Vostroyan Chimera
Finished my Grey Knights (eventually)
After quite a long time I have finally finished the first of my Grey Knights.
These were started a few years ago and I never really got around to spending huge amounts of time on them, as other projects always seemed to take over.
I am quite pleased with them and I am using them as the basis for my other Grey Knights.
I am using desert basing to fit in with my desert terrain.
You can see how I painted these Grey Knights in the full workbench feature on them.
There is a datasheet for the Ork Submersible
Back on the 1st Jan I mentioned that there were a lot of rumours flying about the web about a possible Apocalypse Datasheet for an Ork Submersible.
Well it’s looking like the rumours are true. I have now seen the datasheet for the submersible so soon you will be able to use models like this one which was used at GamesDay 2007.
The other Ork datasheets include a huge flying mine layer, a horde (100+) Orks, a trukk force and a Pulsa Rokkit.
I just wish that GW published their datasheets in colour (as Forge World did).
Basecoating the Wartrakk
Having undercoated my Ork Wartrakk. I gave the non-metal parts (and the front tyre) a base coat of Desert Yellow.
Next stage will be a wash to accentuate the detail.
Warhound Titan

Grey Knights Land Speeder Crew
Having finished a lot of my Grey Knights Land Speeder, I started working on the crew.
I started with a black basecoat and then gave the armour a basecoat of Boltgun Metal.
Next stage will be highlights and details.
Vostroyan Basilisk
Vostroyan Basilisk on display at Warhammer World.
I think that Games Workshop missed the target with the Vostroyans, they had an opportunity to make something as good as Forge World’s Death Korps and I believe that they missed the boat. The Vostroyans are not quite right in my opinion, though I know others like them.
Land Raider Crusader
Space Wolves Land Raider Crusader.
This Space Wolves army includes virtually (if not all) the Space Marine models and conversions from Forge World as well as all the plastic and metal models from Citadel.
It was on display at both GamesDay 2006 and GamesDay 2007.
More photographs of this army. Also have a look at our Land Raider and Land Raider Crusader galleries.
Drybrushing the Ork Gunwagon
Having given the Ork Gunwagon a basecoat of Tausept Ochre I have given the other parts of the model a drybrush of Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
This is another view.
Next stage will be a wash.
Apocalypse
I have finally got my copy of the Apocalypse rulebook. I was kind of expecting that Santa would be bringing me a copy, however Santa saw that I had received in the post the Forge World Apocalypse book and assumed (wrongly) that I had gone out and bought it myself!
So there I was with the Forge World book and no actual Apocalypse book, so I went out in the sales and bought a copy (and alas it wasn’t reduced).
I am kind of disappointed with it, I don’t know maybe I was expecting more. It’s a pity there aren’t more colour pictures, I guess I was spoiled by the Forge World version which at £20 is £10 cheaper and seems to have a lot more colour in it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the big four page spreads, the Ork spread of islands is fantastic and very inspiring. I also like the armoured train and termite which are shown.
Maybe I was expecting more from the rules, maybe I wanted more datasheets for my Orks.
So far I have not had a game of Apocalypse but will do so at some point in the future, a nice big game against Simon, he has Imperial Guard (lots of tanks and guns) and Space Marines, whilst I will be using my Orks and Inquisitorial forces, now there’s an alliance which will take some justifying…
