The Battlefield

In a previous post I talked about a game I had played and promised to get the pictures online soon. Well still have that to do, so in the meantime here is a photo of the battlefield.

The boards are large polystryene tiles (4′ x 1½’ or 120cm x 45cm) which have been covered in GW’s grass mat. I have four of these tiles, and GW’s mat covered all four. Generally though in a game I only use three as my table is not big enough for all four.

The hills are purchased and I got them from a company whose name I can’t recall, whilst the trees are K&M and the lichen is from a model railway shop. In the middle you can see my Looted Ork Rhino which I used as terrain in this game.

It was a typical game for me with my Orks versus Simon’s Imperial Guard, though different in another way as my force was very mechanised and his was very much infantry based with a Hellhound and a Medusa. Okay to call a Squiggoth mechanised is probably going a little too far, but I did have Wartrakks, Trukks, Killa Kanz, Dethkoptaz, a Gunwagon and a flying Ork Fighter-Bomma as well as the Squiggoth.

This Space Wolves army includes virtually (if not all) the Space Marine models and conversions from Forge World as well as all the plastic and metal models from Citadel.

It was on display at both GamesDay 2006 and GamesDay 2007.

More photographs of this army. Also have a look at our Rhino gallery.

Ork Looted Rhino Gunner

I have started work on an Ork Gunner for my Looted Rhino. I have used a resin Twin Big Shoota from Forge World. A plastic Ork body and an Imperial turret ring.

Here is how it is looking with the gunner. Not sure what I am going to do with the other hatch space.

I am quite pleased with how the model is looking, I still need to do a lot to the paint job, but conversion wise I like the result so far.

Forgeworld Command Rhino

This is the Forgeworld Command Rhino. This model is from the Golden Demon Display Cabinets at GamesDay 2005.

Imperial Fists Damocles Command Rhino

It won the Forgeworld prize in the Golden Demons. The radar dish actually randomly rotated.

The painter did a lovely paint job. Inside were flashing lights, you can see a red LED in the following photograph.

In my opinion this should have won the Gold Golden Demon for Warhammer 40K vehicles.

Just look at the detail and superb paint job. Certainly an inspiration for me.
