Thanks chaps. No fear of anything getting lost, I have a full copy of the old site backed up locally. Re: new content. I may be pursuing other scales/manufacturers these days, but Epic is very much in my DNA so sooner or later it always rotates back into my hobby focus.

| Gosh! Probably over-stating my painting capability a bit, but flattered nevertheless so thank you. Just to allay fears in case anyone is of the belief I'm deleting dropship.org.uk and packing in the hobby altogether, nothing could be further from the truth. I'm probably more active now that I have b... |

| Guys, just to let you know I am wrapping this up now as I achieved the target I set out to hit back in November of 4700 points. The last detachment and objective are up on the blog along with a bit of commentary of where I will be going Epic wise from here. The last detachment is: Scouts http://drop... |

| Stunning. The three things that really make those Super Heavies stand out for me are: 1. The effective use of the restricted palette and the washes. Together it creates a highly effective and natural weathered effect. Love that. 2. The use of the brass etched icons on the front armour, very nice. 3.... |

| Any chance of a single model stage by stage tutorial sometime? I'll see what I can do. I have actually just cleared the workbench of a Dreadball team and the Epic you just saw, so it is pretty good timing as I haven't actually started on the next mob yet. more awesomeness!! love it all, the only th... |

| What is the "dirty white" that you're using (or the technique to build it up?) I'm thinking about doing something in a similar scheme to your apothecary rhino, and have been looking at different white techniques but haven't settled on anything yet. It is Astronomicon Grey followed by a co... |

| Also, the Apothecary rhino has a weird blending to it - in the photo, it looks like bleached denim from the 80s! (I'm sure that is the way I'm looking at the photo though, and not the actual paintjob.) ;D Yes, I thought that looking at it. I'm happy to confirm it is one of those odd tricks eyes pla... |

| Short and sweet post as it's all a bit manic tonight. Just the one new addition this week in the form of a second Tactical Detachment. Nothing exciting I'm afraid, just an Apothecary and more core troops to bulk out the centre. http://dropshipstudio.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/umwc-tactical2-01.jpg?... |

| Fabulous and fast! I love it! I must say your scout titans' colours look familiar. Legio Ignatum? If so, it's the same colour scheme I'm painting mine :D Thanks man. Yes, the colours are Fire Wasps. I chose Ignatum because the colours contrast nicely with the blue and white of the Ultramarines. Tha... |

Not quite finished as I would like to add a further highlight pass over the Jetbikes and Speeders, as well as a massive 'banner' push on all the Titans to date. http://dropshipstudio.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/umwc-jetbikes.jpg?w=700 To get me over the next stretch targ... |

| Thanks guys. Can we have some more detail on how you achieved the smoke effect on the drop pods as I am thinking of doing something similar with mine. It is clumping (the green foam foliage you stick on tree armatures). I just dot superglue onto the flight stands and stick patches of it on to achiev... |

| Thanks guys, the support is amazing and appreciated. So, on to another update. As the two bike detachments were nowhere near enough to get me even close to that 2500 points target. I have added a Land Speeder formation. http://dropshipstudio.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/umwc-speeders-01.jpg?w=700 A D... |
