+ inload: The Oldhammer movement and Epic +
+ One of the games particularly interested me, and that was LegioCustodes' of Oldhammer 40k [+noospheric inloadlink embedded+] Epic-scale work. Really fantastic (got and have a look at his Flesh Tearers), and got me fired up with the Epic bug again. +
+ I thought I'd dig into my bits box and paint up some Word Bearers. I've been umming and erring about painting some Renegade Marines for a while. They've got a number of advantages:
- Classic red scheme to indulge some John Blanche inspired techniques.
- Opportunity for a lot of variation.
- Good excuse for lots of different styles.
- They're baddies, so there's more narrative possibilities when facing the most common armies (loyalist Space Marines).
- They tie in nicely with my Ultramarines army and joint-blog with Doghouse, furthering the Calth theme.
+ Anywhere, here's the first group, including a motley mix of Epic marines – third-party troopers, some from the awesome plastic Epic 40,000 sprue, and a veteran lead Rhino of the Long War (the 90s).
+ The Rhino got boltgun metal doors to echo the shoulder pads of the Chapter. +
+ I haven't got an army list or anything worked out. I'm just going to paint up the bits I have, and then add some stuff until I'm happy. While I'm most likely to use these with the Epic: Armageddon rules (because they're brilliant!), I want to just let these grow organically from stuff I'm enthusiastic about, in the grand tradition of my younger self! +
