This is the Forgeworld Medusa, Armageddon Pattern.
A very nice model, though would the Imperial Guard let it get this rusty?

Imperial Guard Basilisk
This is a model of the Imperial Guard Basilisk Armageddon Pattern, from the collection of my friend Simon.
It is an Imperial Guard Basilisk Armageddon Pattern with extra stowage and a muzzle brake. It has a very detailed and well painted interior.
Simon took a range of photographs of the painting process and I hope to have a workbench feature on this model in the near future.
Warhammer 40K Fourth Edition First Games
Today I have my first two games of Warhammer 40K using the new fourth edition rules.
The first was a small infantry bash to try out the shooting and assault rules.
I did lose, but then I only had sixteen Orks and I was facing thirty Imperial Guard.
The rules seem a little clearer, but somethings are missing like weapon stats for the Orks (which are not all in the Codex) such as the Shoota. The newer Codicies such as the Imperial Guard do contain all the weapon stats.
The second game was the same Orks versus Imperial Guard, but the Guard had a Basilisk and a Demolisher, whilst I reinforced the Orks with a Squiggoth, two Killa Kans, a Trukk, a Wartrakk and a Grot Bomb Launcha. I got within 10″ of the Imperial Guard before the final shot was fired (and this included reviving a shot Squiggoth and allowing the Grot Bomb Launcha to reload…
Old Imperial Guard next to an APC…
These are original Codex Grey Imperial Guard.
Their transport is the Halycon Aliens APC.
Warhammer 40K Rulebook
The newest edition of Warhammer 40000 is now out in the shops in the UK and I now have my copy.
Costing £30, the 288 page rulebook is a massive tome and I was pleased to see it was a hardback edition – my previous edition was paperback!
Unlike previous editions, this is a more an update on the previous version rather than a whole new version. In theory previous codices will still “work” with the new rules.
Orks in Mega-Armour fighting in the ruins of an Imperial city…
These are my two Orks in Mega-Armour.
They are quite nasty and dangerous individuals and have caused quite a few headaches for my opponent.
You can see more pictures of my Orks and pictures from various shows in the Orks Gallery on my website.
Imperial Hellhound
A superb model from Simon’s collection…
This is a variant Imperial Guard Hellhound.
The main addition is the trailer which is, as most people can guess, from the Ork Skorcha model.
The new rules for Hellhounds in the latest Imperial Guard Codex certainly make them more threatening then before.
Grot Cutta
I originally bought this model for my Flintloque army.
It is a Gorkamorka Grot Cutta.
I am intending to use it with my Warhammer 40K Ork army as an alternative buggy.
The model originally came with two rear rubber tires, I decided (as it was a fantasy napoleonic army) to use the WH40K metal wheels. I have kept them as I think it looks better that way.
New Rulebook Out
The newest edition of Warhammer 40000 is now out in the shops in the UK.
Costing £30, the 288 page rulebook is a massive tome.
Unlike previous editions, this is a more an update on the previous version rather than a whole new version. In theory previous codices will still “work” with the new rules.
Grot Bomb Launched
Grot Bomb launched and bounced off the frontal armour again…
I do like the Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha and it is great fun in games.
This picture from a recent game is just after I launched the Grot Bomb at an Imperial Hellhound and as per usual it bounced off the frontal armour….
It seems to do that a lot, it strikes the target (always a tank), but fails to do any damage. Perhaps I should go for different targets such as infantry?
I think the real answer is to go for a few more and create a barrage of Grot Bombs, that may work…
You can see on my workbench feature how I put together and painted this excellent little model.
