They're really cute! (Although I'm sure wouldn't be if I were only 6mm tall)

Thanks Pacific, here's a view of a grunt in the trenches as they come

You know, this was one of those days I realize I am an idiot. Life tends to be easier when you use proper tools and taking pictures of very small models might work out better if using a macro objective in the camera. Derp.








Also, razorwire and dragon's teeth on sticks ready to be thrown around the field.

Fantastic - that definitely looks more formidable at that range! And amazing detail work again for that scale.

I love the razorwire and dragon's teeth.

Are you building up a mars/red sand-type battleground for these guys to play on?

Not really, I feel the red sand to be rather overused of late and rather specific to particular places. I'm more familiar with pine woods, which can offer a wide variety of browns, greens and reds like here:



The ones shown above are pretty easy to slot onto various brownish battle mats, like the ubiqutous Fallout Zone I also happen to own.

I promise to paint some actually new models soon, but I had to take a few scale shots for a friend. Who knew, titans look like quite big machines when there's infantry around

It really makes a great difference. Hence why I like AT, but I like the look of Epic that much more.

Sometimes I just have Epic forces on the table while playing AT, it's a visual spectacle after all.

We just use our AT and AI minis when we play epic scale using the index 8th ed rules at half ranges so it is just a spectacle all around

Nice table aphyon. Can I ask where you got the factories and those blade runner style buildings from (the ones with the gold hexagons on)?

i have a load of the old JR miniatures terrain...unfortunately they are no longer around (that would be the ones with gold) one of the guys who used to be with them started novus design studio. he does the factories and ruins among other things.

the gothic 40K buildings are from gregsters lab unfortunately only in 3mm that i could find but they still look close enough

The resin monpoc terrain buildings from privateer press is also nice.

My favorite though is brigade models from the UK-very affordable with a great selection and quality in micro scale, 6mm(epic/battletech scale), 10mm and 15mm

Something big yet tiny today, painted the Ordinatus up finally. Party hard with all the noise!

Ohohohoh, looking nice

Wow that looks amazing! That's one of the nicest gold rim jobs I have ever seen

...I shall get my mind out of the gutter soon, but thanks, the trim really makes the look

Ahahaha xD

...say, orks were in 30k, right? Would it be a problem if I put here some orky goodness?

Only one of the largest ork WAAAGHS! in history (later compared to the war of the beast and the 3rd war for armageddon) that required the emperor himself and no less than 3 primarchs as i recall to put down on ullanor....then the mechanicus used the telliporter to move the planet and rename it armageddon and the orks have been trying to get it back ever since.

So you're saying that it would be OrK, right?

Well then ^^

I've been starting to experiment with remixing some ork infantry. This is where I'm at, right now:



I'm thinking I should probably try to thicken the legs and the axes' handles, at least. But detail wise, they look incredible, IMHO.

I also made two Battle Fortresses, and I've just painted one:

Orks are always fine regardless of when it's supposed to be, the galaxy wasn't all power armour ;P

Wow those are so cute Orks Albertorius - can I ask where you got those from ?

I'm making them ^^. Or rather, I'm modding some old school ork models I found on Thingiverse to use for Epic.

Weeee! The start of my Waaagh!



Pretty standard and old school, plust trying to save some Ebay exiles.

Thanks for the info Albertorius

I am still searching for somewhere to print some files (as I don't have a printer myself) - hopefully find somewhere before too long.

Great to see an Ork army in the works! There are a fair few of those tanks about on eBay (I think thanks to the previous Titan Legions boxset) so they are usually pretty reasonably priced.

I've managed to get hold of some more Vanguard 'Novan Elite' special and heavy weapons. Am basically upgrading existing units so they can be used in Imperium Dominatus as well as Epic Armageddon - finally managed to get some of those bloody rectangular bases, which come in and then seem to go out of stock like tickets for a Pink Floyd reunion gig!

That's a swanky waaagh of sweet rides, especially loving the little Rhino body with more mass in the roller tacked onto it

I forgot to post this earlier. i picked up this fantastic mars factory map from gamematEU. it is a special propriety map and they only sell it in the 6X4 but the scaling on the roads makes it usable in 6mm scale.

It is rather nice, yes. I've occasionally used parts of it for photo manipulations, those industrial bases work well for many purposes.

Moar!



First Vultaraxii hit the field, as well as one rather tendrite-heavy magos.

Very nice!

I don't know what that thing is, but I know I am terrified of it (even at 6mm scale!)

That looks indeed suitably terrifying

Worry not, for everything is under control!

Now put down your guns and let daddy magos experiment on you for a bit...

It's the 6mm scale version of kawl
