Epic 30k has really caught my imagination. It is played at a scale where Thunderhawks and super heavy tanks make sense. Naturally, I had to have a flight of Thunderhawks. Yep, you heard that right. I have a full 8 of these guys to paint. They are split evenly between transporters carrying rhinos, and the traditional gunship model pictured here. I plan to paint at least two different legions, possibly four, in order to play Istavaan III, so quite a few were needed. When they aren't being used for Epic, or Aeronautica Imperialis (think X-Wing but 40k), they will sit on the shelf fueling my imagination.

Sons of Horus Thunderhawk Epic Scale

Beauty, eh!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be seeing her in combat once our armies are done! Better paint up some AA. :)
DeleteLoving your Epic posts, and these SoH minis are looking so good! With GW announcing the return of specialist games, I'm hoping to do my Death Guard in Epic scale soon!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see those. I would love for us to have a full weekend of 30k/Epic 30k, but I suspect our community is spread too far. On the bright side, epic does travel extremely well.
DeleteExtremely jealous. Would love to have picked up some Thunderhawks before FW pulled their range.
ReplyDeleteGreat paint job, look forward to seeing the rest done in different Legion colours.
Wonderful stuff as ever and I think Epic is the only way I'd ever be able to get a SoH force into play.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work John. Are you sure you don't actually have access to a shrink ray? I'm amazed at the detail and clarity you get out of these models. Your techniques scale magnificently.
