On display at GamesDay 2009 was this magnificent Chaos Reaver Titan.

Very impressive model. I know some people feel it should be more chaotic, but considering the Vraks background, this slightly less “corrupted” Reaver make some sense in the fluff.

Another view of this Titan.

A resin master cast of the Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun on display at GamesDay 2007.

I know some people don’t like the humourous aspects of the Orks, personally I do quite like those aspects. The concept behind the Ork Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun of hoovering up snotlings and flinging them across the battlefield is just like so Orky.

The Shokk Attack Gun is a devastating Ork weapon that hurls Snotlings through the warp, sending them mad in the process. When they reappear, they are frenzied creatures, capable of bringing down the toughest of enemies – especially if they materialise inside an enemy’s armour!

It’s probably why I like the Grot Bomb Launcha so much.

Eldar Vyper that was entered into the GamesDay 2006 Golden Demon awards.

I quite like the Vyper model and I sometimes think about making an Eldar raiding force, also using the Eldar Rangers which were released at the same time as Cities of Death.

There were many of the new Forge World models on display at GamesDay 2009 including the excellent Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab.

This Trukk model also includes a folding platform at the rear. This in my opinion is much better than the plastic platform included with the plastic kit. This is the same platform which we see on the long awaited Flakk Wagon.

This model is shown with the new Big Lobba. Now I don’t really like this weapon that much. Not sure what it is, but I know I don’t like it.

This is one of the many Warmaster games which was on show at GW’s Bristol Conflict back in 2004.

When it comes to painting my Ork Trukk, though at the unpainted stage it looks like this….

It isn’t in fact all stuck together.

The cab is separate…

As is the cargo bed. I included the ramps and “rollbars” though for future models I probably won’t. Aiming to have a variety of Ork Trukks, not a production line!

The gunner cupola went together pretty easily, though I kept the Ork gunner separate for painting. I have also kept both him…

…and the driver separate from their respective places in the cab.

The reason is that the cab and cargo bed, will be painted a different colour, whilst the chassis and the crew will be undercoated in black and be drybrushed.

Since finding out about Flames of War, I have been, for some time, thinking about getting into it, but have been putting it off.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the other day in Hoobycraft of all places a starter set for Flames of War that included as well as a pocket set of the full rules, three Sherman Tanks and two Stug G Assault Guns.

Open Fire! has been carefully designed for someone who has never heard of Flames Of War before, or has seen the 256 page rulebook and not known where to start. Open Fire is not a simplified set of the Flames Of War rules, but rather a complete introductory box for a new player!

Really nice idea and perfect for me.

16 page full-colour introduction booklet.

3 detailed American Sherman tank miniatures.
2 detailed German StuG G assault gun miniatures.
3 American dice.
2 German dice.

Time to start painting…

Following on from putting the chassis together with the wheels; further details were added to the engine.
