Are those ones yours?

No, only the Guard tanks and brown titans were mine. The eldar player is a newcomer who felt comfortable jumping into a large game, their violet gemwork plating is mighty impressive in general. They couldn't get full 5k finished in time, so the yellow titans were loaned out from one of our veterans. I'll try to take some proper pictures of their army in the future.

My Epic armies currently include legion era Death Guard in bone and green, baroque red and brown titans of Legio Favilla plus AdMech in the same scheme as well as green-orange Imperial Guard / PDF forces of Selen II. Any other forces you might come upon in these pictures thus far are other players'.

Heirodule figured “sod this, I’m off whilst no-ones looking”

Very nice looking stuff!

Are those new AT titans mixed in with old Eldar and Tyranid titans?

Scale looks...OK?

The Nids are original metal, the Eldar titans may be metal forumware if not original. Reavers are AT plastics, yes.

A battle was waged over the weather controll station on the now renamed Orkland islands. Custom boat rules were used.

Gitdakka, mind sharing what the boat rules were? Wet-navy operations are always interesting gaming topics.

At our end: I set up two tables for today's games, had a nice couple of 3k GT NetEA rounds with eldar, orks, admech and marines present. My dubstep cannon of doom performed well against both varieties of xenos, blowing up steam gargants and shredding infantry formations like there's no tomorrow.

Even if the gargants are holding hands like the most wholesome xenos Teletubbies that they are, in wub-wub we must purge them.

@Sherry pie Sure!
The ships basicly worked as war engine transports, the transport craft had the ability to let the passengers shoot/firefight out of them, and the big boat had similar loadout to an ork gargant
Small boats had dc 3 or 4 and 4+sv
If critted they insta-die and all passengers drown
Big boat had dc 8 and 4+reinforced armour
If critted it burns like the gargants.

They all had movement stat of 15cm
However, their move had some smilarities to flyers that they move in straight 15cm lines and then can turn (90 deg for small boats and 45 deg for the big ones.) they must use the full movement.

After activating, you mark the current speed, 0-3 depending on which type of move the ship did. Next activation, they can only activate at same speed or one higher or lower. For example if you double this turn, next turn you can't sustain fire as that would go from speed 2 to 0

If you collide with terrain you take half your dc times your speed in hits, which can be armour saved. If you collide with a unit, both take the hits, then you bounce back out of their ZOC.

This is amazing!

I'm going to have to get out the dreadfleet gaming mat, make some ork boats myself, and steal this idea at some point!

Realised I haven't posted these here yet, actually a finished army (which very seldom happens to me!)
Aeldari of the Dyun-Kel Craftworld. Narrowly escaping the destruction of the Eldar Maiden worlds, they were fated to be one of those lost to Slaanesh prior to the 41st millennium.



The miniatures are a real mix. The vast majority of infantry are proxies from the Vanguard Miniatures Eloi range, the Dark Reapers and Swooping Hawsks are 3D prints.


Many of the vehicles are classic GW metals (which were hideously expensive) but I did manage to get a bag of Falcons, which looked like they had been dipped in Dulux masonry paint, for about £10! After a restoration job these were colour-matched with the Guardians and various Aspect Warriors.


The Avatar is a GW original, and I made up an Exarchs honour guard from leftovers from the Vanguard and 3D printed Aspect Warriors units.


Guardians and a 30k-era Aspect Warrior shrine that I made up: The Screaming Blades. The idea behind these is that they are obsessed with martial prowess, their blades 'record' the final moments of slain opponents and the warriors can re-live this to see how they can improve their art. But, Slaanesh used their pride as a way of insiduously gaining control, and their Aspect shrine and the Craftworld would eventually be lost in the annals of history.
I used some Onslaugh Dark Eldar minis, and rules for Striking Scorpions for them.

That's it for now and my fourth Epic army! Need to think of a next project
