White Dwarf battlefields; gaming with the White Dwarf; Orks
Adam Troke has added two new articles to the Astronomican today - White Dwarf: Battlefields, which looks at some of the seminal battlefields that have appeared in White Dwarf over the years; and the White Dwarf Feature, which explores the legend of the White Dwarf and provides rules for using him in your games of Warhammer.
Following on from yesterday's look at some of the miniatures you've been sending us pictures of, I thought I'd show you four more.
Michael Shaw converted these Ork vehicles:
-
Michael converted a Space Marine Rhino to make this Looted Wagon. He added pieces of plasticard to the hull in order to make it more ramshackle, and also to widen the vehicle slightly and make room for the Grot Bomb Launcha. The crane on the side is an old Gorkamorka Grabba Claw.
-
This Trukk was given wheels from the Forge World Armoured Gun Wagon kit and its 'eavy shooter has been taken from the Forge World Twin Big Shootas set. Michael made the reinforced ram using plasticard and the tracked rear section from an old kit.
-
Michael mounted the quad heavy stubbers from the Forge World Imperial Guard Sabre Defence Platform onto this Wartrakk, but you could just as easily use the quad autocannon from the Aegis Defence Line kit. He then built up the gun platform and added extra armour to the Wartrakk using plastic card.
-
Another Looted Wagon, Michael again started with the Rhino kit and added plasticard to the hull. He also added the Forge World Ork Lobba to represent a boomgun, and the ammunition shells from the Forge World Imperial Guard Bombard Ammo Box set. Notice the Razorwire Michael has added around the sandbags.
If you've done an interesting conversion, painted a great miniature, or anything else hobby related, then email me some pictures to whatsnewtoday@games-workshop.co.uk and I'll feature the best here on the blog.
Though before you go rushing off to take pictures, here are a couple of guidelines for taking some good pictures that we'll be able use on the blog: don't crop or resize your images, we'll do that; try not to take the picture too close-up - the thing you're taking a picture of shouldn't fill the whole of your camera's view finder; take your pictures in landscape not portrait.
Also, remember to include some information on how you painted your miniature, what components you used to convert it, and the reason you decided to paint and model it in that way. The more detail you put in your email the better.
I look forward to seeing your pictures.
