Epic Imperial Valkyrie from the Forgeworld display cabinets at GamesDay 2006…
Epic Imperial Valkyrie, yes this is the Epic model.

The glow is not engine failure, but some kind of lighting issues in the cabinets.

Epic Imperial Navy Marauder Bomber Heavy Flyer.

With a future model I may paint the armour panels in a similar style to my Junkatrukks but with this model I am going down the dirty rusty armour style.
The black painted howdah was drybrushed with Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
Next stage is to do the skin of the Squiggoth.
This was an entry in the UK 2006 Golden Demon Awards.
There is some scratchbuilding and use of Chaos Androids.

Forgeworld Epic from their display cabinets at GamesDay 2005.
This is a demonstration/participation game of Epic Armageddon.
From GamesDay 2005.
Seems to have a real mix of forces including Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Eldar and Orks.
The game is also making use of the Forgeworld Epic buildings.
I recently purchased the Epic Ruined Librarium from Forgeworld.
Partly as I like the model and partly as it would seem that Forgeworld are deleting their Epic scenery. You can no longer get the Cathedral or the Tank Factory for example.
One of the key things you need to do with virtually all Forgeworld models is to give them a good wash.
When the Forgeworld models are cast, the mould is given a spray (I guess) of some kind of lubricant to allow the cast model to be released from the mould easily.
However the lubricant also acts as a barrier to paint, so as happened with previous models I (and others) have painted is that the paint flecks off.
Washing the model in water with a drop of washing up liquid should remove the lubricant.
Avoid using hot water as this could warp the resin (a useful tip if you need to warped resin back to its original shape).
Once washed the model is then ready for painting.
