Hi all,
here is my nth attempt at completing an Epic army. I'm starting with the one for which I have most models painted: a great one-size-fits-all Imperial army, with titans, knights, guard, the very short squatachans, Inquisition, and a supporting cast of marines from a variety of chapters.
It will not be overly-correct, and will reflect the Epic Space Marine period more closely that the EA one. But what the heck, lets see if it works.

Oh, and there's a sloop too. See here for more details  :devil:  :devil: it's around 26cm long, but still needs a main engine  :devil:  :devil:

At long last the 3rd edition of the Lead Painters' League is all over bar the last round of votes. Pleased to say that although I lost round 2, the 6mm models I entered generated a lot of interest.

Now I can get onto this.
Progress so far: 1 Rhino + Thudd gun for the Angels of Fire; 1 Predator for the same; and in progress, one Thunderhawk for the Legio Fausta.

Incidentally, my Imperial forces will include a motley collection of Marines (these chaps never seem to deploy on numbers greater than a couple of hundred anyway)which gives me leeway for my lack of attention.
Chapters will include:  
Angels of Fire (one of the main forces)
Legio Fausta (the other main force)
and, as supporting cast:
Iron Hands
Ultramarines
Black Templars
Polar Warriors
Red Giants
Pointy Sticks

Imperial Guard:
Squatachans (my Squats, of course)
10th Kanin Foder Army

Ad Mech:
Legio Mechanatos
and friends

Knights:
Ares Guard

Others:
Inquisitors and assorted rabble
Imperial Navy
Adeptus Custodes (Judge Krambil in command)

Allies:
Nemausa craftworld Eldar
Forchetta craftworld Eldar
Blood Axes (yes, I know, VERY old school)
Tau soldiers of fortune

Thanks guys.
L-4, it IS a monitor hashed up from half a ship.
Anyone guess what the hull was originally?  :devil:

Justiniel, for now I'm having fun messing around - it'll soon be troop time, and I might add someone - the problem is that this little beastie is as out of scale as a Thunderhawk from Epic 40k... ah well..

Completely off topic - here's a small pile of stuff I did for the Lead Painters' League:

It looks like the stern to a merchant ship, maybe even a tanker.

Sorry DS, no cigar  :devil:
It's a household item - might be of different design in the US, come to think of it...

In that case, I'm stumped. Knowing you, I should've known it was a household item.  :laugh:

Nope, sorry L-4. It's a somewhat old piece of technology anyway, and probably on the way out: it's part of a thermostat from an electric water heater.  :devil:
