Regular Hearthguard. I mixed them with the excessive quantity of standard bearers (surplus from needing multiple boxes of Squats to get any list formation done).
The Squats have become numerous enough to deserve their own page (under Games & Armies\Epic Armageddon\Squats): https://wargamingworkshop.wordpress.com/games-armies/epic-armageddon/squats/ I will finish up the page as they get completed.
Now that the Epic Chaos armies are completed, I am going to build display bases for them. I am using the same general approach as for the Flames of War base document here. I am using the same black frame (I have 50 of them, custom made to fit into the display cabinet – many more bases to come!). It’s taped off in the picture to protect the gloss finish until everything is done. So far I have created the back walls out of MDF and filled in the elevation levels with dense foam. The MDF walls give a clean finish and protect the edge of the foam in the elevated rear section.
The pic below shows the status so far with the Nurgle army set up. That step is essential as most of my armies are large enough that they just barely fit onto a full base (some need two bases). Click on the pic for a larger version. The base will have a tiered rocky hill at the back and a river running down the hill (probably a waterfall), with extensions going into a triangle shape towards the front corners. It will be a slime river of course… The shape is a play on the Nurgle symbol. I don’t have enough space make three large lakes in a triangle (the actual three-dot Nurgle symbol). So the rivers effectively subdivide the army into three blocks in the right configuration.
Next step is to cover the surface in magnetic sheet (to hold the models in place – everything has a metal base). Afterwards I will add moulded rocks to the cliffs and start the spackle work for all the cracks.
Short guys in big armour. Now the only infantry left are the regular Hearthguard and the Robots. Getting close!
The last of the crazy bikers. Mighty Hearthguard Bikers (available in one of the Squat Stronghold fan lists).
Two squadrons of Trikes with a Guildmaster on Trike. Vroooommmm
The Engineering Guild has arrived. Three squadrons of Bikers led by two Guildmasters (one of the Squat fan lists allows for Leader upgrades). The Guildmaster models are a minor conversion of the Hearthguard Bikes with the front end cut down to resemble a traditional bike.
And even more light artillery. Two Grand Batteries of Thudd Guns. Drilling out barrels was a pain at this quantity…
Drumroll……
DONE!
The very last model of this ToEG project is completed. A mighty Tzeentch Banelord Titan.
The project lasted exactly one year (well, 48 hours are left) and led to about 27500 points of painted Epic Chaos goodness. That’s 653 models ranging from lowly Chaos Hounds up to mighty Titans. Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Slaneesh and the Undivided Lords of Iron all had their share of the bounty. It has been a joy to work on this project. I shall build a few display bases and add final army shots when those are done.
Two Grand Batteries of Mole Mortars. You can never have enough light artillery, right? The Hazard Stripes were done with a thin ink pen.
