Welcome to Felix's Gaming Pages Blog

After running my gaming blog for many years using iBlog I have decided to move over to WordPress. I have been using WordPress for my new(ish) food blog and have been impressed with the ease of use and the “interoperability” with the Web 2.0 world.
I suspect though the main reason for moving over is a current problem I have with iBlog, in that I have had to reset the blog and republishing was taking days, and in the end I gave up waiting …
I am hoping though that I can “import” my previous blog entries, and I certainly won’t be deleting the old blog so those entries will remain online.

Welcome (again) to Felix’s Gaming Pages Blog

After running my gaming blog for many years using iBlog I have decided to move over to WordPress. I have been using WordPress for my new(ish) food blog and have been impressed with the ease of use and the “interoperability” with the Web 2.0 world.

I suspect though the main reason for moving over is a current problem I have with iBlog, in that I have had to reset the blog and republishing was taking days, and in the end I gave up waiting …

I am hoping though that I can “import” my previous blog entries, and I certainly won’t be deleting the old blog so those entries will remain online.

Ultramarines Dreadnoughts

Some very nice Ultramarines Dreadnoughts on display at Warhammer World.

To the right of this pic (cropped as it was blurred, but you can see the shoulder) was the GW Venerable Dreadnought, which compared to the really nice Forgeworld models is horrible. It even looks like extra metal parts added to the standard Dreadnought.

So if you are in the market for a Venerable Dreadnought, spend the extra money and get yourself a really nice resin version from Forgeworld.

GamesDay 2007 Limited Edition

I have always felt that if I pay £25 for a ticket into GamesDay I should get at least one miniature free.

Back in the good old days I do remember getting a goody bag, one which sticks in my mind contained a free Kroot sprue.

Now I know I could queue for (what seems like an age) and try one of the modelling stands and get some free plastic miniatures, but this year the queues were horrendous, last year I made a tree stand.

Every year (for a fair few years now) Games Workshop have released a limited edition Games Day miniature which is an additional cost to the price of the ticket.

By the way does it count as a limited edition if you can buy last years limited edition at this year’s show at a discount!

This year’s limited edition was an orc and a goblin, and yes I did buy it.

GamesDay 2007 Limited Edition Orc

I am intending to use it with my feral orks, looks like a nice model.

Death Korps of Krieg Gorgon

Death Korps of Krieg Gorgon during the Siege of Vraks.

Death Korps of Krieg Gorgon

The Imperial Guard use the Gorgon for heavy assaults. It is designed for breaching fortified lines and entrenchments, literally smashing its way through opposing defences to unleash its cargo of troops into the heart of the enemy position.

Grot with Toolbox

Grot with Toolbox, a nice little model, not available much longer…

As well as the Ork Stormboyz Nob and Grot Oiler which I got at Warhammer World last month, I also got a Grot with Toolbox which is from the collectors range.

As you may now already GW are changing their mail order procedures and ranges which means that these older collectors’ models may no longer be available in the future.

Get them now while you can, this is one of my favourite models from that range.
