Hey everyone,
My name is Daniel, and I recently joined this forum because I LOVE Epic and finally found some time (and minis) to begin building up fun stuff!!
I am starting this log, because I have found out that the best way to motivate myself is by starting a log. There is something about being able to show others some progress... I shouldn't be extrinsically motivated, BUT IT WORKS!
Now, I don't have much to show yet, but I already registered over a week ago, and I couldn't hold myself longer. I was also getting extremely inspired by many of the logs here, so here goes.
The story so far
I recently bought the set Adeptus Titanicus and the add-on Space Marine from a club member. He found out I was getting very interested in Epic because I started talking about it on our forum. I always had been intrigued, but it got the best of me, and I started ranting about.
I bought his set, even though I wanted to start an Imperial Guard army. However, the set was pretty cheap, so I couldn't resist.
Since all the models were really old, and I do like to keep with the current time line (I am a purist that way), I decided to convert everything to Chaos, seeing as it only fits the theme, as they probably only have really old Marks of Rhinos, Land Raiders and the likes. I went for Death Guard (Post Heresy), as I have a soft, pustulent spot for Nurgle, and I also have several 40K Death Guard models to go against my 40K Imperial Guard, which I will convert to Epic when I finish this and have some money again.
So here are the first three test models, first highlight. I've already done a bit more on them, but this is what I took a picture of. I'm quite pleased with the result.
I also began building some scenery, but that's all early stages still. I will show a picture as soon as I get some more done.
I also gave some of the models to a friend, as it's too much for me alone. He is painting them Emperor's Children (Post Heresy), so we have some colourful stuff soon!
Anyhoo, enjoy. I will also use this log to ask some questions from time to time, as I only just begun collecting, and need some pointers on how to organise my units and such. It's also quite hard to find out what the Space Marine models on the sprue represent, so if you guys can help me out from time to time that would be great.
As my next project I already have something special planned. I am going to use one of the old Dreadnoughts, to convert to a Nurgle Daemon Prince, like the 40K model that came out during Medusa V. It seems the right size and proportions!
Well, that's enough for now, too much rambling, by far not enough pics! I will show more real soon, I promise! ÂÂ
