Hi guys, I am normally terrible when it comes to painting an army. So I figured with my recent adventure back into epic to get my army painted as its built I have decided to take part in TOEG 2012. As the subject states I am doing a Epic UK Vanaheim force. Most of the models will be from Exodus Wars and I received my first order the other weekend. Included in the order was the 1st 1000 points. My 3000 point force is going to be Regimental HQ, 2 Vendettas - 500 points Infantry Company, 2 Vendettas - 400 Infantry Company, 2 Vendettas - 400 Vulture Squadron - 300 Stormtrooper Platoon - 350 Light Sentinel Squadron - 100 Stormtroopers - 350 Thunderbolt Flight - 150 Lightning Flight - 150 Marauder Destroyer Flight - 275 Progress Update Month one I plan to paint the Stormtroopers and the Thunderbolt Flight. - Complete Month Two - Vulture Squadron and Marauder Destroyer Flight - Complete Month Three - Regimental HQ - Not Started |

What are those missiles on the sides? Looks good, but from a game perspective only 7 formations on the ground (only 4 of which have significant staying power) might be tough to handle properly. It might also be worthwhile to try a white primer and wash it black instead of working up from a black basecoat. It'll make those nice canopies a bit more vibrant, too. |

Missiles from the side are Guild Twin Missiles. They come with the Roc and Harpy. Thanks for the tip around primer I will do another on another date with a white one to see how it compares. I plan to swap in and out the bombers and Fire support for another Infantry platoon to see which plays better for me. But I figured I would paint the above 3k as it means I get to paint the Rocs from EW. |

So after on a lazy Sunday afternoon I decided to crack on with my Vanaheim and with combination of yesterday and today I now have the first 500 points painted. So first up are the stormtroopers. I have 8 normal stands and a stand with commissar to sub in when the formation has a commissar assigned to it.  Close up of the commissar stand  Next up we have a unit of Thunderbolts.  Finally the first 500 points all together.  So there it is first month down. C&C welcome, Chris |

Another update, I decided to work on an objective for the army. So far I have only managed to do one and am at a loss of what to have for the other objective and Blitz any thoughts would be welcome. Below is the objective. A crashed Marauder Transporter in the snow.  And with the rest of the force, which has been converted to brown around the base edge.
