Behold the Mighty Fortress!

I have decided to return to my love of all things Warhammer 40k, but not the shiny new 7th edition. I have dug up my old Rogue Trader era rule book and re-discovered my complete 2nd edition WH40K. In addition, I found my old Mighty Fortress.

I have had this beauty since 1988, and it got a lot of use in the months leading up to my entry into Marine Corps boot camp in September of 88. We used it quite a bit for WHFB, but I really loved using it as a city wall for WH40K battles. My favorite game from those days was a siege where a mixed force of fantasy orks and 40k orks sought to dislodge a squad of space marines from the castle. I think we played that last scenario multiple times.

I am now in the middle of painting some modern space marines as Prey-Heresy World Eaters - as I hope to introduce my kids to the love of 40k in the near future. I don't plan on sticking to any canon for this adventure, just a bunch of space marines fighting it out in my basement (along with some old orks and eldar). I will post more of my progress with the minis as I get more done.

But for now, enjoy the beauty of the Mighty Fortress!
