I've finally managed to bully someone at my local games club into a game of Epic Armageddon, so I've had to actually paint up an army for it. This seems like as good a subject as any for my first post. :)
(click the images for larger versions).

Firstly, a battle company and a half of Astral Claws Space Marines:

And some heavy support, in the form of a pair of battle titans from the Warp Runners legion.

The Warlord isn't actually part of the force I'll be using, but I finished him too, so he's in the pictures. Basically, this is all the Epic: Armageddon-era miniatures I have, so that's the army. I didn't manage to score any Rhinos or Drop Pods, so the Devastators will have to walk. Everyone else gets a ride.

I always fancied an entirely air-mobile Space Marine army. No idea if it'll work, but it'll be fun to find out. Not sure what my opponents will be; possibly Eldar, possibly renegade Marines.

I do have more Marines, but those are Epic 40,000 vintage. Rather than mix and match the vehicle styles, they'll be painted up as a different force. The titans' weapons are all magnetised so I can swap them around (and those of the other three Reavers, three Warlords and two Warhounds :) )

I've added a couple of "action scenes" :) As before, click 'em for the full size versions.

The buildings are the ones from 1st edition Space Marine (The first GW game I ever bought. I've had them for 22 years, now!) and the ground tiles are from Hawk Wargames, for their Dropzone Commander game. They're 10mm scale, but they look fine for Epic, too.

Welcome to the forum Andrew, always great to see new people posting! Cracking minis and it's great to see those DZC tiles, I was just asking about these the other day!

Cheers!
