So, I have already shown you guys my Epic armies, and I've participated in one of the Epic painting competitions.

Time to let you guys discover a bit more of my little soldiers.
In this case, my last 40K army : the Servants of the Fly, formerly known as the Halith VII Rangers.
They are an IG army that has been corrupted by (you guessed it!) Poppa Nurgle.

What started out as an army based upon the third Siege of Vraks Renegades armylist, has expanded to a force playable with the Normal Codex : IG, and has even had a contingent of Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Deamons added to the mix for those big, humongous Apocalypse games (playing Epic on a larger scale, what's not to like )

Anyhow, less chatter and more piccies I hear you cry out.
So, without further ado :

I'll just follow the regular Codex-structure and start with...
HQ
A Plague Marine Commander (yes, I can let my Guards e led by a Chaos Space Marine!):


And a Plague Marine Psycher (not Codex-legal, but a cool add-on for Apocalypse games :



The Great Unclean One :


Epidemius :


My Guardsmen HQ-choice :



Supported by an anti-tank squad :


In a supporting role, my Enforcers (the Renegades' answer to Commissars)


And a group of Apostate Preachers


And finally, some Unsanctioned Psykers that can either be seconded to Guard-units, or I could use 'em as per the Codex : IG with their minder :



Dark Mechanicus (to help maintain my car-park) :




And a top-view

Elites
First off, a Plague Marine unit, and since I've got 20 of them, there's plenty of configuration-possibilities.



And I also pimped out an Old School Rhino for them to be transported in :


Renegade Ogryn Berserkers



Disciples of Xaphan :


Grav-chute Karskin :

Troops
Now I won't bore you with individual piccies of all my units of Guardsmen, know simply that I have 2 times two Squads and 2 Command Squads, good for 50 footsloggers in total.
All are equipped with an autocannon, a PlasmaGun, a Sarge and a Vox Caster
Here's a sample :




Then I have loads of Mutants' Rabble, about 40 of them, here are 30 in one single piccie :


To represent Plague Zombies, I used the Fantasy Battle Crypt Ghouls, who strongly resemble the zombies from the movie I am legend


On the Deamon-side of things I have a small unit of Nurglings


And a small unit of Plague Bearers


And that's all the Troop-choices I have at the moment, good for a grand total of 120 bases…

Transports :
Chimera :




New-kit Chimera :




Another Chimera :




Chimera #4 (yawn?)




a fifth Chimera...
(I'm going to stop doing Chimera-chassis vehicles for a while now...)

Fast Attack

2 Chaos Spawns


A unit of Sentinels :


A unit of armoured Sentinels, of the old-skool type, with a weapons-swap :





A Vendetta :


A a second Vendetta :



The base

In hover-formation with the first one...


Bane Wolf :





Nurgle Chaos Space Marine Raptors (using MaxMini jump-packs)


Backside

And five more :





Furies :





And finally a Blight Drone :

Heavy Support
Turret Emplacements with Battle Cannons :


Leman Russes
Vanquisher :



Executioner :


Demolisher :


Leman Russ Battle Tank :




Manticore...





Two Nurgle Obliterators (for those Apocalypse games) :



And last, bot not in the very least
Super Heavies
Valdor Tank Hunter :






Orbital Defense Laser (from the Quantum Gothic range)
And here's the finished product




Now I hears you thinking...
You're thinking how big is that thing exactly?
Is it really big enough to represent an Orbital Defense Laser?
Well, there can be only one answer to these thoughts...
Heeeeeeeeeere's Barrrryyyyyyyy!

Now of course, such a big weapon needs a big mount...
So finally I've got a good use for that GWS scenery I bought a long time ago...




A Plague Reaper, still paint-in-progress at the moment...

Very cool.

Awesome. My favorite has to be the Dark Mech. with the Epic Rhino motive unit!

TuffSkull, here's some pictures of my army 'in action' at the last Apocalypse game I played :



And here they are in parade-ground formation (well, a part of the army anyway)



A couple of close-ups…
Ogryns with a couple of Guardsmen :

The Plague Marines :

Onwards and forwards!

The me-perspective (when gaming, of course) :

Really impressive horde of stuff Quase!

Heaps of great conversions & many visual goodies packed in with your units. Those Oblits are outstanding!

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

madd0ct0r, those were indeed, in their previous life Squigs that were waiting in their Blisters to be added to my Orcs and Goblins horde.
But then 8th edition appeared...

So I greenstoffed some tails on them, and facetted fly eyes.
The wings are from MaxMini, they are in the "Conversion Bits" section and are called Dargonfly Wings
To finish them off, I used some greenstuff to model muscles going from the body to the wings
