I've got a new flyer, he took a while to build and paint as other things kept getting in the way, I've had it for about three months, usually enough time to build and paint a model.  Forge World models aren't always the easiest things to build and this was no exception! I've always used Warlord Games superglue and usually it's been fine however this time the bloody thing just wouldn't stay together, I ended up pinning the large wings to keep them on, the tail fin is a bit thin for that though, it fell off twice during painting then when I thought I'd finished and started on the transfers it fell off again- not a good day that one. I think it came out well in the end. It's got some good game rules too, I think I should be able to take my mates' Fire Raptor out before he realises how good my little Interceptor really is- hopefully!!

The transfers are the Forge World set, they may be expensive but they sure do bring out the best in any model. I've got some Renegade Militia on the painting table at the moment, hopefully they won't take as long to complete as this feller.

This is my most recent acquisition, a Siccaran battle tank, great stats and weapons, I saw it on Heresy Trading, on Face Book- a great site that specialises in selling and swopping Forge World gear, the name gives it away really! I saw this come up as I was browsing through and within 16 minutes had contacted the seller and paid through paypal, not only is it painted in Word Bearers colours it was only £60.00, the bare model is £76.00 from Forge World so I think I got a bargain, I can't recommend the site highly enough. I haven't used it yet so I'm not expecting great things in it's first battle- new model syndrome is bound to kick in and see it blown up on turn one.

This ostentatious little guy is a Diabolist, these are characters unique to Word Bearers that open up buffs to other units in the Legion, these are rolled for and as with Chaos nothing is certain. He's a Daemon and Zealot so worth killing off if you can. The model is Fine Cast and was a bitch to put together, the Fine Cast is so weak it breaks at the slightest touch and as I've often been described as a clumsy twat I managed to break him at least a couple of times, but in the end I think he's come out alright.

This is my Anvillus pattern Dreadclaw drop pod, it's a decent sized model and with it's claws it can be placed almost anywhere on the table. It not only lands and disgorges it's payload, it can then fly off and bathe the loyalist scum with a cleansing fire storm- nice! It's also an assault vehicle which means it can fly about and the Gal Vorbak inside can burst forth and do what they do best- kill, maim and burn. I've given the Gal Vorbak a couple of melta guns to knock off a few hull points of vehicles before the power fists charge in and finish them off. I've painted it grey as it's and old vehicle, kept in service after the Legion turned to chaos and changed to red, it also enables me to field it as a loyalist transport that didn't support Lorgar during the Heresy.

 The Gal Vorbak were a pleasure to paint, plenty of detail and recesses to hold the washes. They're bigger than normal marines and with my eye sight getting worse I enjoyed being able to focus on what I was doing.

 Melta gun for a bit of punch at close quarters.
