Back in February, in anticipation of possibly getting a game or two of Epic in while I was down in Southampton, I made a few small additions to my Chaos army. These were mostly to make the army work with the latest NetEA version of the army list, which has made a few changes that [...]

Infiltration
I have decided that it is time I stopped sitting around mumbling about it and actually try and find some people to play games with. So I’m going to start going along to the Oxford GW games club on Thursday evenings. Ultimately, I hope to try and find some Epic players, but it seems unlikely [...]
AMTL
You may remember that back in July I announced that I was starting work on an Adeptus Mechanicus Titan Legion army for Epic. I decided to make this my entry for the ‘Tale of Epic Gamers 2009‘ painting challenge on Tactical Command, painting a certain amount each month (originally 500-1000 points, but after the first [...]
Miniature scale
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts (and in other places, such as Farcebook), I have, of late, been painting several individual models simply as one-offs (or, at least, as part of only a loosely-connected group of models) rather than as part of any kind of army or gang for a particular game. So far, they’ve [...]
Adventuring party
In between Epic Titans, I have, for some variety, been occasionally painting up some more Spyglass/Eolith miniatures. They’re really nice models to paint, and that and the fact that they’re not part of an army so I can spend some extra time on each one individually has meant that they’re probably the best paint-jobs I’ve [...]
Eldar revisited
Having mostly been painting Imperial Titans over the last few months, I decided recently that it would make an interesting change to paint up an Eldar Titan. So along with the last Reaver Titan, I ordered a Phantom as well. It is now painted. Having done that, I decided that while I was revisiting my [...]
Forge World Medusas
This morning, unexpectedly, I received a package in the post, containing a pack of Epic Medusas from Forge World. I ordered these back in June, shortly before they became listed as “TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK” on FW’s website. This is good news for two reasons. Firstly, because as I suspected the chassis from the Basilisks [...]
Spyglass/Eolith miniatures
Almost a year ago, I posted that I’d got a few models from Spyglass Miniatures. They weren’t for any particular game, just really nice models to paint for the fun of it. One of them I painted up fairly soon after getting them, but the other two I left untouched, distracted by other painting projects, [...]
Necromunda
So recently, I’ve been thinking about Necromunda. In particular, I wondered whether I ought to dig out and paint my old Orlock gang. I do have a painted Necromunda gang in the form of my Spyrers, but they’re a bit odd, and it would be good to have a regular house gang painted as well. [...]
Eldar photo update
Following my post on my Epic Chaos Space Marines, I went back and had a look at the photos I took of my Eldar army (which I posted here), and, as I suspected, some of them were quite shockingly awful. So this afternoon, I took the models and re-photographed them all (although I didn’t bother [...]
