Hi all.
Having been on the forum for ages and never having posted any of my work I thought after 18 months of painting I had better post something. Many thanks to everyone on here who inspired me to get back into Epic again after a 15 year hiatus. I will apologise now for the quality of some of the pictures - photography is not my strong point! I still play 2nd edition so all formations are geared for that; and if your interested the Battlegroup weighs in at 8,700 points for the 'core' force - as seen here. The plan is to have enough formations for 10,500 points. Luckily I bought many titans from eBay back in the early 2000's so the plan is to build a War Griffons force that will mirror this point for point - but that’s a while off at the moment.

The whole Battlegroup

Thanks for looking; any and all c&c welcome.

Sam,
Some great armies you have there, like the way the nids have been based on different bases, The photos seem fine and still show that you have put a lot of time and effort in building some really nice forces,

Look forward to future updates on this blog,

Regards epic

Wow Sam
all forces look excellent
I really really like your IG colorsheme very effective
but all forces look top painted

I also like the fact that you are still using the SM/TL points for Titans
you are the only other guy, who still pay 1500 points per warlord battle group ;D

Thanks guys. Ulric - yes point for point Titan battlegroups probably provide the best bang
For your buck. Epic - yeah I wanted to do something different with the nid bases but now I'm stuck for 40mm and 60mm hex bases I can't fin them anywhere so will probably end up making some for the titans and dominatrix.
Cheers
Sam

Mad - thanks for the heads up seems I won't need to make them after all! Mark - the reaver has been a long time coming. I have a second one that will probably be painted in war griffons colours but that's a while off yet. Whilst we're on the subject the yellow on the reaver looks better in the photographs than real life. I can't seem to get the coverage I want on the larger areas despite having put on around 5 coats of varying thickness; does anyone have any ideas to improve the colour?
Cheers
