Victorian Leman Russ Tank

The main focus of Bristol Conflict 2003 (was it really six years ago now) was the tournament games. Yes there was a Forge World stand and yes there were demonstration games and yes there was a very very small Games Workshop retail stand, however the main reason people went was to play games.

One Imperial Guard army which caught my eye was a Victorian Science Fiction themed army which made extensive use of the Praetorian Imperial Guard figures.

The main tank used was a “Leman Russ” though as you can see the actual model took elements of the Leman Russ and combined it with an Imperial Steam Tank from Warhammer Fantasy.

It was a really nice army.

Great blog on someone else’s Praetorian Imperial Guard army.

Advancing across the battlefield

This my Ork army advancing across the battlefield.

The scenery tiles are “homemade” using blocks of 4′ x 1½’ polystryene which I covered in the (original) Games Workshop gaming grass mat. I have four of these blocks, as the 6′ x 4′ grass mat covered them easily.

The hills are from a company I can’t remember and find at the moment!

Trees are model railway trees.

Squiggoth about to move forward…

My Ork Squiggoth prepares to move forward. This photograph was taken at a weird angle (don’t remember why) and on my unfinished desert terrain boards, which as a result are a dark purple-red colour.

This is the Forge World model and you can see how I painted it in my workbench feature on the model.

Of course the rules for this model are not in the standard rules or the Ork Codex.

I use to use the Forge World supplements, but more recently I have been using the rules from Apocalypse.

Forge World Valkyrie at GamesDay 2003

With the release of the plastic Valkyrie you forget that the resin Forge World model has been with us for over six years now.

This was the Forge World model that was entered into the Golden Demon at GamesDay 2003.
