Thanks guys - it was a good game.

Random epic stuff in progress, some Marine bikes, that need re-basing. Some Tyranid Gargoyles, that are done via the last bit of basing. And work on some Trygons - which still need a bone colour on their armour plates.



And just in the picture some the Pendraken Barricades - how are people painting the box like things on these? Are they meant to be boxes, or something else?

Got a bunch of 1/300 WarPac bits from H&R to convert up some of my banana marines



Small twin rocket launchers for the skimmers, big triple rockets launchers for the Rhinos, and bulldozer blades for Vindicators.

Various detailing added the rockets and bikes - helps to break up the yellow.

Nice stuff Fred you are giving me an epic itch. Need to finish my chaos and IG at some point.

Also if you run out of Rhinos or Land raiders or if any of your gaming buddies want some Ork battlewagons PM me. Got a few gathering dust and in need of a good home.

More Epic, Nids vs Marines and Sisters of Battle.

The Nids were rather scared of the Sisters, and a lot of their troops concentrated on my flank - which allowed the Sisters to smash the Nids on their flank, and then swing round to help me out. In the end we managed to hold all 3 of the objectives.

Thanks guys, it was a good game - looking at those photos I think I need some new bases for trees and other scatter terrain, the bits of funky foam, while functional, look a bit rubbish in photos.

Got some new deliveries at the weekend - more epic stuff, but from Vanguard miniatures. And got all of it sprayed and at least one colour on - lots of rain is good for painting!

Got a bit of detailing on the support aircraft and the not terminators tonight




At the weekend I also did a bit of (limited) sorting as I had bought a few more really useful boxes, so shuffled trays around to try to put the same era stuff in the same box. Found a fair bit of stuff that was rather forgotten. And then as I had discovered piles of stuff, bought a load of Pendraken stuff to add to the lead pile  :D This is mainly stuff for Irregular wars - mainly various pike and shot troops to make some European factions, and some Scots to allow my Jacobean ones to be used a bit earlier.

I'm getting more jealous of your retired guys being able to game lots.
