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.

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.
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.
One of the vehicles Simon has in his collection is this very nice Space Marine Predator. Here is another picture of his Predator.
This is a really nice model and I like what Simon has done with it.
More pictures of Predators.
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.
I mentioned in a posting in early May that there was a “possibility” of plastic Deffkoptaz, well here’s a photo of the forthcoming plastic Deffkopta from the (rumoured) new Warhammer 40,000 fifth edition boxed set.
I have to admit I am not that impressed.
They look a lot smaller than the original metal variants, and more like the (new’ish) Epic Armageddon version.
Of course they are plastic and therefore have conversion potential.

I am quite pleased with my Ork army and it seems to play well as well.
Here is part of my Ork army at the start of a game.
There are a couple of Killa Kans which are now more effective in the shooting phase as they are crewed by grots who have a BS of 3 compared to the 2 of regular Orks.
A couple of trukks and my Squiggoth. In front of the trukks are a flight of Deffkoptaz.
Had a really enjoyable game at the weekend.
One of the vehicles Simon used was his Space Marine Predator.
This is a really nice model and I like what Simon has done with it.
