Thanks, guys.

Sometimes, what you really need is a small castle full of wizards, built on top of a giant flying mushroom:

Up next will be another four Cybershadows Warcrabs. After that, the army will be done!

Thanks!


I promised group shots, and group shots you shall have! First, here's a photo of everything I've painted since I started this thread:

But that's not as exciting as seeing the army in its entirety, so here it is!

Death Wheel Squadron

Chaos Thunderhawk
Counts as Harbinger Bomber (400)

Daemon Pool
22 Lesser Daemons (330)
1 Greater Daemon (50)

Grand Total: 13,340

As an army list, this doesn't actually make very much sense. Taking 380 points' worth of Daemons and no daemonic pacts is a huge waste of points. But just as a figure to estimate the overall size of the army, I think it's probably fine.

I've put photos of the whole army up on my blog:
http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/blog/2016/05/epic-chaos-the-final-chapter/

So, with this army finished, I now have no Epic armies on the go, for the first time since 2007. The question is, what to paint next? I think that first I'm going to take a short break from 6mm and do a few 28/30mm figures, but sooner or later I'm going to have to come back to Epic. I have unpainted models for Space Marine, Ork and Imperial Guard armies, but which to paint first I'm not sure. I think the Marines would be the quickest and easiest to paint, and thus the ones that I’d be most likely to get finished. I already have a 3000-point army planned out as a starting point. So those are tempting. On the other hand, Orks are the most different from what I’ve done before, so might be the most interesting.

Yes! At one stage I was considering taking my Eldar instead, but I think I'm going to go with these guys. Which reminds me, I need to get on and figure out exactly which ~1/3 of the army I'm going to be using.

Well, the situation of not having any Epic armies on the go was just getting too strange. So I made a start on some Space Marines:

Some of the white has come out a bit thick; I'd forgotten just how hard it is to get a nice smooth even white. Something to work on as the army progresses.

I'm not planning for this army to be quite as large as the others. I would guess it'll be done somewhere between six and eight thousand points.

Coming next will be an Assault detachment. I'm going to start by painting up the usual battle company of infantry, then expand with other things.
