This is a rather good Iron Warriors Chaos BaneBlade that was on display in Warhammer World in Nottingham.
It is part of much larger Iron Warriors army by Christian Bryne.

Apocalypse
What I found out eavesdropping on the managers’ briefing…
Well what a nice surprise.
I am up in Nottingham and popped into Warhammer World to have a look round (expect a further blog post and photos about that later).
So there I was in the Warhammer World shop having a conversation with the staff when they mentioned that they were about to have a managers’ briefing on Apocalypse.
Guess who stayed around to listen in and I managed to get a sneak preview of the rulebook and a look inside many of the boxes of the new miniatures.
Linebreaker Squadron
Okay so we know this box has three Vindicators, and you may have noticed from the box art that they come with reinforced armour. What I found out today is that the box contains the chaos parts as well, so you can make up a Chaos Vindicator squadron out of the box.
Imperial Guard BaneBlade
I had a look inside the box, it’s a lot of plastic.
You don’t get as rumoured any Chaos or Ork parts (the book has a photo of an Orky BaneBlade (Skullhamma) conversion). You do get the new “spare parts” sprue which has been seen on the web.
It is a really nice model, and having now seen it in the flesh it is one big model.
The crew are really nice as well.
Warhammer 40000 Basing Kit
This (unlike before) is not a limited edition. It’s the same size as before and you get four tubs and some etched brass.
You get the two tubs of slate (small and large) as you did with the previous box, two boxes of resin pieces (different to the previous box) and instead of the barbed wire, you get an etched brass sheet which has manhole covers, drains, and other nice bits and pieces.
Apocalypse Book
This is a really nice book, nicely laid out and lots of lovely colour photographs. I liked the four page spread of the Ork battlefield.
Stompaz
The ones we have seen are scratchbuilds/conversions that will not (at this time) be going into production, it was considered, but a decision was made not to.
Backpack
Very nice backpack with dice, rulebook and templates for £60. Templates are nice and thick as well compared to the normal templates, about quarter of an inch.
Sorry no photographs, I felt that would not be fair on the guys who let me see all the stuff. As I was leaving they packed everything up and took it all away.
Inquisitorial Rhino Doors
One of the other things I recently purchased from Forgeworld were some Inquisitorial Rhino doors.
I will be using the side doors either on my Mk IIb Land Raider or the Repressor and the front on the Razorback.
Plastic Imperial Guard BaneBlade
In the latest issue of White Dward (#333) we finally find out the price of the new plastic Imperial Guard BaneBlade.
It’s £60!
It comes in a big box and as well as seven sprues (250 odd parts) you also get a chaos sprue, a traitor sprue and an Ork sprue for potential conversions (or so I’ve heard).
I have also heard that GW shops in the UK will be getting two models around or on the 13th September. One they will be build and one to show people the parts.
It actually goes on sale on the 13th October in the UK, however I suspect that we will almost certainly see the new model on sale at GamesDay at the end of September, if it isn’t there on sale then I will eat my blog!
Filling the gaps
I used some Green Stuff to fill the gaps in my Repressor’s ill fitting top.
Need to tidy up the filling a little bit.
Grey Knights Purity Seals
I have been painting the purity seals on my Grey Knights.
I used a light brown foundation paint for the paper of the seals and the red for the wax and then highlighted with normal Citadel colour.
I also took the opportunity to add some “burn” weathering to the flamer.
I have also been tidying up the armour connectors and painting them in Chaos Black over the drybrushed Boltgun Metal in order to make the armour look a little smarter and neater.
Grey Knights Landspeeder – progress report
It’s getting there, but I better get the crew done soon.
I am making some progress on my Grey Knights Landspeeder. Having done the purity seals I painted the skulls with a light brown foundation paint, I will be highlighting these with bleached bones.
Another view.
it’s getting there, but I better get the crew done soon.
Writing the Purity Seals on my Grey Knights Landspeeder
Having finished off the red wax on my Grey Knights Landspeeder I set about adding writing to the paper parts of the purity seals.
I used a watered down Chaos Black for the writing.
I am okay with the end result, but would have liked to have done some finer writing, so I may try again.
I also took the opportunity to paint the Inquisitorial book on the front with a red foundation paint.
This needs some tidying up as well.
Inquisitor Acolyte – more progress
My Daemonhunters Inquisitor is going to have an entourage, one of whom will be an Inquisitor Acolyte. I started this model sometime ago, but have (as with all my Daemonhunters models) been revisting them in mind to get them finished.
At this stage I had done some work.
I painted the parchment and books with Bleached Bone and highlighted with Skull White.
This is the rear view.
I did start to highlight the cloak, but this didn’t work out too well so the paint was quickly removed, it looked too pink!
Red Wax on my purity seals
Having painted the paper parts of the purity seals on my Grey Knights Landspeeder I highlighted the seals with Bleached Bone and Skull White.
I then painted the wax seals. I used the red foundation paint for this (as I had used a black undercoat). I then highlighted the seals with normal Citadel Colour, Blood Red.
I will need to do the writing next.
