Really enjoyed reading this blog post on making press moulds or stamp tools for models.

Surrogates
Watched Surrogates
How do you save humanity when the only thing that’s real is you? From the director of TERMINATOR 3 comes a jaw-dropping psychological thriller starring the ultimate action hero, Bruce Willis. In the not-so-distant future, where people experience life through perfect surrogates controlled from the safety of their own homes, murder is a thing of the past. But when a college student linked to the creator of these replicants is killed, one FBI agent must re-enter reality and risk his life to unravel the mystery. In the battle of technology versus humanity, who can you trust? Experience every electrifying moment of this mind-blowing movie. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel and exploding with unforgettable action, SURROGATES is nonstop entertainment from start to finish!
I had relatively low expectations having read a few negative reviews. In the end though I quite enjoyed it. A very complicated plot with twists and turns all over the place; but very few surprises!

This is one of the many Lord of the Rings games which was on show at GW’s Bristol Conflict back in 2004.

New Ork Dreads and Kans
Games Workshop have on their website details of the new Ork Deff Dread and new Ork Killa Kans. Check out these links for more pictures and ordering information.
I do like the new Killa Kans which come three to a boxed set.
Killa Kans are essentially giant metal canisters on piston-driven legs that sport lethal close combat attachments and heavy-duty weaponry. One of their limbs usually ends in deadly-looking power shears or a great blood-encrusted buzz saw, whilst the other is a large calibre weapon welded to the opposite side.
This box set contains three multi-part plastic Ork Killa Kans. This 94-piece set includes: three variations of Cockpit, three different close combat weapons, a big shoota, a rokkit launcha and a skorcha. Also included are a host of glyphs, armour plates, horns, metal teef and dangly bitz. Models supplied with 60mm round bases.
You don’t get the chance to arm all three with the same weapon which is a standard tactic when using Ork Killa Kans, my metal models are all armed with Rokkit Launchas for example. But I am sure that if you wanted to swap there may be people you could swap with. I might use metal weapons, or spare weapons from the other plastic Ork kits I have.
I am less enthusiastic about the Deff Dread, but then I didn’t really like the old metal Ork Dreadnought. Still quite an impressive plastic kit. I am thinking the main reason I don’t like it, is the four arms!
Deff Dreads epitomise three main ideal of Ork warfare: big, shooty and stompy. They thunder and clank towards the foe, limbs waving as heavy weapons spit death into the enemy ranks and powered shears snip excitedly in anticipation of the bloodletting to come.
This box set contains one multi-part plastic Ork Deff Dread. This 86-piece set includes: two cockpit sights, 10 different glyphs, five different close combat weapons, two big shootas, two rokkits, two kustom blastas, a skorcha, and other assembly options. Model supplied with a 60mm round base.
I am very tempted by the Killa Kans (not like that I don’t already have enough ork stuff to paint). Models are out on the 6th March.

Blood Angels dropping in…
April sees the return of the Blood Angels.
This April the Blood Angels will be re-launched with an all-new Codex and range of plastic and metal miniatures. One of the oldest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, the Blood Angels have stood fast against the enemies of the Imperium since the Great Crusade and it was their Primarch Sanguinius, who laid down his life to aid the Emperor against Horus in the final hours of the Warmaster’s rebellion. The new Codex explores the background and history of these superhuman warriors like never before, and contains new artwork depicting some of their greatest battles and most powerful champions.
The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red.
