This is a photo of the excellent Warmaster Goblin Fanatic Cannon which is a superb little model and rather amusing.
Extra Large Ork Landa
Now here’s a way of getting lots of Orks on the ground…
I was thinking about the Defence Force and about having some aircraft or ships larger than the ones sold by Forgeworld (and GW) and have thought about for some time a large Ork Heavy Bomber converted from the FW Imperial Maurauders.
I also like the Landa concept from Epic Armageddon though I think the model is somewhat too small (hopefully FW will bring out a “bigger” in scale version).
I also noticed the resemblance between the Landa and the Rebel Transport in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
As I purchased many moons ago the AMT/ERTL Hot Base kit which comes with an approximate 1/200th scale model kit of the Rebel Transport, I got thinking. It would make a great Extra Large Landa (or should that be a Big Landa in Ork speak).
I had thought originally about using the Transport as an Imperial Transport, but the more I look at it the more I keep thinking Ork Landa…
Ork Kult of Speed
Ork Kult of Speed racing across my cityfight terrain.
This picture shows my Ork Kult of Speed (lots of conversions in there) racing across my cityfight terrain.
This is how I picture a Kult of Speed should operate, lots of vehicles, lots of speed and no organisation….
Excellent Snowy Terrain
Stormseer from the EpiComms forums has spent quite a few weeks now working on an Adeptus Mechanicus Research Base.
This picture is just one part of this huge creative exercise and shows the satellite dish.
Clear the runway…
I have been thinking about making an Ork Airfield as a terrain board complete with wrecks, flak emplacements, huts, hangars, towers and other bitz and pieces.
Though my terrain is in the main green, I think I may go for a desert feel as this is more akin to how I feel about the Ork Airfield Defence Force.
Now can I find the time to get this part of the project started!

Imperial Guard Trailers (Skorcha Conversion)
The most recent Forgeworld newsletter showed off some new Imperial Guard trailers which are perfect for additional scenery and scenario potential to the battlefield.
I suspect I am not the only Ork player who has thought about using the fuel tanker as the basis for an Ork Skorcha conversion!
Hopefully they will release them in epic scale as well (which will then make them perfect for my Ork Airfield Defence Force).
Wartrakk
A rear shot of my Ork Wartrakk…
I am a fan of the Ork Wartrakk model.
It has a certain charm that I like.
The key with additional models will be to avoid conformity as no Ork vehicle should be like another.
Forgeworld Valkyries
Epic and 40k scales…
The WH40K version of the FW Valkyrie is a really nice model, well detailed and a very nice piece of kit for the Imperial Guard.
From what I have heard about the Epic version, it is just as sweet, and much larger than the Specialist Games model.
FW Epic models are very detailed compared to their metal counterparts. If I do get some Valkyries it will have to be the FW ones.
