Aboard the XM25 is a laser rangefinder that can measure the distance to the target and place an adjusted aim point on a targeting screen. The system then allows Soldiers to choose to over-shoot the measured distance so the round will explode inside the building. The targeting computer programs the round to explode at the designated distance. The system allows Soldiers to hit targets they cannot see, because they are hiding behind walls, inside buildings or behind natural obstructions.

From the recent Games Workshop newsletter…
The Blood Angels are one of the most popular Space Marine Chapters. They fought at the Emperor’s side during the earliest days of the Imperium as one of the original Legions. Ten thousand years later, and one of the longest-running Chapters, they are still shaped by the deeds of their Primarch Sanguinius. Few Space Marine Chapters are as prolific and loyal in their defence of the Imperium as the Blood Angels, though a flaw in their gene seed makes them susceptible to the Black Rage and the Red Thirst – all-consuming curses that turn them savage and blood-thirsty in battle…
In February 2011, the Blood Angels will receive more reinforcements, including never-before-seen models – visit the website tomorrow for more information from the Studio in their Incoming! article. If you want to start massing your own Angelic Host, or are looking to bolster your troops, then here are some essential items to prepare for the new arrivals in February.
I wonder if this is going to be one of the new never-before-seen models?
I would think so!
