The terrible Epic buildings

I got them off of eBay from so dude in the EU. I bitched a storm about there shitty quality. here;

         They sat in a box since while I brewed about them. Unpacking all my stuff spit these terrible bastards out again. I have some free time between jobs and all my stuff. Out came the saws and cutters. And a shit ton of greenstuff + plastic card.

        I wanted an old school-ish large building. I will use the STC tank factory foot print as a base. (it is 100x100mm FW square, sort of square)

6 total. 4 long and 2 square ones

         After all the green stuff and plastic card re-enforcement, it’s foot print is too large for the STC tank factory. Had to go wife by 2 cms. If I am designing a custom base, why not go balls deep.

          The two long side will have a strong foundation. While the center structures will get some steps and details.

NEAT 2018

NEAT 2018.

         It was a 5 hour drive that turned into 8. Lucky me, there was a store right off the exit that had cold Bud and scotch for 50. I was afraid the Time Machine would be closed. It wasn’t, but all my mates left. So I put their armies on Ebay, pounded 4 beers.

        I got a game of Warmaster in. The magic version. Karl spotted me an army, the rat dudes. And then I got to play Karl, Dave’s ancient Eldar dudes. Karl smoked me.

One of the other Warmaster games.
That was Friday night. Off to the Holiday Inn. Up Saturday for the Epic Tourney.
The tables, most of them. iPhone 6 battery disease worked my photo taking.

My list:

 I was the ass with the Warlord. I went 1-2. It showed I had no practice with the list. Where to drop must be practiced!

 Dino even spotted me a tasty stick. Thanks man!

Epic Tau

For some reason the blue came out way too dark. I had to go back and highlight them (which i never do) with a super light blue.

 More Path Finders. Yes I need more. Not FW, they metal dudes from onslaught??

 More Recon. Of course more. Not FW, china forge. I do need to figure out where my little metal sticks are. After that I can base them. Steve and Kal were nice enough to spot me the old school GW rounds that these dudes go on.

More Skyrays. I do not need more. I don’t even like them so much any more. Yet they were base coated and kicking around. China Forge again.

Epic IFs Vs Sisters

 Best table around and 1.25 drinks. Can’t be beat. It was to be the PA group’s first gaming day. Some had travel issue, other work issues. It was just me and Kal again. Kal was test running the Sister’s list.

There is no battle report. I am worn out with the reports currently. I only want to play and have fun. Not worry about recording every step. 
My list;
         Note: I am 100 points over. Testing discounted Whirlwinds. Extra points purchased the SC upgrade.

Kal’s list
         Note: The lighting Strike fighters are amazing for 150. Holy shit!
