Playing EPIC in 28mm.

Second try: What you can see here is a row of LRMBT. The one on the right is an "eradicator" varient - the eradicator cannon fires an unstable sub munitition or something. Behind them is a row of twenty chaos warhounds. A good (cheap) fast attack choice a heretics & renegades army. Behind the chaos warhounds and LR Eradicator are ten rough riders; Eight explosive tipped lances, a flamer and a melta gun.

Behind them are three scout sentinals. To the left are two platoons of three squads. All of these assets belong to 'The Tigers'

The back row are heavy weapons (auto cannon and mortar teams) these belong to 'the Bloodcoats'. No progress this weekend - just a picture.

So, how am I getting on ?

Here's the two rear turret Chimera, lined up with the others. Two more to do, and then one with an eagle door. I might let the Coy 2ic have a rear turret model as well.


I've been looking through the codecies as well. I possibly need to produce a data sheet for each unit in each army with all of the army list entry information on, the fluff (to put it in context) and then a picture of the model itself.

S'good job the first battle will only be 40/40, there's no way that I could do the whole lot before mid November.

Well, blogger seems to have settled on requiring me to sign in from scratch every time; Every time I klick on 'remember me' and every time, it doesn't.

It's probably something petty such as the fact I'm signing in using a hotmail account rather than a googlemail account.

Three cheers for ISPs and their quirks and idiosynchratic ways.

Tossers.

Yay ! It's Fri Friday, It's Fri Friday.

The Blood Coats have four mortar squads and three auto cannon squads. Now, IRL, such a heavy weapon Platoon would have a notable amount of support. Not reflected in fortykay, and an addition such as this does nothing under the standard rules for a pick up game. So no in game advantage for a Command Post, despite the fact that IRL, none of any of the indirect fire assets would actually work properly. This is a set of Rhino sides from bitzbox. The other rhino bits are from the CSM Predators. Obviously quite a lot from LRMBT, Chimera and Sentinal kits as well.
The main body is 1mm plasticard. I was given the encourage
ment to attempt this by Si on his Kataan IV project page. So I gave it a go and actually am satisfied with the result. hurrah.

QS's look around day.

I did another rear turret Chimera last night. I also cleaned up the bits for a Lord of Change, but could not face all the drilling and pinning. I have put away all of the Heretic and Renegade armour, creating a lot more space. Hopefully, my new figure case will arrive over the BH w/e and I'll be able to begin putting all the little men away as well. I want to put them away in their units, rather than just filling every available space with random models.

Link of the Day.

Tempus Fudgit are a gaming club. They organise non-competitive campaign weekends for which they take over warhammer world - as they had done when CNJ & I visited. Their website contains the downloadable packs for these events. These contain some very interesting ideas. Some of which we'll see on Devos IV.

Apology for blatent sexism

There, I have changed the welcome message from 'wives and gurl friends' to 'significant others'. And altered the banner headline to reflect an indeterminate number of generals. Please feel welcome...
