EPIC Squats marching to war

Well, at least marching onto the painting table (at the end of a long line). Basing, stripping and green stuff work completed for the Squats. Now there is just that minor detail of painting them.

Top row from left: The heavy war engines (Cyclops, Colossus, Leviathan, 2 Land Trains with carts) and a Brotherhood with Termite Tunnelers

Middle row from left: Berzerker with two Mole tunellers, a squadron of Robots and a Brotherhood with Spartan Rhinos.

Bottom row from left: Twelve Thunderers and the Living Ancestor.


Top row from left: 18 Mole Mortars, 3 Goliath (1 inbound from Ebay) and 2 Thunderfire AA guns (4 more inbound from Ebay).

Middle row from left: 18 Thudd Guns, 6 Rapiers, three squadrons of 6 Bikers and 6 Exo Armour Bikers.

Bottom row from left: 6 Iron Eagle flyers, 2 Overlord Airships, 12 Trikes, and the “bike masters” (2 with masters on bikes, 1 on trike).

This is pretty much everything available in the various Squat lists and comes to a grand total around 10,000 points. I just received the remaining parts for 6 Hearthguard bases and 6 Exo-Armour bases. Those will join the ranks shortly.

Epic Adeptus Mechanicus

The protectors of Mars, worshippers of the Machine God: Adeptus Mechanicus is ready for painting.

The infantry models are a mix of TacComs custom sculpts and DRM Industrial Infantry. The guns and Gorgons are Otterware. My goal for the AdMech army was to avoid painting another Imperial Guard force. I am therefore using different models for all the artillery options and have focused on unique AdMech units. All artillery is basically static (pulled by the little Otterware tracks for visual effect). This contrasts them nicely with the self-propelled Imperial Guard artillery.

The core are four Skitarii formations with some Thudd Gun support and some Praetorians in Gorgons. Two of the Skitarii formations can be mounted in Chimeras (not pictured). The little pile on the bottom left are DRM Scout Buggies that I will use as Sentinels.

The more interesting tray has all the toys. On the top we have various Knights (still looking for the missing Knight types). Above are six Macharius heavy tanks  and two Ordinati Majoris on the right (third one in transit from Ebay). On the middle left are the legs for two Warhound Titants, one Warlord Titan and a Reaver Titan. Bottom left are 6 Basilisk (Otterware), 6 Bombards (Otterware), 3 Manticore platforms (Forge World) and 3 Hydra Platforms (Forge World). The little tankette tracks are just for visual effect (I imaging them pulling the fixed artillery).

Using the War Griffons list this totals to about 11,000 points (with the Titans).

Epic Eldar Muster

My Epic Eldar army is ready for painting except some undercoating. I am still undecided on paint scheme. My instinct is to go with the purple and bone scheme that I used for my 40k Eldar (and BFG fleet). I can’t find a good way to highlight purple at an Epic scale though. For BFG I just drybrush and the 40k models were large enough for manual highlighting. I would rather not do that on a 6mm scale. We will see if inspiration strikes me.

The core of the army are the Guardians with five formations including 8 support weapons. All models are new style Games Workshop. I scraped together 7 Wraithguard bases, 6 Vibro Cannon support platforms and 12 Ranger bases. On the top right are the Wraithgate and a painted objective (a statue though it looks a bit flat from this angle).

The Aspect Warriors are next. This basically a full 8 base unit for each Aspect in existance (Howling Banshee, Striking Scorpion, Dark Reaper, Warp Spider, Dire Avenger, Fire Dragons, Shining Spears, Swooping Hawks). Each formation has two Exarchs and there is a separate Autarch as well. On the right side are (from the top) 12 Warwalker, 3 Wraithlords and three squadrons of 6 Jetbikes each.

Finally the toys. Top left are the Engines of Vaul with two Scorpions, two Cobras, two Storm Serpents and a lonely Void Spinner. Then two Revenant Titans (a Phantom and Warlock Titan aren’t pictured). On the right top are the flyers: 2 Vampires, 3 Phoenix and 3 Nightwings. A few Vypers and the Avatar are in the middle.

Bottom row are Falcons, Wave Serpents and the specialist tanks on the right (Doom Weaver, Fire Prisms and Firestorms).

All in this comes to about 10,500 points and should have all units at reasonable quantities for a 3k-5k game.

