An Ork Weird Boy Battlewagon from the display cabinets at GamesDay 2009.
Weird Boy Battlewagon
Washing the Moonscape
Having drybrushed with Tauspet Ochre, I noticed that there were some areas which I had missed with the base coat. So I decided to give the craters a wash of Devlan Mud wash. However as you can see from this close up it didn’t work.
So I have decided to do some touching up to fix this. However apart from this I was quite pleased with the wash effect in toning down the drybrushing, though I am going to drybrush a little more.
Armageddon Pattern Basilisk
An Armageddon Pattern Basilisk from Simon’s collection. This is the interior view with the detail inside.
Side view.
This picture (as seen before) shows it as it moves forward through the ruins of an Imperial city.
This is the Forge World kit, it comes with resin and plastic parts.
Doctor Who in Utah
Though the Doctor has been to many various planets and places, he has never actually been to America. Even though in an episode he *may* appear to be in the USA, it was probably filmed in Cardiff or a quarry in Essex!
Well that is about to change, as according to BBC News, the new series (sixth) will open with a two part story set in the US and has scene in the Utah Desert.
Scenes will be filmed in the Utah desert for a story set in the late ’60s in which the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves on a secret summons to the Oval Office.
The story also has River Song in it.
Golden Demon Killa Kans
These converted Killa Kans were entered into the GamesDay 2007 Golden Demon awards.
Undercoating the turret
Having masked the turret I gave it a spray with black undercoat.
Removing the masking tape shows that only those parts I wanted black are black.
Next stage will be to mask the black areas and spray a white undercoat.
Warlord Titan
A wonderfully huge Warlord Titan part of a demonstration game at GamesDay 2008.
I don’t recall seeing many of this kind of game at GamesDay 2010, which was a pity.
Imperial Guard Chimera
An Imperial Guard Chimera that was in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2009.
Masking the turret
I have been thinking about using the turrets from the Ork Battlewagon on my Ork Looted Rhino.
I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a white undercoat for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown.
I decided that as I was using this on the Looted Rhino that I could get away with using an Imperial turret hatch and so I could use one of the Ork turret hatches (or mini turret) on another Ork vehicle.
Though the photograph shows the roof of the turret on the model, that is just to show how it will look and wasn’t stuck on at this time.
The Fortress of Redemption
This is The Fortress of Redemption on display in Warhammer World.
The Fortress of Redemption is an indomitable fortress, a towering bulwark against the ravages of planetary invasion. First used by the Dark Angels of the Adeptus Astartes, these unyielding fortresses have since been used by every military force in the Imperium of Man, and have proved invaluable in the war against disorder. A nigh on unassailable stronghold, the Fortress of Redemption bristles with weaponry, a missile silo and two bunker annexes.
This is quite a “constrained” piece of scenery in that it is very specific terrain piece that has, in my opinion, little use outside a Dark Angels army. If this had been a non-specific Space Marine chapter fortress I am sure I would have bought one, as I suspect many others would as well. Having said that I do like the fact that Games Workshop as well as producing non-specific terrain also makes specific terrain.
