Here is an Imperial Guard Hydra conversion from Simon’s collection.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
It’s a Chimera hull (an artillery hull) but with an AA turret. Now I can’t recall the origin of that AA weapon.

Ork Pulsa Rokkit
One model which worked well in Epic was Pulsa Rokkits.
There use to be a metal version for Warhammer 40K, but Pulsa Rokkits were kind of ignored for a few years
In the current version of Warhammer 40K there are no models and no rules in the new Ork Codex. However there are rules for Apocalypse.
As a result I am thinking about building one for my 40K Orks using a 1/300th Space Shuttle kit.
I am less interested in the Shuttle, more interested in using the rocket boosters and the fuel tank!
Hmmm.
Epic Imperial Guard Salamander
Here is an Imperial Guard Salamander from Simon’s collection slowly moving through the ruins of an Imperial ruined city.
The Salamander command vehicle is one of the many vehicles based on the flexible Chimera chassis. Armoured Company command sections are often equipped with the Salamander Command vehicle, allowing them and their Chimera borne infantry keep up during an assault and support the tanks.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
I am pretty sure that these are Griffon hulls, as for the gunners, well would you believe me if I said they were Ork Buggy Gunners?
Epic Airfield
This is the wonderful Epic Aeronautica Imperialis Forge World Airfield which was on display at GamesDay 2008 (and other shows). It is also featured in the Modelling Masterclass Volume I.
Really nicely done and beauifully painted aircraft too.
I really like the tundra snow effect and scenery, very well done.
Epic Imperial Guard AVRE
Here is an Imperial Guard Engineers conversion from Simon’s collection.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
It’s the hull from a Deathstrike Missile Launcher with the “claw” from an Ork Battlewagon.
From a fluff perspective, it can be easily imagined that an Ork army overtook an Imperial Guard tank factory and utilised many of the components including cranes on their own tanks and battlewagons.
Of course calling it an AVRE is a bit of a misnomer as I guess the Imperial Guard don’t have Royal Engineers, or do they?
Epic Imperial Guard Leman Russ conversion
Here is an Imperial Guard Leman Russ conversion from Simon’s collection.
These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago.
It’s a Leman Russ but with an Ork turret.
From a fluff perspective, it can be easily imagined that an Ork army overtook an Imperial Guard tank factory and utilised many of the components including the turrets on their own tanks and battlewagons.
If I remember correctly, from Simon’s perspective I think it was because he had all the Ork vehicles from the Epic 40000 boxed set that he decided to use the Ork turrets. I have posted another conversion to the blog before.
Epic Ork Lungbursta
Ork Lungbursta tanks move across the verdant green fields of an Imperial world.
These are original Epic models from the early 1990s.
You can see how I painted them on their workbench feature. More photographs of Epic Ork miniatures.
How I made the terrain they are photographed on.
Epic Ork Landa
I did like the Epic Ork Landa when it came out. This is mine alongside a Forge World gunwagon.
I have been thinking for some time about making my own Ork Landa for my Warhammer 40K Ork forces, but kind of never really got around to it.
See more photographs of Epic miniatures.
Might of the Imperium
Of the many display games at GamesDay 2001, one of many which caught my eye was this Epic game involving the might of the Imperium. There are Space Marines fighting alongside the mighty Warlord Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