Tzeentch Altar of Chaos

Master Tzeentch has provided. A nice platform of power to guide the way for the minions of the Changer.

The model is a kit bash of old 40k parts and some new architecture bitz.

Tzeentch Covens

As promised, here are some pics of the finished Tzeentchian core: Two covens and some fire support. The models are a blend of corrupted Imperial Guard infantry, Chaos Marines, Flamers and Cultists.

ToEG LatD February Update

Well, February was the month of “almost done”. I started off relatively strong with the last Iron Warrior models and then everything fell apart.

I almost finished:

Tzeentch flyers (but ran out of Asuremen Blue wash)
Slaneesh Knights/Titants (but ran out of Leviathan Purple Wash)
Khorne Transports (but ran out … no wait, I just ran out of time with these… finished the conversion and basecoat though)

I did get something done though. A somewhat disappointing 1600 points, but still better than nothing:

Iron Warriors:
2 Hell Talons – 300 points
1 Iron Cult Objective

Slaneesh:
1 Slaneesh Altar – 150 points

Tzeentch (pics to follow in the next few days – these were a “weekend sprint”):
24 Cultists with command (2 covens) – 400 points
4 Traitor Fire Support – 100 points
1 Altar of Chaos – 150 points
4 Traitor Sentinels – 100 points
4 Silver Towers – 325 points

Oh, and I finished lots and lots of terrain bitz so that I can finally finish up some of the Mordheim buildings.

Imperial Guard Group Shot

This is how a completed army looks like 🙂

Click on pics for bigger versions. Top tray are the core elements, bottom tray are the specialists. Top tray:

Left column, front to back: Regimental HQ with Snipers (nope, they wouldn’t be fielded that way…), Infantry Company, Fire Support and Ogryn squads with transports

Middle column, front to back: Infantry Company, Rough Rider Company, Hell Hounds and Salamander

Right column, front to back: Vanquishers, two Tank Companies, Demolishers, Executioners

Bottom Tray:

Left column, front to back: Super Heavy Tanks (4 Baneblades, 2 Shadowswords, 1 Stormhammer), Deathstrike Missile Launcher, Objectives, Bunkers

Middle left column, front to back: Basilisk Company, Bombards, Manticores, Hydra Flak Company

Middle right column, front to back: Storm Trooper, Valkyries, Vultures, Thunderbolts, Marauder Bomber

Right column, front to back: Objective, Sentinels, Leviathan

Comes to about 9800 points total. And there is absolutely nothing left to paint for this army, unless I stumble upon a Capitol Imperialis at a reasonable cost at some point.

And their big brothers from the Warhammer 40k cabinet. This was actually my very first 40k army. The infantry models are all from the old Rogue Trader plastic kit, so much of this stuff is close to two decades old. The Baneblade is from Armorcast.

Ork Group Shot

The Green Horde in all its completed glory. A solid 12885 points of greenish glow. The trays are occupied by Clan, so we have:

Top tray, left: Bad Moon Clan with lots of Nobz, a Big Mob, many Big Gun formations with Mekboyz, a dozen Gun Wagons including Wierdboy Towers, and a Stompa Mob with Supa Stompa

Top tray, middle: Blood Axe Clan with Stormboyz, a Mob, Kommandoes and Objective

Top tray, right: Goff Clan with Stompas, a Huge Mob with Dreadnoughts and Kans, and a dozen Gun Wagons

Bottom tray, left: Evil Sunz Clan with Bikes, LOTS of Buggies, Wartracks and Scorchas, some Deathkoptas, a dozen Gun Wagons, Gargant, Fighta-Bombas, Landa and Objective

Botom tray, right: Deathskullz Clan with a Huge Mob, Battle Wagons, Stompa Mob with Supa Stompa, a dozen Gun Wagons, Flak Wagons, two Gun Fortresses, a Battle Fortress, Objective and Great Gargant

Hidden at the back of the tray are the Snakebite Clan Boar Boyz, Squiggoth and Squig Catapults (in the middle)

My 40k Ork horde is still unpainted, so I added a snapshot of their less technologically advanced cousins from the Warhammer world instead. This was my very first Warhammer army (and thus first miniature army at all). From the glory days of 1988 to 1992. They actually got replaced by my first wave of interest in Epic in the early 90’s (a huge collection that I regrettably sold at the end of the 90’s – only to slowly buy everything back at inflated prices now 😦 ).
