Civs 40k Narrative Collection

So this is my epic guard army which kicked off the whole thing. As mentioned on other posts i never really saw 40k as a 28mm game. After reading the books and getting a feel for the massive battlefields of the 41st millennium epic scale was the only scale that looked right for me. Its also the only scale that i felt made sense in having artillery pieces and whole companies of battle tanks.

These are pretty much all 3d prints, given the height and overall small size it is really easy to print a lot off in very few batches. Especially on an Elegoo Saturn.

Tanks are mostly from the talented MKHand

The infantry are from Miffles_Makes

Woddish also does a load of great epic tanks, some of mine may have come from him also:

Given how few recommendations i had on this project i was very pleasantly surprised it had been noticed for a golden button.

I had better upload some more project pics and progress to show what ive been up to!

A bit of work in progress on these guys.

Faces are done, need to sort the hair and get the robes down, guy on the rights robes are mostly done going to see how I get on doing the other one.

Painted up some command support to aid this guard company in its heroic actions against the greenskin foes.

Ive always liked this psyker model and have always wondered if the headache is fr the power of the warp or the constant preaching of the local commissar. Either way he fits my image of a dishevelled guard psyker basically being used as a weapon and barely tolerated as a member of the company.

The commissar is another favourite but let’s be honest all the commissar models are top notch. Again im not sure how much use the power fist is ever going to get but it was fun to paint up. If im honest I still need to paint a little more of this one and tidy him up but he is passable for now.

These are my 10 veterans, they’re from the newer guard kit so have a bit more character in them. The hair on a few aren’t yet done, I was thinking of making them quite brightly coloured but haven’t quite settled on that yet as it would draw attention away from the fairly muted other colours. I didn’t really want the focal point of the model to end up being their hair.

I used to love these command figures when they first came out, so one definitely had to be in the army.

Not quite sure how practical the power fist will be on a squishy human but it looks cool so thats going in the army.

I gave his squad some veteran looking support and there is also a platoon standard as well but I’ve yet to paint that up so no picture at the moment.

I have a few power swords I need to work on, across my collection, now I’ve painted one that im happy with I can start copying this across my other ones.
