From the current FW newsletter: “Our big news is that Imperial Armour Volume Seven, the Siege of Vraks Part 3, the final part of our epic campaign series is now finished and off to the printers! Look out for a Newsletter soon with a full preview and date of release as the story of the climatic conclusion to the Vraks conflict is finally revealed.”
Also the renegade heretics on Vraks have been equipped with heavy stubbers, also from the newsletter: “The Renegade Heavy Stubber Team, designed by Mark Bedford, is a fantastically characterful addition to our Chaos Militia range. The two man team which you can see Here, have been posed in a mobile, aggressive style, well suited to guerrilla warfare and urban combat with their heavy stubber braced above them for firing.”

Forgeworld have updated their preorder section with new Demon targets for the Death Korps to kill on Vraks, here is the link to the preorder section of the FW website. The Emperor’s work will be done … I just hope He provides some bigger guns and Imperial Armour 7 includes the Orders from the new IG codex 
Update: Bell of Lost Souls have an article on their site on Forgeworld’s last Open Day, including pictures of the new models and some WIP pieces, here.

I managed to get some work done on a few tank models and updated the gallery with them. I basically redid the paintjob on the Stormlord which I was not too happy with and started to work on the Bandeblade I mentioned earlier as well as another FW Leman Russ. The base coats are done, as are some minor light effects which you may or may not see on the pictures (they are there ). What’s missing is the weathering as well as the details.

I’ve been meaning to write something on the new codex before but have only now gotten around to actually doing it. When the packages of the new IG material went out to traders I was fortunate enough to have one of them sell me the new IG codex the day he received it one month ahead of the official release and I’ve been doing a bit of reading in it. Some interesting stuff is also in the current White Dwarf, like the Orders officers can issue to troops. Very interesting this. Apparently a DKoK Platoon consisting of six Infantry squads should be able to fire 180 shots within 12 inch or 120 shots within 24 inch when not moving if given the correct order. So, what exactly is a Tyranids threat, sheer mass? Not anymore. I also like the possibilty of choosing up to three Leman Russ tanks as a single support pick. Then there’s the one shot Deathstrike (I’m assuming this is the english name, I only have the German Codex), a 960 inch range weapon delivering an absolutely lethal area attack, quite a few new character models, the Hydra, the Valkyre and some new Psykers. Unfortunately GW have not really worked on the actual IG minis. They still look either bland and boring or like some stereotype Rambo copy. Then again, I’m spoiled by Forgeworld minis. Still, this has the feel of a very interesting Codex to it, something like the mortal version of the ‘new’ Space Marine Codex with very interesting twists. Personally I’m just glad that the 95th is going to be a pleasure to play in regular games as well as Apocalypse games from now on. Go and buy it.

I had yet another birthday two weekends ago and my girlfriend, some dear friends of mine and, believe it or not, my 80 year old grandmother petitioned the Departmento Munitorum to query the Emperor’s Tarot for His devine will. And, believe it or not, ‘The Emperor Has Decreed That Your Army Is Sanctioned To Field The Baneblade’, at least so it says on the Forgeworld certificate, prooving yet again that the Emperor truely does protect His Faithful.
So the 95th now has its first Lucius pattern Baneblade. Amazing model, the GW one looks so puny comparred to it. I finished building it this sunday after buying a special japanese saw to do the cutting, and I will try to take some pictures of the model tomorrow if the weather holds and add it to the WOI gallery.
So my thanks again to everyone who pitched in to get me this great tank, it is truely appreciated.

I took a little time off painting the 95th due to a nice and very pleasurable revival of Warmachine and Hordes at our local gamestore. I lost one, won two, and finished or worked on a few of my Legion of Everblight models for those battles. If you are interested in those we have a second gallery here with some WM/Hordes as well as GW minis for your viewing pleasure or grief Anyway, Turin and I also had an Apocalypse battle this saturday against two of the locals and with Imperial Armour 7/Vraks Part III dropping the Ordo Malleus onto Vraks I wanted to paint my Grey Knight Terminators I have had sitting on a shelf for far too long to support the 95th as well as for that Apocalypse game. They aren’t quite finished yet but coming along great. Next to those Grey Knights I also needed another 30 Ultramarine Space Marines for the Apocalypse game which I at least got around to priming blue and then brushing the weapons in boltgun metal. Afterwards I finally went back the the 95th and decided that the WOI Lemand Russ was actually done after doing the Aquilla. I have been looking at it for a couple of weeks now and any further work on it would, IMHO, ruin it. It’s bleak and used look is what I picture a Death Korps piece of equipment to look after seeing some action. I also took a few new pictures of the Leman Russ, this time they do the finished tank more justice than the ones I took previously. Finally starting to figure out how to photograph these minis properly. I also finished the respirators of the guardsmen as well as some missing details, added a bit here and there and am now quite content with the way they look so I’m calling them done as well. The scheme I have now settled on should allow me to do the other 100 or so remaining guardsmen with reasonable effort and an aceptable timeframe. Some pictures of those guardsmen as well as their command staff, Kommissars and a Colonel are also in the gallery.

As I promised, here are the first pictures of the 13th Artillery Regiment. Enjoy!
Death Korps of Krieg, 13th Regiment, Commissar Heinrich
Commissar Heinrich received the traditional colour scheme of all Imperial commissars, black, which I highlighted with mixes of Codex Grey and Fortress Grey to give his leather coat a worn and used look. The only coloured piece, apart from the gold on his armour, is the sash which received the regimental colours of the 13th: Red and white.
Death Korps of Krieg, 13th Regiment, Engineers with Molelauncher
I basically gave the engineers a grey undercoat and washed several times with Thrakan Green to create some kind of rough, worn cloth. The helmets are black with a little Boltgun brush, gloves and mask are supposed to look like pale leather. On the backpack of the shooting engineer I made the display look like there was a radar on it, in order to help the second engineer in piloting the mole and destroy the enemy vehicle. And finally I added some stones and barbed wire to the base to make it look like a real battlefield.
