Ork Army #2 - Heller CLICLAC 1:43 snap-together VBC90 Anti aircraft /28mm Ork APC 'Orkvan'

Another conversion from this cheap and cheerful kit. The only real changes were removal of the turret and capping with a slotta base, plus the addition of 6 balloon wheels, which came from champagne bottles (supplied by a friend's air hostess partner). I used this in the 40k bring and battle at golden Demon 1988 (it's just off the bottom left hand picture on page 16 of Fantasy Miniatures 1988). It also lived in the cabinet at GW Hammersmith for a while.

Tuff, meen and Orky!

Crimson Death Space marine army #5 Citadel 28mm RTB05/RTB11 Land Raider (first version)

From 1987, this was the first version of the now-famous Land Raider. Unusually for one of these, the las cannons are still attached to their working sponson mounts. About the only casualty this model has suffered is its aerial. Skeleton victim is from Skeleton Horde, with jewelry chain.

Can you believe we actually sold these in Games Workshop at the time of Rogue Trader. It's had a las-cannon from a space marine dreadnought added. The teeth were in the original kit's stickers.

Back in the day, the army had access to anything the rest of the imperium produced.

Laserburn Project WIP15 - Imperial and Redemptionist vehicles

A long time coming, here's part 15 of my never-ending 15mm SF project. This time up, some imperial vehicles and a cheap and cheerful red redemption flyer.

The first vehicle is an imperial ground attack aerodyne, which you may have seen in earlier posts, is a matchbox toy. I've done very little to it in terms of model making - a few mould lines cleaned up and a hole drilled for the offset base.

The metal rivet in the centre of the fan is a) too hard for most model drills and b) part of the functionality of the fan, so I drilled towards the rear.

The second vehicle is from Ground Zero Games. It's representative of a standard transport grav sled, widely in use across the imperium.

The last of the imperial vehicles is a Warthog APC from Atenociti's Workshop.

Finally, just because it's part of the same milieu, a red redemption transport, which you may recognise from a certain movie. It's a snap-together kit that comes pre-painted - all I did was give it a wash with army painter dark tone.

I'm sure there will be some more progress on this project at some point, but I have other things on my table at present.
