Towering Hierophant Bio-Titan
|
Hi all, needed severe motivation to paint so I figured I'd start a blog for this.
I have a ton of epic and I need to get painting it while expanding more on certain armies.
My squats are nearly finished build wise, just painting to do.
The Orks and necrons are both in building stages at the moment.
So, some pics to start with:
So, squats are at full size ish I'd say now and started painting up some infantry.
Have a few more units to add yet but want some painting done first.
Orks are currently being built and need a ton of work.
Necrons are very new so only have 6 monolith's and the start of a night bringer conversion.
So, this is where I'm at so far, I do plan on building up some Tyranid soon too, but not just yet.

Just a small update, need to tidy it up a tad and add some freehand runes to break up colour in places, but pretty much finished.
Want to get chunks of it done and then go back and add in more detail as I go.

Excellent stuff which ruleset do you play?

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

We go by the 2E space marine rules, so the original rule set and expansions with the old cards
Quick and simple.
However, we are adding in netepic units to fill gaps and add other armies (like my necrons)
Also have more Tyranid on the way now too! (Biggest regret of my gaming life to sell them)
Also tinkering with photo editing apps as the camera isn't great, but the all cleans it up a bit and makes it viewable.

The older rules just seem to play alot more smoothly.
Also, the armies look like a proper army, Armageddon armies just seem like a small scale 40k army.
Currently basing a ton of stuff ready for painting.

Definitely. Personally I find Epic models paint much nicer on the sprue but based you can start gaming so swings and roundabouts!

I never paint anything on sprues, more so epic models as they can be a pain to slot into the bases as it is, let alone having to clean off paint first lol.
Minor update, but added some runes to the airship to break up the block of green.

Just a minor update really.
Colossus is now done with its observer gyrocopter.
Wanted to keep the theme of runes going on large spaces to break up colour too.
Should also have a new camera soon too, so better pics!
