At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games. Many games featured the new buildings for Cities of Death.

Epic Orks
Back in 2004 at the UK GamesDay, Forge World were showing off some new Epic miniatures, an Ork Battlewagon and a Gargantuan Squiggoth.
At this point lots of new Epic Ork stuff was coming out from Forge World and we expected to see lots and lots…
Little did we know that five years later, it would be 40K Ork stuff that would see the light of day and (Ork aircraft excepted) we would see virtually no new Epic Ork vehicles.
Will Epic rise again? Probably not, which is a pity.
Space Santa
Happy Christmas to all our readers.
This is one of the original Citadel Limited Editions from the 1980s.
Ork Deff Dread
Nice surprise from Games Workshop this morning, sneak peeks of new models including this interesting and exciting Ork Deff Dread.
Wonder what it looks like in its entirety?

Mek Boss Buzzgob
From the new Forge World newsletter, Mek Boss Buzzgob is one of the new special characters from the forthcoming Imperial Armour Volume 8.
As well as the Mek Boss you also get two characterful Grot helpers.
Buzzgob is available for pre-order and will be available from the 25th January 2010.
Imperial Armour Apocalypse II arrived…
Yay. Well done Forge World, my copy of Imperial Armour Apocalypse II arrived this afternoon via UPS.
It’s another excellent product from Forge World, superb production quality. Full of great pictures and writing.
Imperial Armour Apocalypse II is a 112 page, full-colour hardback which provides comprehensive and updated descriptions, background and rules for using all of Forge World’s recent models in your games of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse.
The book is packed with over fifty new Apocalypse datasheets accompanied by lavish photographs, ranging from legendary units like the mighty Reaver Battle Titan to the Daemon Lord Aetaos’rau’keres -Tzeentch’s Slayer of Souls. Included are new Forge World units such as the advanced Tau XV-9 Close Support Armour and the Lucius Pattern Dreadnought Drop Pod, new Apocalypse battle formations such as the savage Ork Mega-Rippa Krew and the lethal Eldar Death Web, and a few updated and unpublished datasheets as well. Also featured are an updated Apocalypse rules appendix, a unit index and some new optional Apocalypse rules and five new missions to play!
Was surprised to see in the Ork rules that Gunwagons can use the new Big Trakk rules.
It is available to order.
Warmaster High Elves
Warmaster is one of those games which I really like, but actually never do very much with in terms of modelling, painting or gaming! Maybe it’s time to do something about it in 2010!
This is one of the many Warmaster games which was on show at GamesDay 2001. These are High Elves.
Check out the Warmaster section on the main website.
Grey Knight Terminator with Psycannon
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.
Workbench feature on the Grey Knight Terminator with Psycannon.
Ork Big Trakk
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 Ork Big Trakk. A turbine powered Ork tracked vehicle with twin Big Shootas.
I really like this model, which combined with Trukks and Halftrakks gives the Orks a variety of vehicles that you would expect to find in their forces.
