Though I am growing to like the new plastic Deffkoptaz, I still prefer the metal ones.
I have a flight of three of them and though they never seem to last very long in the games I play, if they do get in range open fire with all those twin-linked Big Shootaz, then they can make a very nasty mess of Simon’s Imperal Guard infantry units.
I even modelled them with bombz, before they were included in the rules in the new codex.
The scenery are my desert boards in an unfinished state.

A couple of Ork Trukks of mine about to move across the battlefield.
The Trukks are quite old and seem to come out in black when photographed, whereas they are quite rusty really. With the Trukks I am intending to use the old Trukks as Warbuggies.

Most of these Orks have heavy weapons, whilst one of them has found a Boar!

Is it just me but is any other Ork player looking at the new plastic Skaven Doomwheel and thinking, “now that could be an interesting Ork vehicle or bike!”
I am thinking a Weird Boy transport option.
Of course being plastic means that conversion should be easier than the previous metal version.
Thinking about it.
Hadn’t seen these before, quite like them.
Will be useful as crew for Imperial Guard tanks and flyers too.

So this is screengrab from the excellent 1969 film, the Battle Of Britain
Notice anything?
Well it was no secret that the film makers did not use original German Heinkel III bombers, but post war Spanish built versions which were at that time still part of the Spanish Airforce.
They used Rolls Royce engines which gave the game away, but look closely at the wings and you can see the Spanish roundles underneath the Luftwaffe paintwork.
Minor quibble on a great film.
Ork StormBoyz from my Ork army moving across the battlefield, a ruined Imperial city. They have the nickname “the lipstick boyz”.

In a limited release, Games Workshop are re-releasing Space Hulk.
From the depths of space an ancient vessel drifts slowly towards the Imperium of Mankind – a space hulk. Within its confines, untold thousands of Genestealers slowly emerge from hibernation. The Space Marines must enter the cramped corridors and tomb-like chambers of the ancient ship to defeat this alien menace.
Space Hulk is a board game for two players, recreating the battles fought between the Space Marines and Genestealers. One player commands the Space Marines as they carry out deadly missions in the ancient Space Hulk, and the other commands the horde of Genestealers opposing them. Space Hulk’s fast-paced rules simulate the tense atmosphere of a mission deep inside the cramped confines of a derelict space hulk, where split-second decisions are needed for victory.
This boxed game contains: a 23-page Rulebook, a 47-page Mission book and 35 finely-detailed, plastic Citadel miniatures, including: 11 Space Marine Terminators, one Space Marine Terminator Librarian, 22 Genestealers, and one Broodlord.
Also included are: 105 gaming counters, 24 corridors, 10 rooms, eight crossroads, eight T-junctions, six corner sections, four dead ends, four end pieces, 20 doors with plastic stands, one mission status display, and three plastic mission objectives, including: a dead Space Marine on throne, a Blood Angels artefact and a Cyber-Altered Task Unit. Plus a sand timer and five bone-coloured dice unique to this game.
I was never that into Space Hulk, I have never bought the game in its earlier incarnations. Not to say I have never played, I have had a few games.
I am considering a purchase, but I suspect I won’t. What about you, are you going to buy a copy?
