Epic - New Templars - pt3 - Termis and Tanks

Had an Game session on Saturday in the more southern suburbs.

3 tables worth of Epic games !!  simultaneously, and in sydney !!  unprecedented in recent times.

Unfortunately i had to leave early but managed to get a full, single game in. And from the reports "one and done" was the order of the day.  Still, pretty cool.


On Sunday i managed to finish off painting the latest batch of stuff for the new army.  Took a while but 'winter', plus i was out for a week with flu (like real flu this time with antibiotics and everything).

These...

...were the last things i printed off before giving the printer a spell.

This...

...is all the newest prints painted.
1x Whirlwinds, 2x Predator Annihilators, 1x Predator Destructors, 3 Rhinos, 2x Stalkers, 2x Terminators + Chaplains. 

And this...

...is everything i've done from the new project so far.

In all, i rough calculate that there's about 3,400 points there. So enough for a standard game if required.

However there's probably on 2 or 3 formations that i'd actually use given my play style. And there's definitely not the minimum requirements for my true Templar list.

So time to fire up the printer again... however i need to do some work on the models i'm going to be using i think... so no rush. 

On all these models i've finished them with 2 coats of 'storm shield' which is a clear matt 'varnish'. Not that they take a beating but thought i'd try it out. doesn't seem to have affected the colour too much so am happy. Perhaps the basing looks a little glossier and mono-chrome that without it, but [shrug].

I'm kind of at a stage where i need to start thinking about storage too. I'm not sure whether i'll go down the magnetic sheet route.
Magnets will be involved, but i'm not sure i want to be cutting up big sheets of magnets again.
i'm thinking perhaps cutting blocks off a strip-roll if possible and perhaps magnetising to just a metal plate rather than magnet on magnet... dunno.

Anyway, progress has been made. I guess i'm probably a third of the way into the project. Am keen to start on others (but will refrain) having played Eldar on the weekend (was fun) so inspired to get them happen... plus tyranids still... plus everything else.

Until next time...
