Thanks, Stormwind!
So here is the current state of my force. At this point, I need to admit that I've never played epic armegedon so I could use some pointers on how best to turn this into a playable fun 2000-3000 point force. I fully expect I will need to print another 10 or so russes to make a tank legion for example, but I feel like I've reached a point where I need to decide a direction before spamming out another dozen random vehicles, no matter how tempting!
So my current "collection" consists of:
3 Shadowsword/Stormblade/Stormsword plus the bits to make any of them any of the 3 types

3 leman russ, I could print any variant turret if needed, or hulls without sponsons, thumper and destroyers are possible as well.

7 Chimera, I could print bolter and flamer turrets as well

2 Hydra, 2 Deathstrike
Probably a bit specialized for a starter force, but couldn't resist their more complex shapes for variety. The missiles are removable as well for keeping track of their ammo state as well!

Now infantry wise I have these dark realm infantry stands, mostly divided into 5 man fireteams and 2 man specialist teams, I figure I'm going to need to re-base some of these and I might re-paint them at that time as well if I end up going that route.

With the elite infantry especially, I clearly need to re-shuffle the MG units into the main units and work it out to 8 units so I can use them as stormtroopers.

Not pictured, but I also have a couple of imperial cruisers from battlefleet gothic, so orbital strikes are a possibility I suppose.
And finally, I'm having a hard time deciding on a paint scheme for these guys, and I would really appreciate suggestions for a good looking scheme that's not too intensive to carry through on an entire force.
