The buildings are from Steve Barber Models.

This really nice model of a Dwarf Steam Wagon is from Old Glory. It is armed with a large cannon, similar to the ones you would find on sailing ships of the line.
I originally purchased it to use within some Flintloque games.
As it is an all metal model, it is very heavy and weighty on the tabletop.
Here are a couple of very old Space Dwarfs, which were from the very early days of Warhammer 40000.
There is a commander with power fist and one dwarf with a heavy bolter. These dwarves were in many ways like the Imperial Guard of that era but with shorter legs. As a result they weren’t as popular with gamers. They did evolve a little into the biker gangs (which I didn’t like) and then were unsummarily deleted from the range by Games Workshop.

Rumours abound that they are coming back… one day perhaps…
As I posted earlier I have one of the Old Glory Dwarf Steamwagons. Here are some photographs of the crew.
I am quite pleased with how these turned out.

Probably my favourite display game at GamesDay 2008 was the Dwarf City that was under attack by a sea borne Orc and Goblin army. The scenery was beautifully constructed, some amazing Venetian inspired buildings and bridges.
In previous blog posts (here, here, here and here) I posted some photographs of the Dwarf buildings. In this posting there are some photographs of the Orc sea vessels that were attacking the city.
The Orc boats were wooden attack boats that looked like the Orcs had just thrown them together.
There were many vessels that had landing craft abilities.
In the background of this photo, you can see a Dwarf Monitor steaming out to defend the city from attack. The Orc boat in the foreground has siege engines lashed to the deck.
