Subject: Old Epic figures

Just a quick message to anyone who is interested.

I will be taking my old Epic miniatures to this years SALUTE show to put in
the bring and buy sale. The collection is big and consists of Imperial guard
and Space Marines. I think I had every type of unit available up to the
release of the titan legions supplement.

I'm a bit concerned about items disapearing from the bring and buy stall so if
anyone is going to SALUTE and would like to buy any of these miniatures let me
know off list and I will arrange to meet up and sell items individually.

I'm trying to borrow a digital cammera so people can see what they look like.

Thank you for your time.

Okay, I guess I can admit I have no GW miniatures (except for a few I picked
up in a grab bag, I think) so are Epic figures like 6mm???

Yes, GW claims the Epic line was 6mm. Some are too odd looking for
me, but I am using the old IG Basilisk SPA for my main on-table
artillery.

The very first sets of plastic infantry, before they started adding all the
extra chrome/weirdness, I found very useful. The bulk of my human
infantry are the imperial guard or space marines, I also use the eldar (with
the top of the helmet cropped off). The Orcs I use as generic "bipedal green
aliens with tusks" and some of the Tyranids. I don't use the squats aka dwarfs
/
dwarves or the more recent sets of eldar with all the "aspect" warriors
-
too weird.

I also use the, IIRC OOP, Eldar tempest as a heavy grav tank and the "Doom
Weaver" as a grav SPG. The hulls from some Doom Weavers have also been "kit
bashed" in to a CBR vehicle and some MRL vehicles.
