I was lucky enough to get for one Christmas a few years back two packs of Foundry Old West Outlaws (thank you Simon).
Here are three more of the Outlaws based and undercoated with a white undercoat.
Have a look at my Old West miniatures Gallery.
Forge World Generator
One of the purchases I made from Forge World was the generator.
One of the key things you need to do with virtually all Forge World models is to give them a good wash.
When the Forge World models are cast, the mould is given a spray (I guess) of some kind of lubricant to allow the cast model to be released from the mould easily. However the lubricant also acts as a barrier to paint, so as happened with previous models I (and others) have painted is that the paint flecks off.
Washing the model in water with a drop of washing up liquid should remove the lubricant. Avoid using hot water as this could warp the resin (a useful tip if you need to warped resin back to its original shape).
Once washed the model is then ready for painting. The model was given a black undercoat.
Eldar Wraithlord
This is an impressive Eldar Wraithlord.
It was an entry in the UK 2006 Golden Demon Awards.
Towering over its foes, the Wraithlord is controlled by the essence of one of the craftworld’s mightiest warriors. Able to be equipped with a wide variety of Heavy Weapons, Assault Weapons and even a close combat weapon the Wraithlord is an extremely versatile component in the Eldar battleplan.

Warhammer Historical – Egyptian
Wot no commentaries?
One of the nice parts of previous seasons of the new Doctor Who were the associated commentaries available to download (as a podcast). I use to listen to them a day or two after watching the episode and get a real insight into how the episode was made. It certainly explained the effort, skill and work put into the series by the Doctor Who team.
With the new season of Doctor Who, there doesn’t appear to be any commentaries, that’s a pity.

Ork Gun Tractor
At GamesDay 2008 as GW showed off their new plastic modular display boards, one model slightly overshadowed it; Colin Grayson’s HUGE BIG Ork Gun.
Slightly comical in some respects.
This was the rear of the Ork vehicle that was towing it.
See the front of the vehicle.

Flying bases
When I am using GW flying bases I usually like to “flock” the main base and only keep the stand the clear plastic.
For these I used some resin pieces from one of the scenery boxes. I will then use GW sand to flock the base. After that I will paint the base before drybrushing and adding extra scenic features.
Ork Mega Dread
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. There were many of the new Forge World models including the excellent Mega Dread.
I really like this model, which combined with Killa Kans and Dreadnoughts gives the Orks a variety of walkers that you would expect to find in their forces. Mine is well under way and I used it (in an undercoated state) in a recent game.
Chaos Brass Scorpion
On the community feed I came across this excellent Chaos Brass Scorpion.
Well painted and nicely different yet similar to the Forge World painted version.
