Overview

I know I've not finished my Tactical Squad yet, but I picked up a formerly blue and somewhat battle worn Land Raider Achilles Alpha for a bit of a snip, so I'm bingo-ing this and a drop pod to carry the 'itwillbefinishedtomorrowhonest' tactical squad.

I haven't played a single game of Space Marine (ooP EPIC) since ... 1995 or 96. My last game was a few months after the release of Titan Legions with my unpainted SM supporting Titans from another player in a multiplayer game. Before that I used to play only a few games as it has been more of a compulsory investment than a gaming group centered project. My area was lacking of contenders... And after that, real life matters sent forced me to disconnect from the hobby quite a lot: no time and no money. When I have been able to get time to consider coming back,Epic 40000 was freshly released and the play tests I've had in GW store did not pleased me at all. So I stopped everything on the matter until resuming painting more or less recently . I passed my frustration buying FW Wave Serpents that I ended up painting... in 2023. But as far as I am concerned, the initial versions of Epic (Space Marine namely) were fun, fast, and required less space than WFB or 40k. A winning trio? Not really as individual models beyond the plastic boxes were expensive.... for my wealth at the time.

Looking good! I haven't yet gotten into Epic40K in my hobby journey. Have you played any games? Are the games fun?

Hiya! Best practice is to show a picture of the WiP and then the finished version when it's done :)

I love this, the model is painted so well and the base is just... *CHEF'S KISS*! Very good! Very nice!

The moment is upon us... I LAY CLAIM TO THE FIRST UPDATED BUNKER BINGO CARD OF THE CHALLENGE! MWAHAHAHA!

Thanks so much...!

So due to the unavoidable move to my hobby space, I had to pivot what I'd be completing for the month. I choose "Ded Killy" here, and over a few small sittings yesterday I was able to finish him up. In hindsight, I *PROBABLY* had enough time to finish Ezekial, but am happy with Killy here,

Fire Prism complete! I've always loved this model so I'm proper excited to finally have one in my collection.

These are really well done, that face on the unhelmeted one is amazing!

Thanks! Yeah 100%! I took some better photographs today...!

Haha just saw this now! Some months will be like that! Rememeber if something takes you longer than a month, you can still score it in the month it's complete!

These are looking great, very well done! I know what you mean about a model never really being done, it always feels like there's something more to do.

They're done! A week to spare before the cut off, but they took me 4 weeks so I need to factor that in for feb! When is a model really done? I could have kept going but I had to call them done at some point as I have to be realostoc about achieving an army this year...!

Ha, this is funny! I'll allow it. Let's call it a character I know the feeling, I am moving house later this year and going to have to plan my hobbying around it!

So due to the unavoidable move to my hobby space, I've had to pivot what I'll be completing for the month. I'm going to speed paint "Ded Killy" here, which slot do you think he should fill? I'll be doing a bit more of a fancy base.

I should get all the points for my completion of no models at all for the month of January... I can't seem to find that box on the bingo sheet.

Another two down! Next up: fire prism and dark reapers:

Hi everybody! Just a quick one to say that I can't get the calendar function to work on the club! Can everyone please shoot me a quick message by the close of play 28th Jan. with what they are claiming on their bingo cards for this month, as well as any thoughts you wish for me to consider for the monthly awards... Monthly excellence award = 10 bonus points Funniest comment/update on the club that month = 10 bonus points Most epic photo = 10 bonus points Good luck! Mike

I tend to do a before and after, so one pic at the start and one at the end; other people take WIP pictures so whatever way works for you! That's my understanding anyway and nobody has told me off yet

Quick Q; Do I just show the finished goods, or include WIP's?

These are ace, I've always loved these models. At least 3 of them could almost pass for High Elf Wizards/Mages/Sorcerers from WHFB of the 90's.

I love the black. Fully on board with a charcoal-blue-tinted-soft black over the GW eavy metal style of harsh highlights.

That's a great start and an excellent chapter, looking forward to seeing your progress. Welcome to the bunker bingo too!

Minotaurs Tactical Squad in the spray booth, will slap some coppery goodness on them tomorrow!
