Legions Imperialis & Epic hobby chat!

[DuskRaider]

Welp… after saying how much I disliked the new Saturnine lore and whatnot, I went out and bought a box of Saturnine and the big bundle on the website along with a box of Fellblades. The rules are actually quite interesting, though I do feel a little bitter that I’m forced to take at least one detachment armed with Disruptor Fists which I find very situational. Perhaps they’ll be good against tanks? I don’t know. 
 

My buddies have gotten back into the game big time, sadly due to one having a house fire and having to replace his entire army. I told him to look at it on the bright side: he has a plethora of options now compared to when the game first started, so he can make a much more accurate and coherent army compared to what he had. 
 

I was able to get my first game in in quite a while this past weekend. 2,000 points, Dark Mechanicum vs Solar Auxilia. I ended up essentially tabling the Aux by Turn 3, massed Spiders are just scary, even with only Light AT those Laser Arrays just put so many dice down. 
 

I’m hoping to have everything assembled soon and if the weather cooperates, I’ll get it all primed. 
 

The Imperator has been primed an I did a little sponge work on the steel, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Time is pretty rare these days, as is motivation.

Those are excellent as always @malika666

 

Haven't posted here in a while as I am between Epic-scale projects. But am playing in an Epic Armageddon event tomorrow and realised I was missing a few bits, so have painted up these artillery and scouts (courtesy of Vanguard Miniatures) for my Crusade-era World Eaters

Had an excellent time at the EA event over the weekend, despite the World Eaters getting an absolute mauling from Steel Legion, Craftworld Eldar (ouch!) and then finally an all-Knight force. But, I always forget what a great game EA is, you have fun even when being mauled!

 

Some photos of the armies & games below, I will add others from a link later on as the file sizes are too large

@malika666 can I ask what printing services you would recommend (UK based) for anyone wanting to get hold of these brilliant designs?

 

Have got a lot of bits I need for objective markers for an event I am running and some of these would be perfect!
