Warhammer 40,000 Vehicle – Golden Demon 2017

Posted on June 7, 2017 by Ben Jackson

The Golden Demon 2017 Warhammer 40,000 Vehicle categories appeared to be one of the most competitive this year. There were unsurprising lots of Space Marine Dreadnoughts. There were no less than five Leviathan pattern Siege Dreadnoughts. The imperial knights didn’t make as strong a showing this year.

Warhammer 40,000 Squad – Golden Demon 2017

Posted on June 5, 2017 by Ben Jackson

The Golden Demon Warhammer 40,000 Squad entry was very difficult to get near at Warhammer Fest. I managed to get most of these photos later in the day when the area around the cabinets had calmed down.

Classic Ultrmarines and Tyranids at Warhammer World

Posted on March 5, 2017 by Ben Jackson

This collection of modern and classics Ultramarines and Tyranids was displayed in a special exhibit at Warhammer World in March 2016.

I believe these models belong to Garfy one of the painters who blogs on tale of four painters. There is a post on his tyranid attack box set here. It’s very possible GW will release this set again in the future, with updated models. I’m sure it would be very popular if they did.

Ultramarines

The first ever Ultramarine Captian model

First company veterans

The Limited release Blood Angel Space Hulk terminators set converted in to Ultramarines

The first plastic space marine scouts. The sergeants had a better armour save than the scouts back in those days.

These are the first plastic Terminators GW made. They are very hard to paint well as the detail is very shallow. This is probably the finest paint job I have ever seen on these models.

Tyranids

This is a very reto Hive Fleet paint scheme. Comments welcomed if you know what it is called.

Broodlord accompanied by some old hormaguants and Tyrant Guard

Classic second edition style flying Hive Tyrant

The original plastic Geanstealer Hybrid models and metal ripper swarm

Tau Display

March 2016 was also the fist chance I had to photo the Tau vs Admech display at Warhammer World, which is still on display. If you haven’t had the chance to make it to Warhammer World I would strongly encourage you to do so. I try to make it there are least once a year.

The Death of a Phantom

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Ben Jackson

For two years Captain Ventis had been plotting revenge on the Eldar Titan less affectionately known as Bone Walker; within the Fourth Company. New intelligence had suggested the Eldar Titan was involved in a cleansing mission with another unknown allied force. Not willing to let week intelligence get in the way of his honour Vetris made request to Malgias Calgar forassistance with removing the xzeno war machine.

Turn One

The forces of Ultramar oblitorated the Phantom Titan during the 1st turn. This was largely down to a single squad of Sternguard equiped with combi meltas, which arrived via drop pod. Although the Second and Ninth Companies also played a large roll in the demise of the Titan.

Turn Two
The terminators of the 1st company suffered heavy loses. In true Christmas Apocalyse style this resulted in the Eldar and Grey Knights winnig the game on Victory points, a convincingly 9-3 with a turn in hand. The morrle victory was clearly with the Ultramarines though, having oblitorated both the Phamton Titan and a Baneblade.

The Ultramarine chapter has now been declared trators to the Imperium due to firing upon Grey Knights. A small price to pay for redeeming their honour.
