Entire Company of Imperial Fists. Epic or What?

So, I never thought that I would say this, but I am getting bored with painting Malifaux models.  A block seems to have set in, and I can't bring myself to start working on the last 4 Ten Thunders models to complete the first wave.  I have flipped around between painting my Trolls, my Cygnar, even some Infinity, but then I realised that what I really needed was a new project that was significantly different from my current ones, and that I could finish and complete.  And so, I dug out my Epic Marines.  These have been sat in my to do pile for several years, and I realised that they met my requirements.  And so I took them from this.

To this.

I finished 2 Landraiders, 4 Rhinos, a Whirlwind, 3 Hunters, and added 5 Landspeeders.

I'm going to call this a success, a project that was easy to complete, and has hopefully helped to break some of the painting block.

Epic Terrain

Well, project Epic continues.  As well as painting some of the huge pile of 6mm orks I have laying around, I moved on to making some terrain as well, with the ultimate intention of having something to play over as well.  So without further ado, some pictures. (Apologies for the poor quality, taken with a camera phone images)

First is an Ork Encampment.  Built mainly because I could.  2 small buildings, and the watchtower/crane thing can fit orky artillery pieces on them should they need to.  Not sure about the static grass on this.

This started with me builidng a tower of variously sized slottabases and then cutting them in half.  I wasn't suer how they were going to be painted until I actually did them.  the choice was either power generator type things (which won, cause I wanted to try the whole blending thing again), and hangers/barracks.  I think the right choice was made.

Finally, some of the bases of ruins that came with an e-bay lot that I won.  Three different colour schemes, 4 pieces each.  Not sure whether to leave these free standing as they are, or add some bases and make them into ruined buildings.

As ever, comments and criticism, suggestions encouraged.  Particularly in the area of other pieces that I could build without investing too much time or effort.

Best laid plans

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men and all that.  Last nights hobby goal was to get some more of my epic Orks painted, and finish my first Goff Big Mob.  So obviously, the first thing that I did was start painting this.

An epic scale Basilisk I got from an E-bay auction.  Its worth noting the miniature is tiny, and mostly done with simple washes and drybrushing.  Its also been photographed with my phones camera, and so the shots may be (are) a little dodgy.  The weathering at the bottom is a lot less noticeable in the flesh as it were, and will match the terrain that I have in mind (desert set).  It also matches the bases of the orks, which I was supposed to have painted, but failed miserably to do.

And for some eye candy (I hope), the resurrectionist gang for Malifaux that I finished a while ago, and only got around to varnishing recently.

As always, comments and advice welcomed
