Eldar Avatar

From the display at Warhammer World was this fantastic Eldar Avatar.

Every craftworld is home to an Eldar Avatar who sits motionless until the call to arms begins. He is the embodiment of an ancient God, molten iron flowing through his veins. In his right he carries the Wailing Doom, the weapon of the bloodstained God which cries for the taste of mortal flesh.

The painter has created a wonderful fire energy effect beneath the armour, the Avatar looks like it is brimming with plasma or something equally powerful.

The Fortress of Redemption

This is The Fortress of Redemption on display in Warhammer World.

The Fortress of Redemption is an indomitable fortress, a towering bulwark against the ravages of planetary invasion. First used by the Dark Angels of the Adeptus Astartes, these unyielding fortresses have since been used by every military force in the Imperium of Man, and have proved invaluable in the war against disorder. A nigh on unassailable stronghold, the Fortress of Redemption bristles with weaponry, a missile silo and two bunker annexes.

This is quite a “constrained” piece of scenery in that it is very specific terrain piece that has, in my opinion, little use outside a Dark Angels army. If this had been a non-specific Space Marine chapter fortress I am sure I would have bought one, as I suspect many others would as well. Having said that I do like the fact that Games Workshop as well as producing non-specific terrain also makes specific terrain.

The Mole Mortar is back!

The infamous Mole Mortar is back!

At the Warhammer 40K 5th Edition bash at Warhammer World yesterday (12th June) Forge World had on display a sneek peek of a Krieg Engineer team with Mole Launcher; which has to be a Mole Mortar by any other name!

The Mole Mortar is back!

Nice model and a must for anyone using Death Korps of Krieg.

Thanks to BoLS.

Adeptus Mechanicus Termite

In one of the display cabinets in the Warhammer World store when I was there back in September 2007, was a wonderful Adeptus Mechanicus army.

The highlight for me as this excellent Termite.

Converted with much scratch-building, it certainly is a wonderful model.

I wonder if Forge World will ever get round to making stuff like this?
