This Biologis Putrifier shambles over the line too.
Now for about a million Poxwalkers.

Re: What did you do today.
All aboard the Heresy train, choo-choo, &c.
I went with vanilla Death Guard just for fun in the end. Many thanks to jus for printing these up for me! (I should have another request lined up shortly.)
This is mostly just an excuse to flex my microarmor muscles after a bit of a break, but if anyone is interested in a little Epic 30K escalation league or something, I'll remind you all that the Epic Armageddon rules are some of the best GW has ever made (in my opinion), free STLs of marines are pretty dang easy to find, and failing that, slightly-smaller plastic epic marines from previous editions are all over the place on eBay.

Re: What did you do today.
Wow, it sure is Death Guard in here. Nice work guys.
#edit# - Are those custom size bases?
Right game, wrong vintage (in my opinion), but EA isn't bad. I still have some of the 1st ed Space Marine minis and an old school Warlord. I know the titan is terribly out of scale, but what is the difference between the infantry like?The Other Dave wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 7:08 amI'll remind you all that the Epic Armageddon rules are some of the best GW has ever made (in my opinion)

Re: What did you do today.
Not too bad, really - there was a bit of scale creep in Epic and later plastic infantry releases are actually pretty close to 8mm. As you'd expect, it's infantry : tanks : titans :: you probably won't notice unless they're sharing a base : hmm, these look kind of small : holy smokes.Primarch wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 10:44 amWow, it sure is Death Guard in here.

So yeah, obviously a different scale when you put them side by side, but on the table you probably won't really notice.
These are 40mm x 20mm - EA allows any bases as long as their longest dimension is no shorter than 20mm and no longer than 40mm. Lots of people in the "3D printing Epic 30K" crowd are going for 30mm rounds, but I happened to have a bunch of these lying around from my Warmaster-curious days.

Love the little Death Guard!
Poxwalkers! Only 20 more to go
I did my first batch of 10 with more subdued colours but since I'll want to be able to quickly sort them into squads each subsequent batch of 10 is going to get something bright and distinguishing.

Re: What did you do today.
It's the other purple guys with Slaaneshi entanglements!
These are the ones I bought the Luxion Purple for in the first place. They're also sporting some Leviathan Purple but it's darker than I expected.
Re: What did you do today.
The steel effect on the shoulder pads is interesting and really stands out from the rest of the model. The steel has like a hammered texture and sort of a oily look. So I'm guessing just GW whateversilver and Nuln Oil?Jye Nicolson wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 2:14 amJye Nicolson wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 3:15 amThat Lucius in particular is tempting me to start a Loyalist Emperor's Children force just to squish him though. #TeamTarvitz

Re: What did you do today.
I finished off my first Novamarines model. Well, it's not exactly finished. I still need to get some transfers for it, as I don't think I can freehand the insignia.

Re: What did you do today.
Those look good! What will you run them as on the tabletop?
