40k/30k epic General

gifts from resin santa edition

>Epic is an old specialist game from GW that was discontinued years ago, since then the community has taken over. Recently there have been rumors of FW releasing new Adeptus Titanicus rules soonish in early 2018.
>>Where do I get the rules?
>tp.net-armageddon.org/
>It's based off of the Epic Armageddon rule set, otherwise known as Epic 4th Ed, with some minor changes and new army lists. You can find the Epic30k supplement at www.epicau.com
>>Where do I get those fan made minis that show up everywhere?
>You go on any of the Facebook groups for Epic and lurk. Eventually ask politely if anyone has them for sale or trade and you might get a PM from someone who has contact info. Asking outright as your first message in any of these places will get you ignored.
>>Where else can I get miniatures?
>There is a lot of old epic stuff on Ebay and some manufacturers produce good proxies, like vanguardminiatures.co.uk/ and www.onslaughtminis.com.
>>What's the game like?
>Players alternate using parts of their armies called formations rather than moving and fighting with their entire force. Morale and fatigue is represented by giving “Blast Markers” to a formation when something bad happens to it, which gradually makes it less effective and stops more and more units in the formation from acting until they rally. The scale makes units with longer range weapons or high movement speed stand out more, makes maneuvering more important and allows for the use of many units that are super heavy or above in Warhammer 40 000, such as baneblades, fliers, knights and even titans. While still keeping regular tanks and infantry relevant and effective.The new 30k stuff is also great, thought development is apparently dead.

just started my first epic mini from resin santa. fucked up by not undercoating then drybrushing first, also used wrong shade but im getting better

Just posting what I've been able to collect so far. I'll need at least to armys to demonstrate the game at my FLGS. I'm thinking Imperial Guard and Orks.

If Adeptus Titanicus gets released we should mass email FW and GW telling them that we're only buying the models to use as proxys in Epic proper.

that exactly what ill be doing

I look forward to seeing the army painted and assembled, keep us posted and don't forget about the discord....

That is a solid start and orks vs guard are good armies to learn the game with.

Is there a skitarii army in this game?

Has anyone done solar aux models yet?

any tips for painting? doing the white then nuln oil then white dry brush but thats not working for the tanks. worked for the line troops though
