Tis the season for building projects and I thought it would be neat to have a bit of a closer theme than just "build anything and everything."

having had a long love of the Epic scale for years (heck its what got me into wargaming back in the Titan Legions days) and seeing Mad Doc building up his legion I thought it would be cool to have a little bit of a building challenge for the year. A chance to build legions, race each other, keep pace, challenge and grow (tiny) huge armies!


So I put it to you Dakka - anyone can take part; step up and declare yourself and lets see if we can turn money into sprue and sprue into models to wage epic mass warfare!


Myself I'll be entering with the Solar Auxillia! Photos to come once I dig them all out of the various moving and packing boxes they are hiding in

I’m in. Pic of current to paint pile….

Also a Thunderhawk which is somewhere and four boxes of Astartes Infantry.

I have Mechanicum in progress. I will add pics later if I remember this thread lol

HOBBY FRENZY!!!!!!!

I've got Solar Auxilia.

Cool, I want to build and paint another full strength infantry tercio for my SAX, and finish a Malcador detachment!!

Hoooooooo Mama!

So much drybrushing done.

Reckon, if I maintain a steady pace? I’ll be done by the end of next week. Which is convenient, as by then I’ll know if the 96 bases of Stuff across my 4 boxes of Astartes Infantry are acceptable for the One Million Miniatures thing.

Not that I don’t think LI would count (the article already confirmed as much). Just I’ve got them on-hand, still in shrink wrap.

Those I know I can, start to finish, fart out a whole box in an evening. And once done? Barring terrain that’ll be me back to a fully painted Epic Scale collection.

Well last year I completed by Blood Angels Legion (well I'll be going back and adding some Fellblades etc at some point, but not for a while), so this year I've got allied Auxilia and Mechanicum to do.

Working on House Taranis knights first, so thinking then probably Mechanicum will be the first proper new Legions project for 2026 - although I'm starting to wonder if I have some kind of painting masochism given that will be yet another red army to paint (and being red/green colour blind)...

I do have a bunch of Auxilia on sprues still to do, I know they will be Saturnyne Rams but haven't worked out how I want to paint them so thats why they're bottom of the queue for now.

I have 5k of Dark Mech to paint this year and have been very slowly cranking it out. And 7.5k of TS. And 1.5k of SAX... and 3k of Eldar for EA.
I have a feeling I will not get this done.

Working on a pair of Warhounds currently.

Have you tried lowering your standards?
