Hi guys! My obsessive journey in acquiring all I wanted for Epic is finished. The other day I finally won an auction on Ebay that finished off my collection:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1
I posted that I was looking for these little guys, but not many people have them. I missed out on a GREAT Epicollector auction who was selling 2 each of these little Greater Daemons and I have been banging my head against the wall ever since. The little Great Unclean One in the auction isn't the actual Great Unclean One that matches the rest, but I do already have him. He looks just like the Epic Space Marine version, and is probably my favorite.
I have heard these being released as familiars, but I have seen the add for them in an old White Dwarf and the particular four I am talking about were advertised for Epic. This was in the old AT/SM days. . .
ANYWAY, the reason this is such a big deal is because ever since I saw these on Markonz's site I really wanted them. I imagine if Epic 40k was more successful, we would have seen smaller Greater Daemons released. I say this because the Eldar Avatar and Tyranid Hive Tyrants shrank dramatically, and so it seemed silly to be using the larger Epic Space Marine versions even thought they do look better than these older guys.
On the gaming table they look great. Plus since they really weren't that impressive individually (in Epic 40k you needed several in a detachment to be really successful. Playing with what is actually 3 GIGANTIC Keeper of Secrets and facing off against a tiny Avatar just looked silly to me. I know these Daemons can justifiably be any size they want, but the smaller ones look more like their 40k cousins. I absolutely love them.
Anyway, these were the only guys haunting me for the last few months and now I got them. I could use about three Leman Russ tanks, but I am not stressing over them. I finally have everything I ever wanted and now it is time to pack most of it all up cause I am not playing these games much anymore!!!!!! LOL.
I love the new Land Raiders, but there isn't enough going on in EpicA for me to start buying a lot more minis that are just going to sit in my boxes like the ones I have now. I think all this represents a period of my life that I have kind of left for good. It is fun to look through it once and awhile and remember the good times, but I'll never play like I used to.
That being said, I am pretty much done buying anything for GW games. I still purchase Man O' War stuff from time to time when the price is too good not to pass up, but with Warhammer Quest, Necromunda, and especially 40k, I can say I have all that I really want. I would buy more for Warhammer, but my friends just look at it and say cool, but no one wants to really play it. No one is playing anything anymore. Everybody is playing online games now, which I have to admit, can be a lot more exciting. . .
Anyway, chapter finally closed. God that was a lot of money.
?Nurgle is a 40K Nurgling, but I like it ... may have to try to get that one ! ?You can never have too many Greater Daemons (even though I rarely fielded them !) floating around ! ?EpiCollector has pics of all of them. ? And with my 9 Epic Armies and E:A and F/W continuing to release new stuff ! ?I'll complete my Epic collection ... when I'm DOA
