This massive Imperial Guard parade was part of a display at Warhammer World. You can see super heavy tanks and other tanks.
There was also infantry and Chimera APCs as well.
Watching the whole thing was Imperial officials.

Death Korps of Krieg Quad Launcher
The Quad Launcher is a highly effective anti-infantry and suppression weapon, lobbing four shells at a time down onto enemy trenches, or used for point defence in a direct fire role against enemy infantry attacks.
Of course the Quad Launcher is also known at the Thudd Gun. This one was on display at Warhammer World.
WH40K Planetary Defence Weapon
This huge, what I think is a, Planetary Defence Weapon was part of the huge Warhammer 40,000 diorama at Warhammer World.
Diorama at Warhammer World
Here is a overhead shot of the diorama between the forces of Chaos and the might of the Imperium. Though I think the Chaos forces have the advantage in numbers…
As you can see it is huge, so big that it doesn’t even fit into the shot. Here is another view, this time of the battle for the bridge.
I have posted a few things from this diorama already including a Warlord Titan at Warhammer World, a Chaos Vindicator, a Chaos Knight, a Forge World Chaos Warhound Titan, a Chaos Stormlord and a landed Legion Kharybdis Assault Claw.
Warhammer 40K Monopoly
I can not believe that there is a Warhammer 40K version of Monopoly….
The whole reason I got into Warhammer in the first place was how disappointed I was with games like Monopoly!
I remember the dissatisfaction that arose from the formulaic predictable nature of games like Monopoly. I especially remember the Game of Life which at the time was just pure luck, with no skill required, whatever you did was all based on the roll of dice and nothing else. What I liked about Warhammer was that, though luck played a part, it was more about strategy, tactics and skill. Even the underdog could win, which I think is why I often went down the Goblin or Grot route when it came to choosing forces.
Well we’ve come full circle….
Well if you want a copy you can buy it on Amazon.
Warlord Titan at Warhammer World
This Forge World Warlord Titan was on display at Warhammer World.
At the Titan’s feet you can see Knights and Rhino APCs, which look really small, almost Epic sized in comparison.
Chaos Vindicator
The Vindicator has been in use by Imperial forces since the Great Crusade, and it has hardly changed since those turbulent days so long ago. The Space Marine Legions that sided with the corrupted Warmaster and Primarch of the Luna Wolves, Horus Lupercal, used their Vindicators against the Loyalist forces of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy. After the Horus Heresy ended in a pyrrhic victory for the Emperor’s Loyalists, the Traitors fled into the Eye of Terror, and luckily the number of Vindicators they still have in their possession is quite low in the late 41st Millennium, due to the Traitor Legions’ inability to easily replace their losses.
This Chaos Vindicator was part of a large display at Warhammer World.
The Vindicator is an Imperial siege tank based on the Rhino chassis used by many Space Marine Chapters that boasts the most powerful weapon of its type in the Adeptus Astartes’ standard armoury, the Demolisher Cannon. It is highly valued and can only be issued to company officers whose units have been tasked with a specific tactical requirement. Though short-ranged, the Vindicator’s Demolisher Cannon is capable of destroying enemy armour and fortifications in a single shot.
Games Workshop have had a Vindicator model in their ranges for many years now. Originally a conversion article in White Dwarf back in 1989, it was followed up some years later with a Forge World resin conversion kit of the then new plastic rhino.
In 2007 Games Workshop released a new plastic Vindicator. Not to be outdone, in 2013 Forge World released the Demios Pattern Vindicator.
A nostalgic throwback to the original plastic conversion from 1989, this is obviously a lot more detailed and sophisticated model.
The Vindicator has a long history in Games Workshop and the many variations providing an interesting insight to the design and development of Games Workshop as a whole. From the early days of simple conversions, to Forge World conversion kits, a detailed plastic kit and then a retro throwback.
Chaos Knight
This Chaos Knight was marching across the battlefield at Warhammer World, opening fire on the enemy forces.
There were some nice touches, such as the shield with the laughing demons.
Chaos Stormlord
A fierce Chaos Stormlord on the assault at Warhammer World.
The Stormlord is a super-heavy main battle tank and variant of the Shadowsword tank-hunter and Titan-killer tank usually used by the forces of the Astra Militarum. The Stormlord replaces the Volcano Cannon of the Shadowsword with a Vulcan Mega Bolter. By removing the large capacitors and generators required for the Volcano Cannon to operate, extra space has been opened up near the rear of the vehicle which allows the Stormlord to carry up to 40 infantrymen as an open-topped armoured transport. With the Horus Hersey many Stormlords turned over to the forces of Chaos.
Forge World Chaos Warhound Titan
This Forge World Chaos Warhound Titan was marching across the battlefield at Warhammer World.
Wider angle with Land Raider and Vindicator in shot.
One of the things I like about Warhammer World are being able to see Forge World model in the flesh as it were. You really get a feel for the size and mass of the model, which isn’t always apparent from seeing it on the website.
