So, I did promise to post some Titans, so here they are (I only have two photographed so far):

First off, my Reaver Titan, painted as per the Warp Runners legion:

Next up, a solitary Warhound (his mate is missing the crucial connecting ring part!)

In order to inspire those Epic players, I invite you to post your classic Epic painty goodness!

No No NO! - first all this Bloodbowl kerfuffle now Epic. Stop with all the distractions :grin: Lovely minis, great paintjobs.
I have an absolute ton of these in the attic. Never got around to painting any of it. I even have a show box filled with Tyranid blisters just mocking me :grin:

(Walks off muttering I will not be distracted, I will not be distracted)

Go on. Just one Titan. It'll be fine. It's just one model. What's the worst that can happen? :twisted:

Oh, and those Epic Tyranids (I assume they're Epic) go for a pretty penny on Ebay, especially any plastic sprues you may have.

Yeah they are all epic, only one set of the plastic sprues though. Every now and again I take them out, look at them, think about selling them and then put them away again. Just in case :lol: I've been doing that for years

Never really painted mine (the few that saw paint!) up to any real standard.

Might have a sort through but I have mostly the plastics and none of the cool metal vehicles and titans :(

I hate ebay prices on that sort of thing :mad:

Great looking Titans. I used to own a lot of Epic. I started painting doing Epic and moved on to 25mm miniatures. The wife insisted to choose between the two, it made sense at the time, not so sure anymore... Loved the game though, nice set of rules. Anyhow, these are the pictures I took before putting them on ebay, :cry:

Very nice the both of you.

Dreamfish, the things our wives make us do. I'd almost literally do anything for my better half but she'd have to prise even the smallest part of my collection out of my cold dead hands.

What were you thinking!

Epic really is a can of worms for me, dare I start taking pictures? Doesn't madness lead that way?

Ive always wanted to get into Epic in a big way...but too many other projects already...it seems like the proper scale for the 40k universe in my mind. RT 40k has its place but for truly large battle the epic system is great.

Excellent work both of you!

Ooh! Lots of lovely Epic goodness! :grin:

These are taken from my blog but they barely scratch the surface of my collection, they're just what I painted last year.

:lol: I remember, before I was married, when my ex-girlfriend gave me the ultimatum that I either sold all of my wargames stuff or she'd leave. Did I mention that she's an "ex-girlfriend"? :grin:

My wife, on the other hand, just says "You've got some more tanks" when another small packet from ebay arrives in the post. :)

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! :grin:

One thing I will say is don't buy any Epic from GW. It's not the price (which is awful) but the quality of the castings are now dreadful.

I have some old Epic stuff, mostly Imperial Guard and some Space Marine stuff. Partially painted and only played with a couple of times. I am going to dig them out and post some pics this evening.

Good stuff Bug16

Here's some more including some more modern stuff (I say modern, but these are at least 15 years old!):

My contribution to this topic look very shoddy but I thought I would post them anyway.

I know that feeling My wife says with a bit of a sigh "Some more little men have arrived".

Those Manticores are nearer 20+ years old, which is scary when you think about it! I'm still intending to paint another Rocket Company using those Manticore models as I really like the oldschool look of them.

@igirisujin - Good to see your models posted up, I really like the banners. That's an idea I may steal for my Marines. :)

Very nice! Love the use of Runtbots as Stompas and you're the first person to make those resin Gargants look really great. :)

Post-acetone remixes.
Everything used to be standard issue Goffs in primary Space Marine 2nd Ed colors until Sheperd Paine threw a brick that hit me in the head. ;)
