New Flyers revealed in White Dwarf - Sneak Peeks

The latest White Dwarf has an absolute ton of pictures of the new Flyers - Some Awesome and some really not. 
This isn't an exclusive on my part and thanks should go to Blood of Kittens for digging this one up.

Space Marine StormTalon Gunship

Ork Flyers

Necron Flyers

As with what most people I really aren't a big fan of the model for the Space marine Stormtalon but the leaked rules certainly do look good, will have to see about some conversions using Land Speeders (such as the FW one).
 
The Ork flyer I love, I'm not generally an Ork fan but the model with its 3 variations is just Orks, they have captured them perfectly.
 
The Necron Doom Scythe and Night Scythe kit is OK, nothing unexpected but then again nothing exciting, still ties in well with the rest of the kit.
 
Overall nice to see some new models and would love to know your thoughts.

Battle Results - A New Feature

Hi Folks,
After a few weeks of silence we have finally managed to get back in to gaming and hope to start a more regular feature on the blog, we are looking to start "Battle Results" an article detailing the numbers of games played within our group and documenting the results.
This first post, hopefully of many, shows the first 2 games played within the group, a 500 point battle between Dan and I. Followed then by a 1000 point a side with Dan and Chris playing Ultramarines and GKs against Mike and I playing as Imperial Guard - surprisingly a victory for the Guard!

The Airsoft Armoury - An Update

As promised folks some updates on the many hobbies of Millest.
As regular followers are aware over the past few years I have amassed quite an armoury of airsoft "weapons" or toys as I generally call them. However recently after a few bad experiences and the fact the toys are getting on a bit I took the hard decision to part with them. In the end I sold both the G36c and the M249, but don't worry friends and followers it isn't all bad, far from it in fact.
The sale of my toys has allowed me to invest in a nice shiny toy, so I would like to take this time to introduce you to the latest member of the armoury, my nice new G36KV:

Apologies for the stock photo but there is a touch more work I would like to do to it before I get some more pics up.
This new toy is a Umarex G36KV with EBB - Electric Blow Back - or recoil which is nice, and playing with others massively out ranges my old G36c. So please keep an eye out for new pics soon.
hope you like, I know I do!
