There were a few demonstration games on at Attack 2011 at Devizes and one of them was a very impressive 54mm scale Napoleonic game.
Ork Battlewagon with Supa Kannon
I got this model as a present, it combines the plastic Battlewagon kit with a resin Supa Kannon.
This is the preview model from the Forge World stand.
The plastic Battlewagon model contains four large sprues.
The resin pieces come in a bag
There is a fair bit of resin.
Forge World Macharius with Vanquisher Cannons
This wonderful Tallarn Macharius with Vanquisher Cannons was a Golden Demon entry at GamesDay 2008.
Basecoating the Flames of War Tiger I E (again)
The Tiger was feared so much by the Allies, that most German tanks were referred to as Tiger tanks. Tiger I is the common name of a German heavy tank used in World War II, developed in 1942. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. E, often shortened to Tiger.
Having given the Tiger a basecoat of Humbrol Dark Brown initially, I was not happy with the results.
After looking at some models online and discussions with Simon, decided that this was way too dark.
I bought some FoW Warpaint, for Late War German Armour and used that on the model.
Much happier with the result.
Here is the Tiger next to one my the Panthers.

54mm Napleonics
There were a few demonstration games on at Attack 2011 at Devizes and one of them was a very impressive 54mm scale Napoleonic game.
Undercoating the Kil Krusha
Having finished the Kil Krusha, leaving it for a while to let the glue dry and cure I gave the model a white undercoat.
I am pleased with how the model looks, now onto the bigger task of getting it painted.

Area 52
There is a new trailer for the second half of Doctor Who.
Some interesting clips, but what is the pyramid with Area 52 on the side all about?
End of August is when we should see it back. Can’t wait!
Ork Stormboyz
My Ork Stormboyz about to light their jump packs from behind a hill, all ready to assault some Space Marines.
More photographs of Orks.
Death Rally
In the dark and distant past I use to play Car Wars and also enjoyed the odd game of GW’s Battlecars. I even flirted with Dark Future for a while. I keep meaning to revist this genre, probably Car Wars which was a fun game.
However in the meantime I have been playing the odd game of Death Rally on my iPad.
It’s a great little racing game, but with guns and missiles, very much the flavour of Car Wars.
Flames of war Cromwell IV
The Cromwell Tank was one of the most successful series of cruiser tanks fielded by Britain in World War II.
The Cromwell tank, named after the English Civil War leader Oliver Cromwell, was the first tank in the British arsenal to combine a dual-purpose gun, high speed from the powerful and reliable Meteor engine, and reasonable armour, all in one balanced package. Its design formed the basis of the Comet tank. The Cromwell first saw action in June 1944, with the reconnaissance regiments of the Royal Armoured Corps.
In the blister you get a resin hull and turret and the rest of the model is in whitemetal.
In the end I picked up a couple more to make a full platoon.
