Super Heavy tank company

Excellent Exodus Wars tanks (imperial guard super heavy proxies) - count as baneblades most likely.

The question is - do i base them or not? answers on a postcard to the usual address!

Imperial Guard Mechanised Infantry company

First completed company in desert camo scheme. 7 chimera transports and 13 infantry bases to a company. Formation is based upon Steel Legion (NetEA) army list. 


Close up view of chimera transports. Next up is arty and armour support.

Undead test pieces


Undead army test pieces have been completed. I am happy with the final look but no so convinced about the bases. More work to be done yet.

Roleplaying - a blast from the past


Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying (WHFRP) - responsible for many lost hours during my teens. Enemy Within campaign was excellent but the group of friends always made the game.

15mm sci fi - when epic tanks are not big enough


A GZG 15mm light tank, I managed to pick up 2 more of these at the recent Milton Keynes wargaming show cheap so a platoon can be made. We use PAR wars 15mm rules at the moment.


Alternate view with a lazerburn imperial guard mini. I really think 15mm is the future for medium scale sci fi wargaming. GZG (ground zero games) has an excellent range of figures and vehicles but there are many suppliers around with fantastic mini's.

Must set up a proper photo booth :)


small scale dwarf steam tank

Pure awesome model from UK supplier Kalistra. Next project is Undead army for PAR WARS 10mm fantasy. Figures have been ordered - will post on arrival

Update: APC test model



Test chimera for IG armoured company. I am not convinced about colour scheme yet.

Epic 40K - imperial guard


A test stand for a desert camo theme imperial guard regiment. note to self must improve camera skills.
still working on a decent vehicle colour scheme and camo pattern. Although troop transports have been sourced!

Test stand in ruins. This scenary is made using Linka which is excellent for ruins.
