Metallics all done. Didn’t take as long as I feared.

Next is the red shoulder pad, then any frou-frou bits.

5k of NetEA Minervans versus Tyranids, E:A GT scenario. A brutal affair, with the Guard eventually taking the field through weight of kills after no-one could attain a clean victory on the main objectives.

Don’t mind me. I’m just here to FLEX!



All painted, and displayed.

How much is that? A Chapter's worth of infantry and tanks? Two?

I honestly don’t know. But I can try to work it out.

4 x 12 strong Taccies, that’s 240 bodies.
2 x 12 Strong Taccies with Missile Support is 120
2 x 12 Strong Taccies with Plasma Support is 120
2 x 8 Strong Assault Marines is 80 bodies
2 x 8 Strong Cataphractii is 80 bodies
2 x Command is 10.

So already that’s…erm…650 individuals.

39 Saturnine including one Command base

Then there’s 12 Rapier Platforms with two gunners for 24 bodies.

36 Bikes, 40 Jetbikes and 48 Landspeeder Crew is another 124 bodies.

So not faffing with vehicle crew? 827 Astartes.

There’s 64 Dreadnoughts, 8 Araknae platforms and 140 Tanks, plus 6 one pilot Fighters, 4 Gunships with at least 3 crew, and a Thunderhawk with again at least 2 crew.

Even allowing just a single driver for all the tanks? That’s 1,069 Astartes.

Heyoo, battle report time!

Epic: Armageddon, 4k NetEA lists, Imperial Fists vs. Minervan tank legion.
'Ill met by moonlight' expansion, 'Blitzkrieg!' scenario.

Good ol' written battle rep in the blog with ~20 pics of hot tank on tank action in the grim darkness of the far future. Enjoy

See that? That knocks my pictures into a cocked hat!

You just need to get your army into glorious battle too!

It awaits, out there, somewhere!

It's not the shape of the headwear, but how you use it. Wait, err...

But yes, you simply need to get your fellas out more. How can they live their best tiny war criminal lives if they can't run free, touching grass and burning civilisations on the wide tables of the great yonder?

More TS done!

Some recent terrain progress.

That barbed wire is so cute.

I also have some, for my Baran Siegemasters.

Since I’m sure you’ve all been good Persons To Whom It May Concern*?

Have some pics from the original Adeptus Titanicus rulebook.







*See, inclusion is easy!

Geeeeeentle flex.

Found in my Epic Space Marine Box. Will carefully think about painting it up. The guns are glued in, but it’s otherwise in perfect condition.

That's about the size of a modern Warhound, isn't it?

Possibly a smidge smaller! Currently the only Titan I own, so can’t offer a direct comparison.

I got my first Epic miniatures a year ago. To commemorate, here's a photograph of everything I have painted since then.

Impressive work Sigkill!

Finished my first Whirlwind Battery;


Which gives my first finished formation of the 8 in my TS army;

Good stuff, sigkill and ingtaer.

Ran an ongoing E:A demo table at a local youth convention with a friend, Minervans vs Night Lords (using Space Wolf rules). We kept the game rolling for something like ten rounds and threw in more reserve formations from random table edges when previous ones died off or players changed. Overall Guard dominance, as the lighter Astartes elements struggled to hurt the heavier engines.

Should have faced Dark Mech today, but as my opponent misplaced their minis in transit, we ended up playing a little 2k NetEA GT exercise between my guardsmen instead. Gracious complimenting of each other's ability to hit a lot of trees was had.






I really enjoyed playing on this table.

Meanwhile, actual WIPs for a change. First session on the next mechanised company, base colours down before edges, lights, damages, pigments and the rest.

Love the scheme and the execution.

Cheers Doc, hopefully finished soon.

Meanwhile, another battle report for a change!

Epic: Armageddon, 4k NetEA lists, Imperial Fists vs. Minervan tank legion.
Fanatic magazine, 'Siegeline' scenario.

SETUP AND OBJECTIVES:
Achtung, Panzer! The armoured might of Selen II's PDF is about to crash into a well-prepared line held by the Imperial Fists, with one half of the table holding six objectives behind a wide double-layered trench as well as some minefields and fortifications. The attacking force must constantly gain and hold more objectives round after round or their assault stalls (2+ on the third turn, 3+ on the fourth and so on just to keep the game going, with a sudden victory available should they manage to snatch 4+ of them early on). The defenders have deployed their garrisonable footsluggers and field guns on the lines, rest of their forces waking to the summons as the turns go by.

Another mechanised company's worth added to the tank fleet today. Tried out AP's matt varnish from a rattlecan compared to my usual brush-applied Vallejo stuff and holy moly did it ever eat away some of the look. The NMM on the steel bits and fluo paints on the lights took the most heat from it, losing a lot of their contrast and brightness. Got to remember that going forwards.
