Some shots from this past weekend down in PA. They're mostly from my games but I did manage to snap some shots of the other games as well as some army shots at the end. Enjoy!

Brings a tear to your eye, it does...

Nice!

How many players were there in the tournament?

EA is such and epic game when the armies are painted on decent tables like this. You can see why it sold so well back in the day.

We had six total. Marines, IG, two Eldar, Tau and Nids.

Wow. What a fantastic looking day!

This.

The models look great, although I don't understand how people can paint models that tiny, I have trouble on modern 40k figs

I've always found that's a bit of a misconception that smaller scales are harder to paint.. If anything its easier for smaller scales I find since you can dry brush the majority of it (greyscale works well too) you can get allot done quickly and nicely. Then just do whatever highlights to finish an from 4 feet away they will look great..

You then take a bit of time on the centrepiece models.

Ya, drybrush and washes go a long way in 6mm.

Wow, why can't this be in the UK?
Epic is an amazing game and its a shame more people don't play it.


Also, any idea who's nids those are?
The conversions are simply amazing!
I need to know how those were done lol.

The UK has the highest concentration of Epic players, just post of TacComms, there's bound to be someone near you.

The nids are gunslinger007 on TacComm. Done are resin models, some conversions he did or bought.

Thank you very much and I'll have to have a look.
Very interested in those newer style nids!

Dammit I live in Baltimore MD. I really need to get my ass over there one year.

There are a number of Epic tournaments in the UK and quite a few clubs that play as well. My current club plays a lot of Epic if happen to be near Birmingham.

I lived in Gosport until January so we could have had a game or two

Lovely looking armies! Will have o look up those Nid conversions myself or wait until Onslaught Games does the bigger gribblies!
