WIP - Ogryn squad

Here are some shots of the first member of an Ogryn squad I am making. I'm going to convert the members of the squad using plastic Ogre Kingdoms models from Warhammer Fantasy. This one has a variety of 40k Ork bits added, plus a lot of greenstuff and plasticard.

WIP - Imperial Guard Heavy mob

Here is an album of pics of my latest project. A Leman Russ with detachable sponsons. The weapon mounts are also magnetised so it is fully customizable accoring to scenario and points limit.

Fun and Games at Warhammer World

Last weekend saw my team mate Ben and myself spending the weekend in Nottingham at Warhammer World to compete in a 40k doubles tournament. 7 games over the course of 2 days and a great deal of fun. Thanks to Neil and Matt, Paul and David, Chris the ref, Steve and Pete (twice), Lawrence and Paul and Alex and David for being great opponents and making the weekend for us.

The weekend began with a sound thrashing at the hands of Neil and Matt's Eldar/Tau army. Over the next 6 games our little Imperial Guard expeditionary force gradually got its eye in. In practise this meant we lost by an ever decreasing margin, then started drawing games and finally won our last game by far more points than we could have hoped for (commiserations to Alex and David, who had some very bad luck at a couple of crucial moments).

This was the first tournament I'd ever entered and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. We're already planning our next competition outting and I can heartily recommend the experience to anyone who thinks it sounds like a good day out.
