son of the forest Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hi everyone, heres some epic heresy i did about 10 years ago, used to be on the great crusade and 1st expedition forums. Almost every legion here, except Dark Angels and Space Wolves as they were my regular size legions. I've got so much unpainted epic, but still planning on getting plenty of the new minis Emperors Children Iron Warriors White Scars Imperial Fists Night Lords Blood Angels Iron Hands World Eaters Ultramarines Death Guard Thousand Sons Sons of Horus Salamanders Raven Guard Alpha Legion Titans Urauloth, stretch_135, Cactus and 16 others 9 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilsh Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Very nice collection you have, I really should dig out my boxes of old Epic miniatures that I have stored at my mum's place someday.

Pacific81 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 What a treasure trove! If you didn't want to keep it, that is a fair amount of moneys-worth if it were separated out, from what I can see.

son of the forest Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 Don't think I can part with them, was always a big epic fan, and still really like the old stuff for the nostalgia. The scale increase is a pity as I could have at least used used some of the old minis for basing Pacific81 and Karhedron 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6007426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I used some of the old marine minis as Scouts alongside some new Vanguard and 3D print minis (which are roughly Legions-scaled) for the rest of the force and thought it looked ok - think you generally only notice the scale mismatch if the different minis are mounted on the same base, although I know that's a subjective thing. For things like Orks I mixed in classic ones amongst the more modern minis, as they are more over the place in terms of scale. Things like the demons (looks like Blood letters?) I would class in that category too - those were actually fairly large in the old game and I'm sure will appear in Legions at some point.

Noserenda Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Older scale models on titan bases don't look too bad alongside new scale stuff, I think my brain just classes them as terrain? :D Pacific81 and son of the forest 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6007710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Some classic minis as 'space savers' on bases always works well, especially when you are mini or two short of filling a full base for something! tinpact, Captain Idaho, son of the forest and 5 others 7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6007713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparika Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Sorry to hijack the thread, but the title seems to indicate it would be the right place to ask. Would you have any pointers to rules for Epic: Heresy. More specifically Epic Armageddon if possible since I have the rulebook but never had the occasion to play the rules or own Epic models.

Pacific81 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) No problem @Sparika If it's Epic Armageddon you want specifically, these are the (community made) rules for 30k: Epic Heresy AU If you want 40k Armageddon rules, these are again community support (and are 99% the same as the Epic Armageddon rulebook you have) Net Epic Armaggedon or this is the rules base that the UK tournament/events scene uses http://epic-uk.co.uk/wp/rules/ Noticing your signature, there is actually a French version of Epic Space Marine (which has since been known as Net Epic, once it switched to non-official support in the mid 2000s) called Epic Palladium - my understanding is that this game has the biggest community following and is most popular in France Net Epic Palladium Edited December 7, 2023 by Pacific81 Sparika and Cactus 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6008008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 For French-speaking folks, FERC is another E:A-based option that also has lists for 30k at https://www.epicarmageddon.fr/epic-30k-horus-heresie/ Sparika 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6008010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of the forest Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 So I decided to do some size comparisons with the new models compared to the old, think the old epic guard infantry are usable and also the revamped chaos marines aren't too small next to the imperialis marines.

Rolltonotdie Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Those Imperial Fists look gorgeous, the yellow is so nice! And I say that as an Iron Warriors player!

son of the forest Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Managed to get some more infantry finished, as well as added transfers to the contemptors and some of the infantry should pads. Was annoyed to find out that the base colour for my bases, Mechanicus standard grey, is completely different in spray form but don't think it stands out too much after the Weathering etc. Interrogator Stobz, Pacific81 and LameBeard 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6035575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crablezworth Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Dang, well worth grabbin the file in case you encounter a friend with a printer, as they're all free files it seems. There looks to be a few different poses as well. The same designer also has one for the lion and some pretty great assault marines in the midst of landing.

Pacific81 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Lovely work, I really like the bright and clean yellow tone. Quite often the Fists you see are toned down, but I think the extra pop works really well at this scale. Some very nice contrasting colours and base also. son of the forest 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379840-epic-heresy/#findComment-6049235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
