Warhammer 40K Epic Customs from my past

Post by Red Baron »

I thought some of you might enjoy some of these, which I've just unwrapper having moved last year. These are the best (my favourites) of a little wooden tea box of mostly Epic scale Warhammer minatures. I never played the games, but loved painting and customising the minatures. I do have some standard size models of Orks, Space Marines, Eldar and Nurgle warriors, but my favourites were these tiny Epic ones. To give an idea of scale, the rocket firing Space Marine is c.1.2cm high x c.3cm to the tip of the missile. The largest here - the Titan - is c.7cm high. All the other vehicles and figures are to the same scale. Hope you like them.

My favourite.  An Ork Battlewagon custom of a Rhino tank.  This was modelled from one in the Games Workshop painting awards in the year I made it, although the original was in the standard size, which I miniturised

Another one I always liked, with the rocket firing from the Space Marine's bazooka.  I also have a firing Space Marine on his in flight rocket pack, but it's in need of repair

Thanks for sharing :-D
You're a lot like me, I used to spend hours painting 40k stuff too, but never played the games themselves.

I like the Epic scale Rhino's of yours,the engineering vehicles look great...

Here's a picture of my one & only Titan, along side Luke Skywalker, hopefully it gives a scale reference to anyone who's not familier with Epic scale stuff & how much hard work Red Baron's put into such a tiny model 8-)
That's the same space marine standing under the Titan as Red Baron's firing the missile!

I never played Epic but WarHammer and WarHammer 40,000 are fun or at least were.

Nice paint job on that Titan T'shot. Glad you liked the pictures. The Rhino customs were probably what I started with as they were relatively simple. I used to use a lot of spares and bits from 1:32 Tamiya models, which I was also in to at the time. Few of them survive in any great condition.
