Hi!

I wish they would decide to release armies that didn't exsist beforehand.

But its fair that other armies for people who have been waiting for a long time get released first.

Thanks Legion for the welcome and hello everyone! ?I've been cruising the board ever since I found the speed painted IG diary. ?Nicely done! ?I painted about 2000 pts of Imperial Fists in about 2 weeks when I started Epic 40k. But anyone can do that.

Back to the topic at hand, proxies. ?I suggested Irregular because they're the only ones I know who make 6mm skeletons. ?I know Irregular have a certain reputation when it comes to quality but I hear they paint up OK.

Once I saw Audrey's Deathwheel I decided to start an Iron Warriors army in her color scheme (Is that Ok, Audrey?) so I'm just going to use them as stand-ins for Necrons. ?

Marines ? ? ? ?=> ? Warriors
Termies ? ? ? ?=> ? Pariahs
Berzerkers ? ? => ? ?Flayed Ones
Small rocks ? ?=> ? Scarabs (paint job should do it)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? => ? Wraiths
? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?=> ??Tomb Spiders
? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?=>? ?Destroyers
Scratchbuild ?=> ??Monolith
Scratchbuild ?=> ??Pylon

Navy2Af,

I'll try to find my Necron conversion ideas list and post it here for you.

One of the ideas that I've played with is using Clikkie Tech Mechwarrior (MW) figures as proxies. I cut them off of their bases and rebase them on pennies or other non-Clikkie bases and... voila! Some of the MW powered armor look really good as dreadnoughts and the like. Some of them have skull-like heads and would look good in a Necron army especially with a unified paint scheme.

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Well Navy, Tas is an Aussie LCDR in the RAN, so you will be hearing from him, I'm sure! :;): ?

As far as Necrons, since I have so much to do on my other 9 Epic Armies...

I'll wait for G/W or F/W to release them! :D ?

And I don't have a problem if like the Tau & Kroot, they have a limited and reasonable amount of units. I've always said, the IG, Orks, and even the SMs have too much stuff! Much of it redundant, IMO! :o

Hi!

I wonder if FW would REALLY consider doing necrons.

That would be great....

Ebay is a curse and is to be avoided at all costs.
Repeat after me....

Well it looks like I am now collecting a new army for Epic. I am sure some of you are by now groaning at my butterfly like inability to choose an army and stick with it until finished. Bit it's OK- I am restricting myself to only buying off ebay.

Those that have read my previous contributions to ebay threads will know my inability to exercise any form of restraint and will probably be holding heads in hands. :blush:

But its OK- I have set myself the criteria that I can only bid minimum amounts on any auctions.

The good news is that should limit the financial damage caused to may wallet. The bad news is that means my army buying will be totally chaotic as I will have little control over what I eventually end up with. The even gooder news is that I can claim that this idea was blessed by Gork & Mork as being suitably Orky!!!  :D  

Flicking through the Ork army list in Epic A rulebook it seems that this will fit in with Ork list fairly well. Any vehicle with guns and troop capacity can be called a battlewagon as even can Squiggoths. Anything with a bigger gun can be called a gunwagon. Anthing even bigger can be either a battlefortress or gunfortress. How cool is that!!

So flicking through my initial purchases I have 4 buggies, 4 scorchas, 2 bonecrunchas, 1 skullhamma, 1 magna cannon, 3 squig catapults and 3 flakwagons.

So it looks like I have minimum size small kult of speed, and am just some infantry short of my first small warband. Squig catapults will be put too one side until I have enough to make a small Snakebite contingent.

One question though - what would I classify the magna cannon as? Its the only one I can't see in collectors section of OOP models.

Cheers

James

Hi WI - in epic 40K and previous terms, it was an anti-aircraft vehicle - the magnet was used to bring the Imperial flyboys down to earth.... I guess using it as a Flakwagon (useful!) wouldn't hurt one bit.
Cheers,
John
PS - congrats on your new found Orky Cultishness. I love Moonz, but Sunz come a very close second. ?:D

Ah we have someone doing something I was planning on after I picked up  3 blisters of Skorcha's and 1 blister of Pulsa Rokkits for ?1 each :D

I'm planning on setting myself a total, and seeing what size force I can get within that total - could be an interesting force :)

-Just spotted Magna-Kannon in the list- down as Soopagun. Down know why I did n't spot it first time- maybe because seller mis-spelled it with a very un-orky c instead of k. Your suggestion of using it as some sort of flak weapon sounds cool though.

Dysartes
-Sounds like a cool idea. Normally I plan every army in infinite detail, working out full size- say 6,000 points for Epic or 4,000 points for BFG. And then go out and buy all the minatures in one go, only to spend the next few months staring with dread at the new mountain of lead/plastic/resin.

This way I keep the number of unpainted figures low as I will never be buying that many as invariably someone will bid more than minimum and thus outbid me. And unlike the more regimented IG/SM that I usually collect when I get any new figures I can usually just chuck it into existing warband/kult of speed because of the amazingly chaotic way that you choose the army. Already I am just a few infantry short of 2 legal formations.

All-
What colour scheme do you use for your Orks? Do you go for neutral scheme or one specific to one of the 6 main clanz?

I have been checking out Carl's excellent stuff on Dropship site. I quite like his mixture of reds, black and rusry metals. That appeals to me as a starting point. Maybe accentuate the reds on the Kult of Speed and conversely accentuate the blacks on Warband. How does that sound?

Cheers

James

Sounds ok - one scheme I plan to try is black undercoat with topical drybrush colours for all clans - yellow for moons, red for suns, with brighter-coloured Kult of speed, blue for blood axes etc (which means I havn't worked out the Goffs etc. yet! :p )

Hi!

I use the strict color for each clan as laid down in the old fluff. Of course under Netepic each clan has different abilities, so I dont know if its worth the extra trouble under Epic A.
