Epic Imperial Guard Armored Company

[Evil Dave]

I’ve started on some additions for my Turan Armored Company: Leman Russ and Demolishers At this point the Demolishers just need the highlights on the black, and the Russes need all their highlights. Hoping to finish them up in the next week or two and see about some 15mm Polybian Romans.

Very very nice!

Memories!!!

Cool work sir!

Very cool.
When did you get these? If you got them recently they must have cost a house and several yachts.

[Evil Dave]

Thanks guys.

Not recently, Thomaston. 95% of this army from ’07 to ’14 maybe? Even the more recent additions haven’t broken the bank though. Buy big lots and part off what you don’t want, often times you ending up getting paid to keep what you want to keep.

Very nice looking models.

Lovely brush work. I like the command tank. That banner looks brilliant.

Thanks guys.

I finished up the flock on the Russes and Demolishers today, well ahead of schedule. I’ve got a backlog of stuff to varnish, so I think I’ll be setting that up this weekend then snap some updated army pics as requested.

I hope to finish up some conversions on a small 15mm Polybian Roman army I picked up in the coming weeks, and then get some paint on them.

I’ve been painting my Turan Armored Company, on and off, for just just over two years now. With the exception of the Thunderbolts everything in the pictures below was finished in that time, some 5,000+ points. I’ve still got plenty left: 67 armored vehicles, 3 super-heavies, 40 Chimera and all the infantry I can pack into them. The plan is to keep plugging away until enough complaints have been filed and I move on to another Epic army. In the meantime, on to some 15mm Romans. I’ll come back to these later in the year to round out my entries for EpiComp[/url].

Crumbs. Properly Epic.

[Mr. Average]

You need some more tanks I think.

[Evil Dave]

I am armor shamed.

As an armchair infantryman I’ve never liked tanks, but those Shadowswords in the back looks good.

[Andrew Beasley]

Impressed – nice to see the flock looking the right size.

Too many times I’ve ended up with big lumpy looking clumps.

 

[Evil Dave]

Thanks guys. It’s an ancient bag of GW’s green flock, Andrew. It bleeds like crazy if it gets wet, so I put it down with a thicker green/Elmer’s mix and then hit it with a non-acrylic varnish.

You remind me that I have my own armored battalion to finish. I start way more projects than my life will allow me to finish.

Superb work! Any chance we’ll get to see these fellas in action?

Cool but not enough tanks😃.

Well, clearly, he needs more tanks.

I finished up some more Epic armor conversions recently, notably Thunderers which have 18 pieces of plasticard on them.

nice work sir

[Evil Dave]

I finished up the Thunderers tonight after working on them for the past couple of weeks. They already made their game debut where they refused to activate for two turns.

I started on the Conquerors tonight too. I’m still hoping to finish these and the Executioners for EpiComp.

It has been soooo long since I played.
Don’t you give them order counters and they activate in order based on that?

[Evil Dave]

That’s Space Marine/Titan Legion, the second edition of the game from the early 90s. Epic Armageddon came out in 03 and is alternating activation.

The Conquerors are finished, short of a top coat and some flocking. I might try to finish up some Executioners or Vultures for EpiComp, not sure yet. Either that or head back to the Romans or something completely different, we’ll see where the paint goes.

Bravo!  Those are some sharp looking tanks

[6mmwargaming]

I just read through this thread – fantastic work and your conversion are very good. I went the 3D printed route with my Epic army a few years ago, mostly because they can very expensive to buy and not always in the quantities I was after.

I just saw a copy of Space Marine for sale on FB marketplace, so tempting.
I blame you.
