These Elven sailing ships for Warhammer Fantasy Battle were on display in Warhammer World.

Tichi-Huchi’s Raiders
Tichi-Huchi’s Raiders Skink Horned One Riders.
From Warhammer World.
Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates
Long Drong’s Slayer Pirates are a Regiment of Renown. These are the ‘Eavy Metal versions in Warhammer World. I always liked the idea of these models, they are still available on the GW website
Dreadfleet
In the display cabinets at Warhammer World was a set of Dreadfleet.
These are really nicely painted models. I did quite like the concept of Dreadfleet, however I didn’t get a copy. It reminded me very much of Man O War, a game I did buy but only played a few times.
I think if I was going to to play a fantasy naval game I would go with Spartan Games and Uncharted Seas.
Ultramarines Life Size Rhino
Just outside Warhammer World in the car park is the full size Rhino that was originally used as a promotional piece for the THQ Dawn of War video game.
THQ gave the Rhino to Games Workshop who then gave it a repaint in Ultramarines colours.
Top Ten Posts of 2011
Another successful year for Felix’s Gaming Pages with over 450 blog posts put online. Slightly less hits this year, but that was in the main as I didn’t attend GamesDay 2011 and therefore didn’t live blog as I have done in previous years. So what were the top ten posts (by visits) for 2011.
Well the 10th most popular post was about the return of Space Hulk. I was never that into Space Hulk, I have never bought the game in its earlier incarnations, but lots of people bought the limited re-release, so much so, it sold out very quickly.
This post was a live blog post from GamesDay 2010. I was posting photographs from the show live to the blog via my phone. This was of a fantastic Warhammer Fantasy diorama, the Siege of Altdorf. I also took a fair few photographs of the siege using my DSLR.
Some excellent scenery and very evocative of the Warhammer world.
Some very nice Ultramarines Dreadnoughts on display at Warhammer World. Warhammer World is always worth a visit and I have spent lots of time looking at all the wonderful miniatures in the Citadel Miniatures Hall. Every time I have visited I have seen something new (and sometimes something old).
7. Bloodthirster Greater Daemon of Khorne
The Bloodthirster Greater Daemon of Khorne from the Forge World display cabinets at GamesDay 2004.
6. Space Wolves Space Marine Army
This post is from 2007 and was a photograph of an amazing Space Wolves Army. This is one of those displays at GamesDay which makes you go wow! And then you think how much did he spend…
More photographs of this amazing army.
Another old post, from 2007, and another photograph from Warhammer World. A wonderful unit of Saurus Warriors with a Slann leading them. Part of the ‘Eavy Metal Lizardmen Army on display at Warhammer World.
4. Flames of War – Battle of the Bulge
This post was from 2011 and discussed the possibilities of a Flames of War Battle of the Bulge supplement that Battlefront mentioned in Feburary. Within the post I discussed the tanks that I hoped we would see in any such release including the M24 Chaffee and the Comet.
I also speculated how nice it would be to see some Late-War Monsters.
3. Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines’ Land Raider
This post was all the photographs I had taken of Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines’ Land Raider from the ‘Eavy Metal display cabinets at both GamesDay 2005 and Warhammer World.
This photograph of a Chaos Baneblade that won the Silver Golden Demon at GamesDay 2007 is my second most popular post and the reason it is, is that if you put Baneblade into Google this image comes up!
Lots of photographs of the Baneblade.
So my most popular post of 2011 was a posting from February 2009 about a link I had found in the community feed of some beautifully painted Death Korps of Krieg tanks.
So will these same posts be just as popular in 2012, we will have to wait and see.
Warhammer Fantasy Village
These boards were in Warhammer World.
Some really nice conversions of the Chapel and Fortified Tower.
Tallarn Stormlord
Tallarn Stormlord from Warhammer World
The Stormlord is a super-heavy main battle tank and variant of the Shadowsword tank-hunter and Titan-killer tank used by the forces of the Astra Militarum. The Stormlord replaces the Volcano Cannon of the Shadowsword with a Vulcan Mega Bolter. By removing the large capacitors and generators required for the Volcano Cannon to operate, extra space has been opened up near the rear of the vehicle which allows the Stormlord to carry up to 40 infantrymen as an open-topped armoured transport.
Tau Devilfish
The classic Tau Devilfish APC from the displayt cabinets at Warhammer World.
Always quite liked the Tau concept, but was never sure how well it fitted into the Warhammer 40,000 mythos. They seemed a little too high tech for the universe background.
Anyhow the Devilfish is a nice looking model and this is how it looked when the Tau were first released all those years ago.
Killa Kan
This really nice Grot Killa Kan was on display at Warhammer World.
I really do like this plastic kit and I do have a box of them myself, that was given to me as a present. Though I still have a lot to do to them to get them finished, see how far I have got here.
