Though I am growing to like the new plastic Deffkoptaz, I still prefer the metal ones. This is my first one as it flies across the battlefield.

I even modelled them with bombz, before they were included in the rules in the new codex. That’s a Steve Barber Town Hall in the background.

The greatest threat to the Imperium of Man is, and has always been, the followers of Chaos and the foul daemons of the Warp. The Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus, the Daemonhunters, are at war with forces too terrible to comprehend and, together with the holy warriors of the Grey Knights, they must take the light of the Emperor into the darkness. The threat of the daemonic is so great that only these heroic warriors have the necessary skills and knowledge to stand against such diabolical foes.
I am slowly building up my Grey Knights army.
I purchased the new Space Marine Librarian in Terminator armour as I really do like the model and for me will certainly fit into my Grey Knights army with all the books and purity seals. Obviously it is quite expensive for a single model, but then when has Games Workshop ever made “cheap” models.
Nice model and nice that all the weapon options are included. The model comprises three castings, once I had put these together I gave the model a black undercoat.

A very ornate model, will be fun to paint.

Before the plastic Shadowsword was released this year, Forge World had their resin version.
Back at GamesDay 2001 I remember being very impressed with the model and thinking if I only had the money…

Of course I don’t play Imperial Guard so why would I have one…

A Dwarf Lord from the display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.

When battle is joined it is the Lords and Thanes, with their finely crafted armour and rune-inscribed weapons who seek out the enemy’s most powerful combatants, matching bestial fury or dark magic with courage, honour and honest steel.

This my Ork army advancing across the battlefield.

The scenery tiles are “homemade” using blocks of 4′ x 1½’ polystryene which I covered in the (original) Games Workshop gaming grass mat. I have four of these blocks, as the 6′ x 4′ grass mat covered them easily.
The hills are from a company I can’t remember and find at the moment!
Trees are model railway trees.

There were some great new models at the Forge World Open Day 2009.
Will Hayes has been working on some ideas for Ork Trukks and additional weapons and these looked really nice and would add variety to any Ork army which uses Trukks.
This was his Ork Gun Trukk or should that be Half-Trukk? Note the bigger engine. The room for only a single driver. Oh and the big lobba in the back of the Trukk.

See more pictures of these concept Trukks.

Fallen Imperial Statue on display cabinets at GamesDay 2007.

I really like this and still wonder why a resin version wasn’t made available either by GW or Forge World.
Why?
