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.

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.

Imperial Armoured Basilisk from a recent game.
Here is an Imperial Armoured Basilisk from Simon’s collection.
It is a Forgeworld conversion kit.
I think he has done a really nice paint job on it and has also done a really nice detailed interior.
I much prefer this version to the original plastic kit version, it looks more “authentic” and “real”, well as authentic as a science fiction model can look “real”.
From a gaming perspective, it is quite a mean big beasty with a very long range.
This is another Forgeworld Basilisk.
As you can see they have added a tank commander. One of the advantages of a six mega-pixel camera is the ability to zoom into a shot to see the detail. Click the above image to see a larger version.
This is a wonderfully detailed and well-painted model and you can see why a lot of people play Imperial Guard.
This is a model of the Imperial Guard Basilisk Armageddon Pattern, from the collection of my friend Simon.
It is an Imperial Guard Basilisk Armageddon Pattern with extra stowage and a muzzle brake. It has a very detailed and well painted interior.
Simon took a range of photographs of the painting process and I hope to have a workbench feature on this model in the near future.
