Epic is absolutely your medium. Your orks absolutely rock!

Yes they do!

Kind words got the SS Freebird done another merchantman. Also slipped and ordered the Nickstarter for the Frostgrave Lure of the Liche Lord thing because Cultists! As well as that I've confirmed my Zombicide order. So lots of goodies on the way!

Thinking about it surely Epic's my Small In more Frostgrave stuff I've got my Nickstarter order made as the plastic cultists can either be used in Frostgrave or for the Cults of Hrin.......As well as that Zombicide and CAV are on order and my Crushers are also coming mweeheeheee.

Reverse stalking? How aboot yes!

Fair enough LeCacty, and if you really want to stalk me Tactical Command is an excellent place to wander over for Epic shenanigans. First of the War Rockets done excellent simple paint job. I'll probably count it as a Hellblade.

That's a lovely piece of retro joy!

Cheers definitely!
Got CNS Gadfly done. Another Scout ship.

Felt like some heavy metal.
Got the next two vehicles of 2nd Platoon 4th Company 3rd Hrin Cataphracts completed.
"B" Vehicle Harold

"A" Vehicle Heracles

Complete Company as these are counting as Baneblades

BTW my Crushers arrived well worth the wait they're awesome won't quite blend perfectly with the Killa Kan kits but that does mean I've got 3 Slashas, 3 Greats & 2 Mega Gargants to create at some point!

Nice! Where are these from? Also, for your ork titans, you could easily build some with plasticard and a few bits. I may be making a gargant mob that way.

I cheated and brought the Killa Kans kit, as well as the Crushers from the Troublemaker Games kickstarter and 2 Megagargants from Ebay. That'll go along with the 11 I've acquired from Ebay. The scratchbuilding option does seem fun and a while back I cardstocked some Killa Kans so I'd consider it. The crushers will however be excellent value when released at £12 each. The tanks are Troublemaker Games of course, the retro rocket is from Hydra Miniatures and CNS Gadfly is a Nymphe class scout ship from Ground Zero Games who have an excellent 6mm range and some easily adapted 15mm models as well.

Quick question, actually. To differentiate killas from deffs could you mount three killas onto a stand?

Hey llama,

I 'd normally stalk you on tactcomms, but I already had this window open!

Excellent work as usual!

The killa kan kit is a godsend for epic orks. I picked one up from a hobbycraft clearance sale few years before I had decided to quit painting 28mm 40k stuff, for a pittance, and it is smashing kit. I now intend to grab another couple of kits for my gargant mobs, as well as all sorts of gubbins for my ork town. I really want to chop up my 40k ones, but as they look so good on the shelf I might just keep them as display!

I have scratch built most of a stompa for epic, which just needs detailing, but the killa kans will make making gargants a breeze. I have been super unlucky on the bidding on oldschool mega gargants, so the bits in the kans kits will be the next best option!

Edit: Oh yeah, and I have almost finished my epic scale scratch built killa kan, just so I had a whole family! Just needs one more eye made and some pipes, then finish off the rivets, then I will post him up!
I plan to do a family shot of all killa kan shaped gargants going from small to large!

Great to see you Rex need to catch up on your blogs over there! I mainly blog here if I'm honest as I can put up more varied projects on here and I've been posting longer. Ebays odd with things like Mega Gargants you wait ages for one then a half dozen turn up at once. All 3 of the ones I brought were New on Sprue and they turn up like that moderately regularly.

Le Cacty good question for me I'd probably use the old plastics as the Kans and the metals as the Dreadnaughts for my ease.

Speaking of Tact command, I signed up for it a while ago and my account has yet to be activated. Is there any reason for this or is it just slow?

(If I recall correctly)They have a massive issue with spam awhile back and the forum owner now checks over applicants by hand to combat this and with the forum owner moving overseas for work, and with a new scheduled he has been a bit snowed under. If you drop me a message with your forum name you tried to register I will ping him or someone over there and get them to check your registration, thats the quickest way to get your account active! Annoying, yes, but it does keep the riff raff out!

Good luck with that LeCacty look forward to seeing you on there! Some of the battle reports need to be seen to be believed!

