Hey everyone, I've only just recently joined up, its great to see such an active forum and one that caters for my passion for Epic. I bought a copy of Epic: 40,000 when it was first released, enjoyed a few games of it and then moved on to 'regular' 40K when E:40K was shelved. However I loved the grand scope that Epic gave- boards representing miles of plains, where you could have towering mountains, winding rivers and roads, and huge skyscraper-type buildings. I especially loved the GW imagery of the time- the huge towering fortresses built into hills, towering cliff faces, all mainly on a sea of bright green grass. Epic for me is a step back for the uber-realistic 'grimdark', to a simpler time where paintjobs were bright and heraldry was abundant.
Anyhow, reminiscing notwithstanding, i've decided to get stuck back into Epic, and have started to resurrect my old E:40K minis- the marines are in a bath of simple green at current- so iIve now begun to construct some terrain. I decided to start with some small (but characterful) pieces that could be used for terrain and double as an objective point as well. To that end i spent about an hour last night building this workshop using some 40K bitz- mainly IG and SM, and composed primarily from a Stormraven hurricane bolter pod. I also cut up a Spare missile I had of undetermined lineage- this made the waste drum by the front door nad the two drums out near the power generator, which is a cut-and-shut IG vehicle heavy flamer. I put it all on a thin 2.5'/ 60mm plastic base, and will be hitting it with some fine grade sand and talus soon.
Anyhow, less waffling, more pics.

I suppose this could double as a bunker as well- the power generator could be a shield generator as well?
Will have some more pics up soon of my other works in progress, hoping to have this one painted up soon as well.
Cheers,
Tempest
