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 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.
Squiggoth in action from a recent game…
With Orks with Burnaz on board it was a force to be reckoned with.
Even though the rules (as is) don’t allow Burnaboyz on board, it makes for an effective CityFight unit.
Orks and Grots advance, they were suppose to be defending…
This picture was taken from a recent game.
The Orks were defending the ruins of a city facing an onslaught of Imperial Guard.
This is a Forgeworld Salamander that my gaming opponent has made.
He said it was a good kit, though some of the resin was rather “plastic-like”.
It is a well detailed kit.
A rear shot of my Ork Wartrakk…
I am a fan of the Ork Wartrakk model.
It has a certain charm that I like.
The key with additional models will be to avoid conformity as no Ork vehicle should be like another.
An Imperial Guard Armoured Column traverses through a ruined Imperial city…
Forgeworld conversion kit…
Here is a picture of a Simon’s Medusa.
When I was at Bristol Conflict, one of the nice things is the fact you can buy stuff which has not been released yet. One item caught my eye, which was the Sisters of Battle Exorcist.
Though I prefer the Forgeworld version, which looks more militaristic, the GW version has a certain charm and you certainly get a lot in the box.
The side panels are particularly nice and well sculptured.