First of all the bad news. Troublemaker Games is ceasing to trade. However Vanguard Miniatures will be taking over distribution of the existing range and hopefully releasing more.

More positively I've got Captain Hadrian of the 23rd Company 232nd Hrin Infantry's command tank painted up.


I've also finished the Warmaster Lord of Change for my Chaos forces and this month's painting competition as nothing says tricky like a Lord of Change!

Looks awesome! Showin some love for the little guys!

Great stuff, liking the gradation on the wings!

Cheers Guys. Little may be slightly inaccurate though. The Lord of Change is at least the size of the average 28mm infantryman annd has wings which look accurate. :Excellent piece though.

Seem to be acquiring some 1;1 scale terrain in the near future. My own house. Going to put buying new toys on hold for a while but equally I'm definitely sorting out a gaming table......Got plenty enough to paint as it is!

Halfling Archer nice and simple.

Regular Chaos Marine Company.

Currently in two minds about what I'm going to do with ToEG on Tactical Command. I have three major Epic armies on the go and can't really justify buying a new one. Fantasy is an option for this year but I'm short of cash hhhhhmmmm don't actually have an Ork Blog over there yet Gargant Mega Mob next year?

First of all some Boarboyz

Got these based up finally.

Quite a lot for the Army Group


B Squadron 2nd Company 39th Hrin Armoured
Brigade Models Mammoth Tanks.

3rd Platoon 12th Company 8th Dresden

Microworld Games Sci-Fi Beastmen


The first troopers of the Witham 3rd got plans for these boys involving lots of lovely Brigade Models Armoured Cars.....
Colour scheme is Desert Yellow and Khaki with African flesh. Possibly could do with more contrast.....

Still hmming and hahhing about new toys I really shouldn't but work has been mildly miserable with the first cold wet weeks of winter, a site a long way from home and commuting in the dark along with the stress of buying a home well I'm going to be in the mood for a treat it'll either be the deferred pleasure of the Dropfleet Commander Kickstarter or something more tangible. Baccus historicals to use a s guard is one temptation, Microworld has many while one thing I'm hearing the siren call of is attempting a chapter although whether of Sisters or Marines i haven't decided. Well I have eventually both......

I like it! Very cool stuff in here. Now if I could just learn to speed paint.

Epic!

Thanks guys great to see Epic picking up on here.

Decided next years ToEG project and it's Microworld Games Lizardmen.........

Oooooooooooh!

What are the requrements to participate in the ToEG?

For ToEG
Basically be a member of Tactical Command........
Theres a forum on there where you run an army blog. You aim to finish a set amount each month aiming to complete the army in a year. I've usually aimed for a company card in a month of some description for Net Epic and posted it on the blog the aim is to finish a playable army to a decent standard by the end of the year. Here's the true guidelines. http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=26572 More the merrier, and images and text easily transpose from Dakka Dakka to Tactical Command making life easier. The gallery works well on there as well!
Hope to see you two aboard for next year!

Company cards? What is this, Adeptus Titanicus?
Do you think I could enter my sons for next year, even though they're already started?

I wish I would have known about this before the year started. I would have entered my Squats. I've also got a rediculous amount of Orks that need to get done. But now that I know about it I will come up with something for next year.

Well I still play that....Well the Net Epic version myself. It's what my gaming group back in Sheffield wanted to play and I wanted to play any Epic.........So I use that as a guideline there's no hard and fast rules. Most people aim for roughly a formation a month which ever rule set they play. I obviously can't do that for my Lizardmen. For the Thunder's Children I set a relaxed pace of at least one 4 base group a month and I'll work out something similar for the Dynaz. I entered my Word Bearers in at slightly started so I don't see why thats a problem. Really looking forward to seeing your work on there you two!

Just seen the scuttlebutt about a new Specialist Games department at GW. Trying to be hugely excited but failing. I genuinely prefer supporting the smaller manufacturers, really enjoy the fan rules and have been delighted to cobble together armies from random sources. GW's current pricing is also off putting to say the least and frankly the rules writing has plummeted since the release of 5th Ed 40k and 8th Ed Warhammer so I have low hopes for that. Although hopefully It'll build up a player base for the games again!
