Behold!

My stuff.

Just finished painting another set of Infantry. About to assemble the last Support box.

Very nice work guys! Like the display you have there Doc and the 28mm guys underneath.

Zedmeister that metallic blue is just gorgeous..your only challenge now is going to be how to model twirly mustaches onto minis of that scale!

Finished writing an after action report for a big multiplayer mash-up in our Kriegsspielmageddon campaign with over 30 000 points of Epic: Armageddon forces at it, some 80+ pages of narrative goodness in PDF form.

Six players, two months of play, scheming, intrigue and very 40k madness up the wazoo with lots of burning tanks littering the fields as thousands of soldiers and civilians stomp the tortured grounds of Taranus Aegis.
The report contains some crude language, parody of current events and depictions of atrocities one would expect from the grim darkness of the far future.

Cabinet is from Argos. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2253130?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=c290d9a9-b5d6-423c-841d-2a559621874c&istItemId=rrlrpwrqm&istBid=t&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157%7Cacid:844-913-7556%7Ccid:20354354618%7Cagid:%7Ctid:%7Ccrid:%7Cnw:x%7Crnd:916128238327727901%7Cdvc:c%7Cadp:%7Cmt:%7Cloc:9045105&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20354354618&utm_term=2253130&utm_content=shopping&utm_custom1=&utm_custom2=844-913-7556&GPDP=true&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwq86wBhDiARIsAJhuphkiNXkrcM2pKn4_jzC894rKsEBxbjHnEwhUUosEI030YLVX9vuNfyEaAqkCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Pretty sure I got mine cheaper, and the second one at discount.

I do need some acrylic risers though, to maximise space for Epic scale. I did get one, but ended up using to better display my vintage Ghostbusters figures.

More progress.

Should have this lot polished off tomorrow, and the Spartans are half sprayed, ready for Friday.

Here are some pictures of our latest campaign game. This time, the orks surprise attacked an imperial logistics harbour. I custom built the ork vessels mostly out of paper and did some water effects with more paper, cotton and mod podge.

The game was tight, and in the end the orks managed to destroy the AA batteries, landing platforms further up the beach and they prevented the escape of the noble guard commander.

Those are some very lovely ships, I approve

Incredible stuff guys! Just reminding me why this is my favourite thread on this forum

Sherrypie - going to be downloading that PDF and setting that up on the tablet for some serious reading, that looks absolutely incredible.

I have finally hit 1.5k points - now have just under a month to do the remaining 500 (which is mostly some marines and drop pods, as well as Sicaran tanks). Am starting to burn out a little (and not just my eyesight) painting tiny lightning bolts on things..

Cabinet update.

Need to do a proper list, but probably around 3,000 points at this stage.

Next purchases will likely involve clear acrylic risers, and hopefully more Predators and Sicarans if GW y’know, gives them a proper release.

Cheers, do tell what you thought about that whole kerfuffle when you're done! Always keen to hear if I managed to convey the situation out at least somewhat coherently.

And keep up the good work, it's only a zillion more lightning bolts to go

Don’t suppose anyone can point me to an online list builder?

Will do Sherrypie

This one is very good

Nice one!

It’s model count is a bit wonky (it’s not separated out Plasma from Missile Support Legionnaires) but it’s still pretty handy.

Fiddlins!

Bit miffed I could only afford two of the 12 Rapiers I’ve painted, but I guess the next step is to grab the models from the cabinet, and line them up to see what’s in what, and that I’ve not listed models I don’t have.

Thought I'd show off some of my Solar Auxilia (plus Navy) I've painted so far.

The Russes were probably my favourite to paint but quite fond of the Aethons too. I have lots more to paint in terms of infantry and tanks but I'm getting there. Hoping to have what I have so far done by mid-May for Titandeath campaign.

Malcadors:


Leman Russes:


Aethon Heavy Sentinels:


Lasrifle Tercio:

Veletarii:


Navy:

Nice work, TH. The lenses liven up the weathered grey quite well.

Cheers! Yeah definitely feel like if you're not painting the trim on these minis, you need to do lenses or something to add some visual interest.

Love how the Navy is pristine while the grunts are battered to hell - "Auxilia do the dying, Navy just does the flying"

Also, I would struggle to paint lenses like that on 28mm, how you've accomplished it at Epic scale is beyond me!

Absolutely lovely work Tyranid Horde! Some of the nicest Solars/Navy I have seen, that's a cracking colour scheme.

The first 60 or so tanks of Selen II's 4th Home Army are getting their gear in order to head towards the painting dock... radio aerials get attached after basecoats.



Yes, I will be converting pretty much every one of the upcoming hundreds of vehicles to be at least somewhat unique. Business as usual

Love the reference! A bit unintentional on my part as the Navy were painted in July last year for the Dakka Painting Challenge and had no time to do weathering! Reckon I'll keep it that way now.

Thanks Pacific as well! White schemes at small scale seem to work really well.

Loving the additions Sherrypie! I considered adding some bits to my tanks but ultimately left it. Might be worth going back in and adding to them though. Especially love the sand bags.

Those are some nice Solar Auxilia. Going in my inspiration folder...

Sat down to take some photos of my Adeptus Titanicus Legio Atarus the other evening. They look fine from the tabletop but up close they're not amazing. I painted these to "battle ready" last year and then went through the arduous process of touching them up after assembly. The later titans I do will be better (I hope) as I don't have the same time constraints.

Warhound Pack "Failinis" and "Sceolang"



Extras:


Reaver Titans "Dearg Doom" and "Duban"




Extras:


Nemesis Warbinger Titan "Gae-Ruadh"

I'm sure I am not speaking out of turn here Tyranid Horde by saying those are a hell of a lot better than just 'Battle Ready'! They look really good, like the eye glow effect and the little infantry about to be squished on the bases.

I have finished off the last of my Night Lord infantry, these ones are coming in by Drop Pod. I know there aren't any Dreadclaw rules yet, so I guess they will just be standard Drop Pods for now. I tried to copy some atmospheric entry burn effects, although it is underneath so you can't really see it

The marines are mostly as standard, I snuck a few Vanguard infantry onto the Command stand to give them more of a veteran look.

Wowsers, two posts in a row! Have finished off some Sicarians, accessorised them with some helmet poles and corpses (in colours of their accompanying Guard penal regiment )
The extra bits are mostly from Vanguard Miniatures, although I have snuck in an old RTB-01 part of anyone is eagle-eyed enough to spot it!
Will try and get a finished army shot sorted soon.

They’re almost too wee. Aye. Too wee. They’re like the sort of models Prince might use to play a game! Too wee!

Humble brag time? Other than my terrain, most of which sits unbuilt as a future project? All my Legions stuff is painted!

At least until about three weeks time or so, as new toys being ordered this Saturday.

Good stuff, Paz and Doc

Thanks mate!

That is an impressive looking army there Doc! Some collection, how many points are you up to with those now and what next stuff is planned?

So.. I have finally finished my 2k Night Lords army! An event coming up in a few weeks and unusually for me got it done in time (and not still painting late into the evening the night before!)
I will post some accompanying background for them but basically they had been recruiting from a 'prison world' for recruits and auxiliaries (hence the orange jumpsuit guys) - these get used as cannon fodder by the Legion. I'm planning on painting up some 'loyalist' Death Guard for a friend of mine, so will have an interesting narrative spin on things.

Great stuff Pacific, they look good together.

On my end, speedpainted a handful of Mechanicum yesterday for today's Epic games.

Some NetEA at the club, my AdMech mauled the greenskins twice over with some dubstep goodness while the Eldar and Tyranids had a go at the demo table.
