Hmmm.. yes I kind of get that Although they are fantastically painted (might be the photo?)

There was a photo of a massive gingerbread dreadnought doing the rounds on the Oldhammer social media so perhaps that's why? (And I guess it is that time of year, nothing wrong with Yuletide Adeptus Mechanicus, bringing Christmas cheer in the name of the Omnissiah! )

I have painted up some more Cyclone missile launcher terminators including a command team for my Great Crusade-era World Eaters so that they can be used with Imperius Dominatus.



If anyone is interested this is one of the unit cards for that game, technically this is meant to be an Ultramarines unit, but some enterprising commander of the World Eaters fancied the ideas of cracking walls open before you try and assault them so borrowed the concept.

Really like the cards they remind me of Space Marine 2nd edition cards (should see some of the Grand Company formations, they are ridiculous!)

Well my next project is well underway. My iyanden wraith army-

Seriously i should have done this a long time ago, i have now built pretty well all of my dream 40K armies in epic scale that i never could have done otherwise.

So far i have finished

30 wraithguard (5 man teams so they can fit in wave serpents)
X3 fire prisms
X3 fighters

In the mail

revenant titan
.scorpion superheavy tank

Last bits i need-
Waiting for vanguard to re-open ordering so i can finish with the farseer on a bike, wraith seers and the 6 wave serpents i need.


pictures-"soon"

This thread is a treasure trove! I had been checking out Vanguard minis. Do they scale well with AT stuff? Seems to look pretty good in the pictures here.

Infantry scales perfectly, although the not orks (skinners) and the not marines (novan elites) are bigger than the Epic equivalents... but then again, they needed to.

Vehicles are generally bigger than Epic, but that's because Epic vehicles are generally too small for the size they were supposed to be.

So yeah, pretty much no problem. They work perfectly well side by side.

Yeah go back and look at my pic with the vanguard leman russes/preators/macharius's with the AT reaver titan for scale(i extended the torso a bit on the reaver to fit in a magnet).
for simplicity sake to keep the game moving, our group has been using 8th ed index era lists and pretty well forgo most stratagems aside from re-rolls we down scale to rerpresent the size difference by halving all the ranges for movement and weapons.

But other systems work just as well rather it be the actual epic rules or down scaling the new apocalypse rules.

As Albertorius already said, they luckily enough scale perfectly. Thing with the old Epic miniatures was that scale wise they were all over the place. Titans and aircraft were closer to 3mm scale, stuff like the Capitol Imperialis were probably 1-2mm scale. Vehicles such as Rhino's were closer to 4mm scale than 6mm scale. And then there's the typical problem of Space Marines being way too small compared to regular humans. Heck, even the current 40k suffers from this, and if Titanicus is supposed to be 1/4th of 40k, they will most likely suffer the same problem when GW decides to bring back Epic!

Pretty tempting to do up a Steel Legion and Ork force with a centrepiece titan, not gonna lie!

DO IT!

It is like 1/4 of what it would take to do it cost wise in 28mm, there is very little assembly and painting is easy.

Transport is super easy as well. not to mention between vanguard, onlsaught, trolls under the bridge (for necrons) you get to use all the fancy forgeworld units in epic scale as well.

Combine that with AT and AI and pretty much everything is covered.

Or go 3mm scale if youd want to reuse your old school Titans and aircraft models.

I think I like the 6mm scale for painting and feel. And those new titans are really lovely models.

Mainly a whole load of nobz, much killier than regular boyz, as long as they connect. Assault 4 and Save makes them very fearsome, for 14 points a base.

I do like how the Boss ended up looking:
