A Lesser Son of Greater Fathers: Dabbling in Epic

[Brother Pheidias]

I think your blue man group deserves a Fellblade, though the Skulltakers sound very enticing too!

Finally caught up on this. Damn, you've done a good job here.

[Fenbain]

Really excited for whenever the next update will be :-)

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Well. It's been a while...

[Morngrym]

Well. It's been a while...

 

 

Welcome back, this has always been one of my favorite threads!  

[BadgersinHills]

I was really surprised when I saw an update on this thread, welcome back! I really love this thread. :) 

[Pearson73]

I was just thinking about this thread the other day, very happy to see it back in action!

[Grim Dog Studios]

Great to see you back mate! Still some my favourite Ultramarines to draw inspiration from!

[deathspectersgt7]

Took me awhile to read thru acouple years of threads. Welcome back.

[Brother Dallo]

Likewise.

 

I recall reading through this thread and being really inspired by it all those years ago.

 

Don’t think I ever commented on it.

 

Nice to see you back.

 

Keep at it.

Thanks, guys. I'm honoured + surprised in equal measure anyone remembers me - seems like 3 years since I was last around here. Real life happened, plus fantasy wargaming grabbed me in a big way, so the recent return to 30k is something of a surprise. Hoping to add a couple squads to the XIII Legion from my old bits box, probably not a lot more than that.

I did throw together the first half of a 20-legionary tactical squad - with a close-up shot of the Sergeant, Vexillifer and Vox specialist. Victrix's Early Imperial Roman Legionary plastic set is a godsend for XIII Legion players!

These gents are looking amazing mate. Great builds!

[BadgersinHills]

Looking amazing! The use of the historical minis bits is so nice. I've been thinking about using some historical shields for World Eaters/Space Wolves. The Vexilla bearer is a great conversion, where are the resin bits from? 

[Pearson73]

Really nice details and parts on the sergeant and vox officer.

[Monstra Sumus]

Excellent to see another old face return. Just came back myself with a Marines Malevolent revival.

 

I always enjoyed your models and it's a shame we never did get that Warhammer World game in before I moved to the U.S!

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Thanks for the welcome back chaps. Still not quite 'back' in the swing of 30k (or 40k for that matter), but it's a nice trip down memory lane.

Cheers, it seems to suit the Heresy aesthetic really well. The resin bits, as far as I remember, are from the WHW-exclusive Command Land Raider.

Got all the tacticals + dreadnought ready for basecoating:

Haven't really been feeling 30k for...well, years now, but on the spur of the moment the other day a friend got me into Epic and kindly donated a load of minis. I faffed around a bit with a quick speed paint and a few minutes later I had a tactical detachment painted up.

I really enjoyed the couple quick games of Epic I played, so who knows, could be a fun project to get into.

 

 

[Disruptor_fe404]

An Arkhan update! These look good, bud! Does GW actually produce the models for Epic, or is it a cool third-party thing?

Enjoying the gameplay certainly helps with motivation, speaking as someone who's on the other end of the spectrum right now (haven't really felt like playing at all and thus haven't painted anything this year).
