Nice :)

You are going to end up with a proper playable army soon.
=D>
The Mk1 Predator - give it a few more black spots on the turret and it could be a really aggresive ladybird.
I'm hopless at SF vehicles. I always want some jazzy paint scheme like that but then ruin it.
Possibly by adding black spots and pretending its a really aggresive ladybird.

If you count strike cruisers, I can do 4000 points now, just got to paint it (and rebuild a mk1 titan).
They are nice.
Got a few of those Epic thingys meself, haven't got the first idea about what they are called apart from the 'Rhino' so slowly giving the whole lot a new colourflage paint job, will put up some pics when done.

Very tasty! And they shall know no fear.

Buying it is only the first stage!
Painting it is quite significant- but pretty quick for epic. Although all those details you are adding will take time!
See what you mean, four assault stands painted in an hour and a half tonight!
Not a recent paint job but ... can you tell what they are yet? :)
(http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w669/ithoriel/6mm%20SciFi/Not%20Dredd%20001_zpswnbr8qwt.jpg)
Look like Judge Dredd type figures ?
(Said he, guessing wildly.)
Cheers - Phil
Like those Ithorial!
Not a clue what they are, but they look nice.
MickS
Alternate armies "Lawgivers" methinks. 15mm Sci-Fi
IanS
"I can't believe it's not Dredd!". All the buttery goodness of real Dredd with none of the artery clogging IP costs.
Very tasty - what's the middle infantry stand though, I just can't make it out properly - some sort of heavy weapon or Riot Foam projector?
Im liking the Dredd figures, are they 15mmlike Ian suggests, I thought they looked like 6mm?
6mm GW Epic 40K Imperial Guard - back when they WERE Imperial Guard and not the "Astra Militarum."
Mainly just a paint job though the Judge in the centre of the command stand has an eagle from a standard top added to his helmet. His gun is just a typical GW hugely oversized pistol.
The figure in the centre of the leftmost rear infantry unit is supposed to have a Riot Foam launcher.
The two infantry stands on the right are armed with shock rods and riot shields, the latter just being slivers of plasticard.
Somewhere there are Gorgon transports for them too. Bulldozer blades are ideal for removing rioting crowds!
Like these ... but blue :)

Thank you.
The bikes are from the same plastic set as the guardsmen.

Cool - I've not seen them in IG armies. They may have disappeared over the years from the lists.
Cor, I remember that era of Epic, and would never have twigged! Amazing what a paint job can do :D
Try again...

THREAD NECROMANCY!!! =P~
Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know.
So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm.
