One of the vehicles Simon has in his collection is this very nice Space Marine Predator. Here is another picture of his Predator, this time from the top.
This is a really nice model and I like what Simon has done with it.
More pictures of Predators.

The Mole Mortar is back!
The infamous Mole Mortar is back!
At the Warhammer 40K 5th Edition bash at Warhammer World yesterday (12th June) Forge World had on display a sneek peek of a Krieg Engineer team with Mole Launcher; which has to be a Mole Mortar by any other name!
Nice model and a must for anyone using Death Korps of Krieg.
Thanks to BoLS.
New Ork Barricades
I was a fan of the Cities of Death Urban Barricades and Walls which were six resin barricades.
Well according to the rumour sites, Games Workshop will be releasing some Ork variants.
They look great, and I will certainly be getting some.
Forge World Ork Gunwagon
If you have been following my workbench feature on my Forge World Ork Gunwagon, you will know that it is nearly finished. Though not quite finished, it’s finished enough for me to use in a game (or two).
It performs quite well, and just ensure you have a few Meks around to fix it when it gets shot to pieces.
“That Damn Dreadnought”
Simon’s Space Marine Dreadnought usually suffers terribly in our games.
However in the last game we played which included the Dreadnought, it performed quite well, much better than usual.
What this really means is that I can’t depend on it just blowing up anymore, it could be dangerous!
See our Dreadnought gallery.

Face off
In a recent game my Ork Squiggoth did quite well in taking out some of Simon’s armoured vehicles.
In this shot, the Squiggoth is attempting to have a disagreement with a Vindicator.
See some Warhammer 40k battle reports.
Apocalypse Reload
Normally when Games Workshop release a supplement, they release a bundle of stuff over two or three months, then ignore it for ages until they re-release it or ignore it for ever!
Remember Cityfight and Cities of Death?
What about Armageddon?
Well it appears that Apocalypse is somewhat different.
There was the usual two or three months of new releases last September – remember the BaneBlade!
However with the release of fifth edition of Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop are publishing a new Apocalypse book, Apocalypse Reload.
This doesn’t appear to be a new version of the old book for the new version of Warhammer 40K, but a supplement to the original Apocalypse rulebook.
Check the blurb from the Games Workshop website.
Apocalypse Reload is a supplement to the hugely popular Apocalypse book, crammed full of more than 50 exciting new datasheets, new strategic assests specific to each Warhammer 40,000 army, and an Apocalypse battle report that has to be seen to be believed!
Well I am not sure if it is that good it “has to be seen to be believed” but I think I may be getting a copy.

Inside Warhammer 40K 5th Edition
Games Workshop have published a couple of previews of the new 5th edition Warhammer 40K.
Better than ever, the new rulebook updates and develops the rules, adding new detail and clarification to create a fast paced, exciting and rewarding gaming experience. But it’s not just the rules that have been expanded, you will also find within its pages a mammoth background section, going into depth like never before to delve into the races, conflicts and history of the 41 st millennium.
Read more on the background in the book.
Read more on the hobby section in the book.
There will be a third preview soon.
Overall I am looking forward to the new rules and will probably buy the new rulebook – and the boxed set when that comes out in September.
Update April 2011: the GW links no longer work.
