One of my Christmas presents (from last year) was a Grey Knight Terminator with a Psycannon.
The model went together very nicely. I used Citadel sand on the base and resin and slate from the Warhammer 40000 Basing Kit. I then gave the model a black undercoat.
The next stage will be a basecoat of Boltgun Metal.

One of the issues of being one of the slowest painters in the world is that when you eventually do paint the models, you can find that they have been replaced by newer plastic versions, which sometimes are better, sometimes not, but usually different…

This was part of the Apocalypse releases.
Having put the model together I gave it a black undercoat.

The next stage will be a drybrush.

One of the things I liked about Cities of Death was the large Ork “town” which was there alongside the ruined Imperial Cities.
I also really liked the Ork Shanty Town which was the new Forge World display at GamesDay 2009. Some great scenery in there too.
I know I will never have the time, space or resources to make something similar, but I did like the concept and thought it would be nice to have some buildings for my Ork Airfield, well at least something that could be used alongside my Ork Bommer.
So I took an old DVD-R spindle tub I had, these are available in various sizes depending on how many disks there are, I used a 25 disk tub. The first thing I did was cut up some plasticard, wooden sticks and Starbucks™ wooden stirrers into similar lengths. I also delved into my bitz box to get some parts, in the main from Imperial vehicles, ie Rhino and Land Raider doors. Then using a hot glue gun I stuck these to the side of the DVD tub. A hot glue gun is perfect for this kind of thing, as both plastic and super glues are unsuitable for this kind of model. When I thought about the floor of the fort, I did initially think about adding a series of wooden planks or metal sheets, however in the end I went with using modelling sand, which I think will look quite effective when painted and somewhat Orky. The next stage was to add rivets using cut plastic rod and plastic sprue. I used both strips of plastic rod and hexagonal rod. Using the hexagonal rod to make nuts and bolts.
Having got far as I wanted to with the scrap, I gave the model a black undercoat.
This was really to ensure that when painted there would be an even tone over the model due to the diverse nature of the materials used in its construction.
See the full workbench pages for the fort.
As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.
The first stage was to base them, and like many Citadel Miniatures the Slottabase™ tabs are way too thin for the Slottabase™ slots. So a large amount of Green Stuff was required to ensure that gaps were not only filled, but also to stop the troopers leaning over.
The bases had some small pieces of slate stuck to them before being “flocked” with Citadel modelling sand.
I also glued the missile launcher to the missile launcher operator.
See the workbench feature on these Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.
You can see how they will look by checking out the workbench feature on the Tallarn blister.

Though I would like to be able to afford a Thunderhawk I know that basically won’t be possible! So with a conversion in mind, I decided to see if could use an old Kenner Rebel Blockade Runner (I had in the garage for use with Full Thrust Star Wars) and utilise it as a Grey Knights’ Gunship.
