Echoes of Eisenstein - upscaling madness with the XIV

[Sherrypie]

5k of Epic: Armageddon, Ill Met by Moonlight.
Patrols met under the onslaught of the tyranid invasion and quickly escalated as marching columns started pouring into the city. The situation quickly dipped to Mechanicus' favor, as they got their big guns onto the field and incessantly pummeled the xenos as they tried to escape the traffic jam at their deployment area.

Those Tyranids look great! Are they 3D printed, or old Epic models?

Neither, being older multipart metal forumware models. My opponent has a lot of that stuff.

Meanwhile in a void far far away, another batch of BFG. All painted in a day without too pronounced detailing. Vis Divina and two escort squadrons, Tears of Pain and Winter's Rain.

They really do look lovely

 

Do you have any other BFG fleets to do?

I've got dozens of more ships for this one to go, as well as debating whether I'll keep the old ones as they are or touch them up a bit at some point. Then there's a pretty neat scratchbuilt Tyranid fleet of some 2000 points from the same teenage years that could easily be expanded as well as some untouched Eldar ships in the storage. I'm also looking at converting an Ork fleet from AI planes and scrap, as iz good an' propah. Plus planets, asteroids, space stations and the like. So yeah, there's always a project or ten for many fun games :D

Ah, I was hoping you'd say "Orks" - they're my favourite BFG models ...

Lovely work - I do believe I spotted these in the DRPA showcase group on Facebook?  

 

BFG is having a miniature resurgence at my local gaming group, a ciyple of chaps have been getting into it after picking up some of Scourge Scenics models, they're trying to get others back into it!  Alas, I had to sell my BFG stuff almost 10 years ago  I had Imperial and Chaos fleets.

@firestorm40k yes, they went up there as well.

 

Hopefully you'll get many good battles with the new stuff once you'll build a new fleet too ;)

Tragedy in three acts: 3k NetEA Imperial Fists vs. the Machine Church, Reinforce the Right (GT scenario with three waves of troops and randomised deployment areas). The central firebase of the cog-boys proved too tough to crack for the astartes who arrived far from their main objectives and though the battle hung in balance until the very end, eventually the grand magos led their taxi-deprived and thus slowly stretching column of servitors and priests deep into the enemy rear.

 

 

Do note the Fists' Devastators' laudable camouflage exercise "Operation Atlas".
