EPIC UK are proud to present...
An EPIC Display at Warhammer World (miniatures gallery).
Yes indeedly, earlier this year EPIC UK was approached by Games Workshop to host an exhibition of the best EPIC tournament armies seen at EPIC UK events. This was a difficult call; with only 5 shelves how were we ever going to put all the fantastically painted EPIC armies, seen at EPIC UK tournaments, in the exhibition?
Long nights of talks were held at EPIC UK towers; allot of pacing and arguments broke out until we made our decision. The armies finally chosen for display were:
Ryan Downes - The Lost and the Damned
Kevin Bott - Army of the Imperium
Matt Arnold - Imperial Guard
Joe Jephison - Eldar
Damian Bradley - Siege Masters
(Backup) Matthew Otter - Space Marines
Unfortunately Damian Bradley couldn't make it so Matthew Otter's Space Marine army stepped in.
The display is on until early September and it's well worth going to. Hopefully this will encourage new EPIC players and also let all the old EPIC veterans see that there is a tournament scene within the UK. There is also a little bit about EPIC UK with the display:
EPIC Armageddon gives you command over a mightily army of the 41st millennium, using miniatures at a smaller scale than the Warhammer 40,000 system. Although smaller just as much effort goes into Epic miniatures. In fact their scale makes conversion work and painting more challenging! Having seen some great armies at a recent event, we invited EPIC UK to show us what it's all about.
"Why do we love EPIC Armageddon? Well because we think it's the best wargame Games Workshop have ever produced of course! Where else do you get to game with hundreds of infantry, tanks, titans and aircraft all on a 6ft board?
Ever since Epic Armageddon came out tournaments have been played throughout the UK, but being independently run few people found out about them. This is where EPIC UK stepped in, in January 2009;
We're an organisation set up by Epic gamers, for Epic gamers. Welcoming veterans and encouraging people who want to know more we have a website with a tournament calendar, tournament rules and much more ... pop along to http://www.epic-uk.co.uk to have a look.
Trust me ... you'll never look back!"

EPIC UK have been in talks with Games Workshop to see if we can hold another EPIC display in the future and it all looks hopeful; hopefully this means we can display armies like Chris Steel's Orks or Space Marines, Alan Saunders Orks and many many others.
