This is a Forgeworld Squiggoth from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
This is the big version, I like the smaller version (which I have) but not sure about the bigger brother.

This is a Forgeworld Looted Rhino with additional roller from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
I quite like the Looted Rhino, but I think it is quite expensive, even for Forgeworld prices.
This is the Forgeworld Armoured Ork Gunwagon from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
I use to not like this model, the fact it was based on that awful plastic four wheeled Ork Battlewagon (from GW a few years back) was probably the reason.
However I think because I got some of the Epic Ork Gunwagons I have grown to like it. I did try and buy the basic Gunwagon at GamesDay, but they had none in stock.
This is the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha from their Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
What I find quite revealing about the model (and it is a display model) is that this is a conversion, the Wartrakk’s tracks have been replaced by wheels and the driver has had its top half replaced by an Ork Boyz model. These extra parts are not included in the Forgeworld kit, but I would have thought a display model should be as you get it and not with added bitz…
I often paint my miniatures to what I call a gaming standard (okay to put on the table) and then add detail later (sometimes much later).
I decided it was high time that I added some detailing to my Killa Kans, as they looked a little plain, especially in the missile department. The Rokkits were painted white, then red and then given a wash on ink to gloss them up slightly.
In the main I will be adding some copper and bronze to various metal parts and adding some more Ork glyphs.
These are some of my new Epic painted vehicles on patrol.
Even though they are painted in desert colours I think they look quite good on the grassy terrain.
Here is a group shot of my desert style Ork vehicles.
There are a real mix of old and new models, metal and resin.
As you can see I have followed *fashion* and I have based the miniatures which has its advantages and disadvantages.
I have since photographing these got some more brown paints from GW so I can continue the brown theme but maintain a distinctness between the vehicles.
