Epic 40k Genestealer Cut using rules from Firepower 3. I think.

3 detachments. First the coven with the patriarch, 2 genestealer broods and limos for everyone. Using Ork Dragsters here.
Then a support detachment with a Magus (using an epic 40k imperial psyker for him), with 2 support weapons and two brood brother squads.
Then my assault group with another magus, 4 brood brothers, one genestealer, and a leman russ.
Using the old school imperial guards because you old timers will remember they were used in 40k, so I'm literally trying to build this based on those old white dwarf pics.
The patriarch I am undecided on. Its an awesome old familiar and the perfect size for this, and I thought of basing him on a stand with 4 genestealers, but he's big and its kinda crowded with him on it. But he's about the same size as the little Epic 40k avatar and the chaos familiars I use for greater daemons, and since I base them by themselves on a 20x20 stand, figured Inwould do the same for him.

Anyway, had an idea to create some scenerio where a game would start out with these guys occupying a downtown area like they just raided an army depot, and the local Imperial Guard army (of 600 points arrives to put down this insurrection. Then in a couple of rounds a 600 point Tyranid army shows up, then after that a 300 point Space Marine army. Very small armies I know, but that is what I love about Epic 40k. This means the games are short but that also means every decision is important. So I have 300 army lists of all the major races, then 600 expanding on each of those. Like adding a Gargant to the 300 Ork army to bring it up to 600. This way I can grab an army real quick, and make some interesting scenerios by allying them with each other. I know Epic is about big battles but I really wanted to take my time on some favorite units and all I find myself doing with 20 unit detachments is rushing to paint them. So I thought I would do this.
Anyway hope to play out this scenerio someday.
