After accidentally dropping my Ork Stormboyz Nob I put him back together again.
Now I just need to start painting him to match my Stormboyz mob.

Imperial Guard Baneblade
Here is another photograph of Simon’s BaneBlade, it is very BIG! He’s done a really nice job on it and it looks very impressive on the battlefield.

Ork Killa Kan III
This is the third of my trio of Ork Killa Kans.
Originally I had planned to have a colour body, so the main body of the Killa Kan had a white undercoat as seen in the workbench feature.
Well as I started to paint it I knew that it wasn’t going to work and it wouldn’t look right. Maybe okay if it was a single Killa Kan, but in my squadron of three it was going to look odd. So I stopped painting the colour, let it dry and then went over the area with Chaos Black before drybrushing it.
This stage was to add some more detailing including painting the Ork glyphs.
I have blogged about the base previously.

Ork Stompa Photos
My local Games Workshop has the new Ork Stompa on display in their window and I managed to get a couple of photographs of it.
It is one BIG model, much bigger than the BaneBlade.
It certainly looks the part and (as with most models) looks a lot better in the flesh than in the photographs.
They were taking pre-orders so I bought some plastic gretchin!
On the counter, not finished or painted was the new Stormlord which did look very mean and nasty, well it would with twin linked 15 dice Vulcan Mega Bolter!
Deploy the artillery
A battery of Imperial Guard Basilisk Artillery deploy ready to deliver an Imperial blow to the enemies of the Imperium. In the background can be seen an Imperial statue of a Space Marine.
The models are from the Epic 40000 era and are very well detailed.
From Simon’s collection. More photographs of Epic Imperial Guard.

Gallipoli
With Warhammer Historical available, GamesDay 2008 wasn’t just Fantasy and 40K, in Hall 1 there were a fair few historical wargames on show using the various Warhammer Historical rules. This is nothing new, last year we saw was Aly Morrison and Dave Andrews’ excellent World War One demonstration game.
Demonstrating The Great War rules were two games one set in Gallipoli and one in 1914.
Very nice terrain and some great models.
You can see many more pictures of the historical wargaming on my website.
To see more pictures from GamesDay 2008 have a look at my GamesDay 2008 Gallery.
Baneblade for an Imperial Commissar
So you’re an Imperial Commissar and you need a personal transport.
No way are you going to be happy with a Chimera or a Leman Russ, no you need the biggest and the best, you want a Baneblade super heavy tank.
This very nice Baneblade modified for an Imperial Commissar was on display at GamesDay 2007.

Urban Basing Kit
There are some gaming things I buy which I later think, why on earth did I buy that! Then there are gaming things I buy which I now wish I had bought at least five times rather than just the once!
One of those things is the Urban Basing Kit which was released as part of Cities of Death. The box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings. It was a limited edition and though since then Games Workshop have released a Warhammer 40k Basing Kit, personally I don’t think it is as good as the original urban basing kit.
I would have bought five, but they were very difficult to get hold of, and when I did find them, the shop only had one left…
I have used the kit with various models, but for a workbench feature on my website I have been photographing a 60mm and a 40mm base. Having added some resin and slate, I added modelling sand to change and vary the texture of the base.
The 60mm base I am intending to use with an Ork Killa Kan.

Warhammer Fantasy Farm
This farm was part of a beautiful Warhammer Fantasy demonstration games which was displayed at GamesDay 2008 in the UK.
Very nicely painted and really works well together, made for an impressive table for gaming.
