Lovely work mate, that TIE Reaper looks especially cool!

You mean the Hecate Interceptor I’ve designed?

Yes mate, it looks wonderful! Going to have to get some next pay check.

Thanks Ingtaer! Yes they are lovely little minis, nice level of detail and reasonably priced too. I thought they looked more suitable as Xiphons for the Night Lords than the standard mini, just spent a bit of time scraping off some of the Chaos arrows. Think they would probably look good alongside your TS actually, with a nice colourful paint job..

Malika am forever greatful for your Epic-scale work, have added loads of it to various armies over the years!

From small to smaller, painted some torpedoes for BFG in a couple of hours for yesterday's game, where my Imperials ripped some Chaos nasties a few extra vents.

Whoo, another 60pts done! My goodness does this take a while.

Looking very nice Ingtaer! I love those Biker minis. I am hoping to do some Fast Attack stuff at some point, but have finished my Night Lords now so will be looking at another Legion. Have to decide which!

Speaking of which, have finished off a unit of Sabre Tank Destroyers. I've tried to accessorise them and make each distinct, by adding some extra bits and decorative corpses. That's it for the Lords now though, with a Reaver Titan brings them up to 2.5k

Some sod has pinched your ickle rockets!

Such pretty Sabres, have to say that I think they are my favourite unit. Might even get around to painting mine...

In the meantime I got a few bases of TS cult infantry done.

And done.

That’s all my Legions Imperialis toys painted again, well barring the alternative turrets, which are mostly done. Might do those over the weekend.

Cabinet needs a clean, which necessitates removing models. So what better time to do a big old fambleh photo of everything. All painted this year and all. Though I have noticed I’ve not quite finished the Legion Support stuff, so that’s this evening’s job.

Here goes!

Army comprises of…

2 x HQ stands
32 x Tactical Marine stands
8 x Terminator Stands
8 x Heavy Support stands
8 x Tactical Support stands
8 x Assault Marine stands
8 x Kratos Heavy Tanks*
6 x Predator Tanks**
8 x Autocannon Array Sabres
8 x Neutron Blaster Sabres
16 x Contemptors
12 x Leviathans
12 x Deredeo
8 x Sicaran***
4 x Sicaran Arcus***
4 x Sicaran Punisher***
20 x Rhino APC
8 x Spartan Assault Transports
12 x Outrider Stands
6 x Laser Destroyer Rapiers
6 x Quad Launcher Rapiers
6 x Lascannon Tarantula
6 x Missile Tarantula
18 x Scimitar Jetbike Stands
12 x Landspeeder Proteus
12 x Landspeer Javelin
6 x Xiphon Interceptor
2 x Fire Raptors

Points wise we’re probably talking in the region of 6,000 or so. Army composition I can field, not at the same time, a Demi-Company, Armoured Company, Garrison, Sky Strike Phalanx, Heavy Assault Spearhead. So pretty flexible.

About the only thing I’m really missing would be especially reliable Anti-Titan stuff. That’s not to say my only option is “leg it, Baz!”. Just that I’d have to commit to wearing the big buggers down over a few turns.

*Main gun kept interchangeable
**Turrets interchangeable
***I can field up to 8 of any one variant, as yet again, turrets are interchangeable.

3k NetEA. Dark Angels made an attempt at a lightning strike against the Machine Church, but the unyielding purity of steel prevailed and the astartes were scattered onto the streets, slick and glistening with the all-soaking rain of oil.



Click spoilers for more pictures!

That is a lot of gorgeous terrain!

And the models too! Where did your mechanicum stuff come from?

Cheers fellas. Terrain credit goes to the rest of the club, miP in particular.

My Mechanicum is a mix of free Thingiverse prints, Vanguard Miniatures metals, conversions from Titanicus bits, repurposed DZC platforms and similar gubbins.

Amazing scenery and minis!!! kudos to that club!!

My under coated 1st Legion Ironwing company. Hopefully I’ll get it finished within the next couple of weeks

Second Predator squadron now underway. Exhausts less irritating this time around, now I’ve done 29 such hulls in total.

Went up to Warhammer World with my cousin today and got to play a game of Titanicus on their nice LI table. Combo of poor lighting and my shoddy photography skills means these are a bit lacking, but it was a resounding victory for the force of Ignatum!

Glorious photos there! Glad to see a Titanicus rumble

Painted the eldar avatar

MEGA 2nd Ed SM Battle report from the world of Hazzard Prime... Can Warlord Bozzhog triumph against the Blood Angels and their Guard and Squat allies?

https://skinflintgames.wordpress.com/2024/10/02/epic-smackdown-on-hazzard-prime-7500pt-mega-battle-report/

Thank you for posting this - more motivation to get going on my 2nd Edition/Titan Legions stuff - maybe this winter, finally?

Come on Alpharius mate.. you have been talking about it for long enough!

Some stunning stuff above! That Titan Battle group..

Some bonus for SherryPie too, as always!

Skinflint - that looked like one hell of a game!

Just a quick update. In-between other stuff I have finished some Eldar Swooping Hawks. I have burnt out a little with tiny scale finishing a Legions force, but will hopefully get back to both these Eldar and some ideas for another Epic force soon. These minis are prints, obtained from Mighty Minis UK

My Aux-based Guard needed some Chimera equivalents and my lazy arse couldn't bother to print any right now. Instead I spent a few days prototyping the BattlePotato, a shortened and wingless Arvus with moldcast Rapier tracks and a laser turret.

Painted some more eldar. I can now field them as a fearsome 250 pts biel-tan list.

And some wraithlords for good measure

Those turned out GREAT! Can I feature these on Vanguard Miniatures' Instagram page? I can tag you if you're on Insta as well

Didn't know they had an instagram, but sure go ahead! No need to tag me

Finished these the other day.
