It's been a while since i posted something new, and it has everything to do with a box i was given by my friend at work. It's the old 3rd edition epic starter set! I already owned some marines and orks, and putting them togheter i made two armies of about 1250 points. I've already begun painting my marines, setting them up as marauders, a succesor chapter of the white scars. the box the stuff a 28mm mini in the marauder colour scheme from gw site marine armour detachment my converted hq with hero (techmarine) on bikes. Very fiddly to convert this scale the raiders their cargo of termies and whirlwind support « Last Edit: Oct 11, 2012, 4:28pm by Peter Cooman » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment BG.

Problem with my earlier stuffis that my conversion skills then busted up a lot of stuff, And the use of worse (read cheaper) materials made some things irreversibly unusable.

Or i will set your mom loose on your titan again It's actually not that hard. They benefit from washes and drybrushing a lot more then normal 40k models though!! The stompas are actually not that smaller than a guardsmen, i guess they are about 25 mm. Detail is smaller that's for sure. The grots are the size of a guard frag grenade and the terminators are about the size of a canteen. « Last Edit: Mar 10, 2012, 4:02pm by Peter Cooman » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment Peter Cooman Warmaster member is offline Blessed is the mind too small for doubt Joined: Oct 2011 Gender: Male Posts: 673 Re: epic 40k (stompa mob 10/03/12) « Reply #13 on Mar 14, 2012, 7:01pm » Ok double post, but it's an update so i guess it's ok.

Right now we all tkae multipose for granted, but there was a time you had one pose metal sculpts, and that was all you had. Compare the termies to this guy, you'll be amazed how good they look resized in 6 mm « Last Edit: Mar 15, 2012, 2:44pm by Peter Cooman » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment Machine Gun Kelly WARLORD Suffering from random moments of sanity member is offline STOP TOUCHING ME!

I have already obtained some trough trades ( chimera's , hellhounds, demolishers and basilisks) and am looking to get some stuff from forgeworld in the form of their shadowswords and hydra's. I also traded some thunderbolts and marauders thanks to emptyhat and foster I also bought about 10 stands worth of bikes and 6 speeders on ebay. It's for my main unit, a speedy 15-16 stand bike force with land speeder support. Now the reasoning after this is that i will not use imperial titans. My space marine force is a white scar succesor chapter, and is thus by default a fast moving force. i cannot imagine titans keeping up with that. So i want some shadowswords for the big guns . I also just love the forgeworld shadowswords. Sadly, as i can't get my guard or my dwarfs sold, the funds are lacking. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Epic-40000/E....AN-HUNTERS.html « Last Edit: Mar 15, 2012, 4:01pm by Peter Cooman » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment Peter Cooman Warmaster member is offline Blessed is the mind too small for doubt Joined: Oct 2011 Gender: Male Posts: 673 Re: epic 40k (ruins 14/03/12) « Reply #20 on Mar 15, 2012, 7:04pm » Double post again, but as it's an update it's ok Just finished my next ruins, will make some more to bring my ruined city in a nice square.

Instead of a road i made two modules involving larger buildings, and a reason why the city is in ruins. I made a big crater in the main building ( town hall if you like), and put some rusty metal in it (the projectile). I assume it comes from a large projectile with a small blast radius but a big enough shockwave to level the city. I'm gonna call it deathstrike city. @ Cosmic: Thank!!! I'm thinking of painting the road between the buildings, where the wirhlwinds are in the last picture of the occupied city. @ Pyrotechnics: It's actually not so hard though. they benefit from a simple paintjob in striking colours. Last pic is of my new recruits fresh from ebay, marine bikes,speeders and guard bikes. « Last Edit: Mar 18, 2012, 7:21am by Peter Cooman » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment emptyhat WARLORD member is offline Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,390 Location: Gillitie Wood Re: epic 40k (deathstrike city 18/03/12) « Reply #24 on Mar 18, 2012, 10:00am » The ruin with the crater is pretty cool.
