Necron Monolith

When I was at Warhammer World recently I took a couple of pictures of some of the Necron Monoliths on display. In the main to add to my expanding Warhammer 40K miniatures gallery and specifically the Necron gallery, which was short on pictures, but also because I do like the concept of the model.

There is something very different and menacing about the Monolith and I do applaud Games Workshop for coming up with a very alien vehicle and not producing a stereotypical Terminator’esque tank.

I don’t think I will ever collect Necrons, not a great fan of the army, like the concept, but not enough to pay out for them, lots of other things I would like to buy first. It would be interesting to see if Forge World will bring out anything else for the Necrons?

Dark Future Cars

Those with long memories may remember that at one time Games Workshop produced a 20mm near future Car Wars style game called Dark Future. In which armed and armoured cars fought each other over the open road.

The game came with a selection of plastic vehicles and some were on display at Warhammer World.

When the game was been promoted in White Dwarf there were lots of articles on how to convert Matchbox cars for use with Dark Future.

I really did like the concept and the metal miniatures which were also produced for the game, but though I admit I preferred the Car Wars rules.

Limited Editions

One of the display cabinets at Warhammer World which I enjoyed looking at was the archive cabinet.

Here are two original Citadel Miniatures, the Chainsaw Warrior (from the boardgame of the same name) and an original Space Marine in Power Armour.

I have quite a few pictures of these and other limited editions on my web site.

Saurus and Slann

A wonderful unit of Saurus Warriors with a Slann leading them.

Warhammer World Miniatures Display

This is just one part of the huge display of Citadel Miniatures that can be found at Warhammer World at the head office of Games Workshop in Nottingham.

There are some wonderful miniatures and armies here, including some nice archive stuff as well as some of the newer more recent armies.

If you think they look good painted in White Dwarf, they seem to be even better in the flesh.

I certainly enjoyed my visit there.

Update: see the photographs I took on that visit to Warhammer World

Ultramarines Dreadnoughts

Some very nice Ultramarines Dreadnoughts on display at Warhammer World.

To the right of this pic (cropped as it was blurred, but you can see the shoulder) was the GW Venerable Dreadnought, which compared to the really nice Forgeworld models is horrible. It even looks like extra metal parts added to the standard Dreadnought.

So if you are in the market for a Venerable Dreadnought, spend the extra money and get yourself a really nice resin version from Forgeworld.
