For starters I would just like to say hi to this great community. I'm new to epic and this site so please forgive me if I expound newbness.

Anyways, I really enjoy tzeentch and all its followers and was truly overjoyed to find that their is a somewhat finished fan-made list, but, alas rubric marines(and other god related marines) are ridiculously priced(even for GW) since they can only be acquired as a part of a larger pack. To begin my epic career I happened upon well over 750 standard marines for an amazing price (40 CAD), plus many specialists, vehicles, etc. I was looking at them and noticed that they are very uniform (one pose) and if they had a few modifications would make wonderfuly uniform Rubrics. So... any good ideas on how to go about making them look more rubric, i.e. how to get those little egypt style heads, and any other suggested changes, on to their oh so VERY VERY tiny bodies.

Also once I have the design changes I want on them how do I perfectly (or close to it) reproduce such a change without casting them? (why cast when I have so many to turn to dust)

Finally, wow this first impression screams NEWB WALL, does anyone have any good step by steps or at the very least pictures for creating silver towers and warp palaces?

Hi Enigma-96,

We've all been New to this at some point Enigma, so no worries.


You may want to try Greenstuff for your rubric marines. I've never tried Greenstuff but some of the guys on TacCom can get some amazing detail on 6mm minis with the stuff, good luck.

I tried doing a search in the Epic 6mm Topic for Tzeentch and got these results...

Have fun looking through them.

I don't remember who did them but I do believe I have seen some excellent Silver Towers and Warp Palaces on here somewhere. I may have even saved them and can attach them here...

Hope this helps.

Or a simpler one:




For the Rubrics, if you can find the older, original Epic Chaos sprues they have a perfect Tzeentch Marine on them....about 5 per sprue IIRC.  You can see some here:
