The scenery is excellent too. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Post by: Vermis on March 25, 2015, 08:19:43 PM: Really nice. :) Very effective paintjobs.

Vanvlak: unless I miss my guess, it's a Copplestone 10mm half-orc character! With a bit of conversion too. Looks good!

Nail on the head!

Very nice force you have there 8) 8) 8)

Of course, nice being a subjective word when referring to Pappa Nurgle ;D

cheers

Post by: Miantanomo on March 25, 2015, 11:08:43 PM: Excellent! I love how grim it all is :)

I could not agree more. I have mounted all my epic armies on the original 5 man square bases even though it has cost me some to find the extras I needed. They fit with the modern/SciFi squad organizational structure better. A line of infantry seemed foolish but hey the game was designed by Brits who used to fight in bright read uniforms with white webbing forming an X across their chest. lol lol lol

Post by: Suber on March 26, 2015, 08:36:46 AM: Absolutely delightful! (Not sure if that's the word when we talk about Nurgle, but well, you know...). Wonderful army, clever use of minis, really nice results!

Post by: Dr. Zombie on March 26, 2015, 08:41:22 AM: This is great. The scenery is not bad either.

Post by: roberto on March 26, 2015, 08:48:58 AM: Thanks for kind words chaps!

The great thing about 6mm is how easy it is to get decent results (especially when it's grimy army like nurgle) most of the miniatures were just base coat > wash > dry brush.

Post by: Major_Gilbear on March 26, 2015, 08:49:31 AM: Gorgeous army you have there! :-*

I especially like all the 40k-scale Daemons that look really good as bigger beasties for the 6mm stuff. :)

Post by: Tactalvanic on March 26, 2015, 09:31:32 AM: Brilliant work - agree on the basing to, good choice - never bothered with the lines either - stuck with the 5 man bases always.

British sense of fair play for you :D

Post by: Vermis on March 26, 2015, 12:41:04 PM: I never minded the line bases, but then I discovered GW during Epic 40K, so that's what I'm used to seeing.
Maybe I'm being a bit naive about warfare, but I saw them less as parade ground ranks and more like squads spreading out to cover more ground. It's helped by the fact that the strip bases give them a bit more 'zone of control' in Epic: Armageddon. ;) In any case it seemed a bit less daft to me than standing in a tight little scrum in a perfect X every time. :D To that end, if I ever get me SMs painted up and plastic skinnerz from Troublemaker arrive, I'm putting the former on strip bases and the latter on round bases. Fits my own personal aesthetics of 'disciplined' troops vs. reckless mobs.

Post by: cheetor on March 29, 2015, 01:18:56 PM: As the owner of pretty decent Nurgle marine forces in 28mm and 6mm I feel qualified to say that this is first class stuff :-* :-

Brilliant!
