One of my 3mm armies is finally nearing completion after about three years of on-again, off-again work. Here it is three years ago. I has now doubled in size and acquired megatanks (ogres), titans, walkers and much more.
It is supposed to be a “Soviet” or “Warhammer 40k Imperial Guard” type army: lots of relatively low quality units backed up by a few extremely good units.
Watch this space for more as it comes up!
We get slapped around, but we have a good time!

24/10/2017 at 07:32 #74626Alexander WasbergParticipantI’ve seen these on your blog before, I’m glad to learn that we’ll see more of them as well! 🙂

24/10/2017 at 10:22 #74646RhodericMemberOoh, I love this kind of immersive shots of detailed, realistic landscapes with models and figures on them. The second photo is worthy of a place in a glossy, high-production-values magazine or rulebook.
24/10/2017 at 10:26 #74647StroezieParticipantWhat he said!
That is a beautifull set up and a great show case for the effect that can be achieved with the smaller scales.
Very well done, a tip my hat to you sir!
Cheers,
Stroezie.
24/10/2017 at 18:23 #74687Thaddeus BlanchetteParticipantYeah, and you can play a full-sized game on a 3×2 foot board, too!
I am recycling photos from my old tumblr blog, but new stuff is coming. I intend to post photos with Epic Armageddon stats for each subunit.

25/10/2017 at 19:25 #74773greg954ParticipantThere’s some really good stuff on this forum lately. And this is no exception, very nice.
I had to double check the title to make sure it was really 3mm. So much detail and a lovely game board.
25/10/2017 at 19:42 #74779Mr. AverageParticipantYeah, no secret that his terrain is the envy of the entire 3mm scale world. Don’t know how he does it – I’m an inept terrain-maker.
26/10/2017 at 16:02 #74850Thaddeus BlanchetteParticipantThanks, Mat, but Bish’s terrain is much better than mine, as is your painting.

The only advantage I have is that I got in on the ground floor. AFAIK, I was the first person to start posting a lot of 1/600 sci-fi stuff on the ‘net, back in 2008 or so. So I just got more practice in than most folks and learned, earlier, what works and what doesn’t.
Now that 3mm sci-fi has become a Thing (well, relatively, anyhow), I have been rapidly overtaken by guys like you and Bish. 😉

01/11/2017 at 07:38 #75352StroezieParticipantA realy cool tank with a realy cool paintjob!
Here’s to hoping the Greek economy recovers enough for them to have enough time/money to open up their store again.
03/11/2017 at 22:35 #75553Thaddeus BlanchetteParticipantA motorized infantry company comes under bombardment. Showcasing new terrain modules and bombardment templates.

04/11/2017 at 07:33 #75564Alexander WasbergParticipantVery nice! How did you make the templates?

04/11/2017 at 10:45 #75572Thaddeus BlanchetteParticipantI put some beads on a wooden disk and glued rough flocking clusters around them. Then I painted them. There’s a tutorial somewhere, but I can’t find it now.

04/11/2017 at 20:11 #75606Alexander WasbergParticipantI can see it now, thanks 🙂

08/11/2017 at 01:19 #75840Thaddeus BlanchetteParticipantOK, my first shot at making Epic Armageddon stats for O8’s tanks. Note that these are not for the Warhammer 40k universe.
We get slapped around, but we have a good time!
15/11/2017 at 16:41 #76305Mr. AverageParticipantI’m clearly dense – where did you get the system to make up these stats? Is there some deconstructed version of Epic out there, or are you winging it?
16/11/2017 at 00:47 #76319Thaddeus BlanchetteParticipantWinging it, but following the EA stats as a guide. Whether or not the points and army building actually work out… Well, we’ll have to say through playing, won’t we? 😀
Infantry is pretty much a direct port, however.
Unarmored infantry is Imperial Guard/Eldar Guardians and is represented by any modern infantry. Combat armor is Imperial Guard Stormtroopers (minus the “scout” characteristic and plus a better support weapon) and it’s represented by sci-fi heavy infantry. Power Armor is Marines and is represented by Venators. Heavy Power Armor is Terminators and is represented by Badgers. Dreadnoughts and the like are represented by the Sarissa and 6mm power armor figures.
