Well, my long-delayed Reaver Titans have arrived at last. One is now assembled in the standard configuration of Rocket Launcher and two turbolasers. From the other, I took the turbolasers and put them on my Warlord Titan. Originally I was planning to equip this Reaver with a pair of Quake Cannons that I scratch-built a [...]

Epic Chaos
Anyone remember this army? Well, back in July I decided to dig them out and finish them off. After just shy of eight weeks, I have indeed now finished them. Which means it’s time to post lots of pictures of them on here. I might as well start with the Ravager Titan, which was the [...]
Space Hulk
Well, I’ve had this game for about a week now. I guess I might as well give my impressions of it. This won’t be a particularly objective or in-depth review, but there wouldn’t be much point in that anyway. You probably know by now whether or not you want it, and if you want it, [...]
Camera repairs
A few months ago, my camera broke. I had been wearing it attached to my belt more or less permanently, foolishly assuming that the case I had bought with it would be sufficient to protect it in this position. I was wrong. At some point it had evidently been pressed too hard against my side [...]
More waffling about Epic, Titans and Forge World
Well, a package arrived from Forge World containing some super-heavy tanks this morning. Unfortunately, however, there was no Reaver Titan inside. The packing slip says it’s on back order. I have a horrible feeling this means that they’ll um and ah about it for a few weeks before telling me it’s been discontinued. So I’m [...]
Blood Bowl Elves
So, as I mentioned at the time, I finished painting up my Elf Blood Bowl team back in October. And I had intended at the time to post some pictures of them here. But for some reason, I never got around to it. Until now. I should point out that these are not official Blood [...]
Titans
Well, my AMTL army for Epic is now fully under-way. This afternoon I successfully bid on eBay for three old-style Warhound Titans, all of them armed with Vulcan Mega-bolters and Plasma Blastguns. I’m also ordering a Reaver Titan from Forge World, which it seems is still available for the time being. Which, combined with the [...]
Ultima Ratio Regum
Well, I now have a fully painted 1,250-point Adeptus Mechanicus Titan Legion army for Epic. Here is a picture of it: Meet the Ultima Ratio, my Imperator Titan. I got this model about ten or eleven years ago when I first started playing Epic 40,000. In fact, I think I swapped it for the Morg [...]
FW Panic Buying
Well, from what I gather, with the future for Forge World’s Epic range uncertain, lots of people have been panic-buying the stuff they still can. To the extent that FW are making a lot of extra money from their Epic lines at the moment. It’s possible that this will mean FW will be more inclined [...]
A Thousand Curses
So a few days ago, several of the most popular Epic models disappeared from Forge World’s on-line store. Amongst other things, the Warhound Titans, Imperial Guard Basilisks, Tau Fire Warriors and battlesuits have vanished. Turns out that Forge World are debating whether to keep their Epic range. They aren’t re-stocking anything as it sells out, [...]
