The Battle for Ceres City

This was a Legions Imperialis Diorama at Warhammer World. I took some more photographs of the diorama on my last visit to there.

Ceres City changed hands nine times during the campaign for control of the Delta-Garmon system, and the diorama captures the Blood Angels and the Titans of Legio Solaria waging war against the Iron Warriors and Legio Fureans.

Reflecting on the Ruined Factorum models

I got a number of the Ruined Factorum sprues, when they were included with copies of. Warhammer 40000 Imperium. Most of the versions of the ruins were partially completed. I think I will need to get these finished.

Solar Auxilia Shadowsword

The Shadowsword is the sister tank to the Baneblade, a super-heavy vehicle employed by Solar Auxilia cohorts to engage and destroy enemy macro-engines with its volcano cannon. The same chassis has also been adapted to mount different primary weapons suited to their own modes of destruction, like the bunker-busting Stormsword siege cannon or the versatile plasma blastgun of the Stormblade.

The Doom of Magma City

A Legions Imperialis diorama from Warhammer World.

Magma City was one of the last Loyalist strongholds on Mars, a bastion of high technology defended by the survivors of the Death of Innocence. High-Adept Koriel Zeth, sovereign of Magma City, fought a desperate defence against overwhelming odds, battling Traitor titans and the warped creations of the Dark Mechanicum. Rather than surrender, Zeth chose to trigger a cataclysm which flooded the city in lava, destroying Loyalist and Traitor alike.

Thinking about that 15mm German Armoured Train

After much consideration I did in the end get a German Armoured Train for Flames of War. Though they were not used on the Western Front (as far as I am aware) it is my intention to use it against British (and American) tanks. Then again I might just get in a few Soviet tanks for a quick game.

Well that plan which I decided I would do, was back in 2013, and then like too many projects, it got shelved and put in that pile of shame, that I guess quite a few of us have.

There was another kit I liked, which I didn’t get, which was the Tank Hunter Car.

I have been thinking about getting the models out again and getting them painted. I think what may have delayed the model was the fact that the completed models on the Battlefront website (at the time) were painted using an airbrush. 

They don’t sell them on the Battlefront website any more, and they seem to sell on eBay, so another option would be to sell them and then buy some different resin models to add to that pile of shame. Decisions, decisions.
