The Universal Carrier, also known as the Bren Gun Carrier is a common name describing a family of light armoured tracked vehicles built by Vickers-Armstrong.
The carrier is marked in the colours of the Brigade Piron, a Belgian force that fought with the Allies during World War II. This carrier was on display at the Musée royal de l’armée et de l’histoire militaire or Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels.
In the display cabinets at Warhammer World there are some really nice models of the Astra Militarum Super Heavy Tanks.
Though, I like the little Chimera APC which has sneaked into the display.
More photographs of the Astra Militarum Super Heavy Tanks.
A single super-heavy tank is a dominant presence in an Astra Militarum battle line. As it ploughs inexorably forward it lays down a wide path of destruction. Enemy ranks shatter long before it reaches their position, and those unlucky few who are able to maintain their defensive formations are ground to paste under the slab-like plates of its tracks.
This was a Legions Imperialis Diorama at Warhammer World. I took some more photographs of the diorama on my last visit to there.
Ceres City changed hands nine times during the campaign for control of the Delta-Garmon system, and the diorama captures the Blood Angels and the Titans of Legio Solaria waging war against the Iron Warriors and Legio Fureans.
More photographs of the diorama.
The Ordinatus Sagittar is a rare and truly arcane weapon system of huge power. Its primary weapon is the Volcano Cannon.
This Ordinatus Sagittar was on display at Warhammer World.
The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a military transport aircraft developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner.
It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front-line service with various military operators for many years.
I got a number of the Ruined Factorum sprues, when they were included with copies of. Warhammer 40000 Imperium. Most of the versions of the ruins were partially completed. I think I will need to get these finished.
Workbench features on the different models
The Shadowsword is the sister tank to the Baneblade, a super-heavy vehicle employed by Solar Auxilia cohorts to engage and destroy enemy macro-engines with its volcano cannon. The same chassis has also been adapted to mount different primary weapons suited to their own modes of destruction, like the bunker-busting Stormsword siege cannon or the versatile plasma blastgun of the Stormblade.

Magma City was one of the last Loyalist strongholds on Mars, a bastion of high technology defended by the survivors of the Death of Innocence. High-Adept Koriel Zeth, sovereign of Magma City, fought a desperate defence against overwhelming odds, battling Traitor titans and the warped creations of the Dark Mechanicum. Rather than surrender, Zeth chose to trigger a cataclysm which flooded the city in lava, destroying Loyalist and Traitor alike.
In 1988 Belgium placed an order for 46 helicopters of the A 109 type. They are tasked with various missions: observation, anti-tank operations, fire support, liaison and medical evacuation. Some ten units were still operational in 2020
I am probably posting this video more for myself than for anyone else.
I do need to apply decals to not only my Flames of War models, but also my Imperial Fists models for The Horus Heresy as well.
