Dwarf Master Runelord Thorek Ironbrow and the Anvil of Doom in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
Thorek is the Master Runelord of Karak Azulans, some say, the greatest runelord alive. He is the only Runelord that has the knowledge to make use of the Rune of Doom, the very rune that gave the Anvils their name.
See more pictures of Dwarfs. See more photographs from GamesDay 2005.
Dwarf High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer and the Throne of Power in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
Thorgrim is the descendant of the most ancient and noble of all Dwarf lords. The very blood of Grugni flows in his veins and the wisdow of Valaya sits upon his beetling brow.

A couple of photographs of a Warhammer Fantasy Game from GamesDay 2003.
This very weird and wonderful model of a Goblin Warboss on Gigantic Spider is from the Citadel Collectors Range and was on display at GamesDay 2007.
More photographs of Orcs and Goblins.
I am always impressed with the scenery that comes out from the Games Workshop Design Studio from the hands of such talented craftsman like Dave Andrews.
When such models are on display at GamesDay I do like to capture them with my camera and use the pictures for inspiration.
One such excellent model was this Warhammer Gate House which combined the Mighty Fortress and the Watchtower.
On display at GamesDay 2007.

This farm was part of a beautiful Warhammer Fantasy demonstration games which was displayed at GamesDay 2008 in the UK.
Very nicely painted and really works well together, made for an impressive table for gaming.
More pictures from the same game. More picture of terrain and scenery on my website.
This was a beautiful Warhammer Fantasy demonstration games which was displayed at GamesDay 2008 in the UK.
Not sure of the forces involved, in the main because I was looking at the scenery.
There are various Games Workshop plastic kits on the table, such as the Manor House here.
Resin buildings from other maufacturers were also present, including this market place.
And this house.
Very nicely painted and really works well together, made for an impressive table for gaming.
I have undercoated my Warhammer Chapel.
As you can see the detail can still be seen through the black undercoat.
Next stage will be adding the basecoat.
Though designed for Warhammer Fantasy, I will be using this in the main for Warhammer 40,000.

When I was at GamesDay I had a chat with the White Dwarf crew about future issues. They only had the October and November issues available to preview. The October issue was in fact on sale at GamesDay, though the November issue did have a picture of the Ork Battlewagon. I was told by the WD crew that the December issue wasn’t at GamesDay as that would “ruin the surprise”.
Now what was that “surprise”?
I wondered at the time if it was going to be the Ork Stompa, now I think looking at the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Tabletop Gaming blog was the “surprise” a plastic Lizardman Stegadon?
I don’t have the issue of White Dwarf to hand so I can’t check to see what else is in it, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
There may be a few ways I think I could use a plastic Stegadon in my Warhammer 40K games.
