Yes, that's what this forum needs to encourage more epic stuff, something broadly similar to the last (http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=1650) lot...
I should draw deserved attention to the esteemed Man of Kent's excellent and eclectic Epic collection to be found hiding away in the depths of the Epic discussion board here:

My own stuff is somewhat more limited in scope. Epic was my first game (well actually that was Heroquest but I never actually -owned- that so it doesn't count) and I've done pretty much all the armies over the years. The bulk of that was ten or more years ago though, I couldn't paint for toffee then.
Had a rummage in the attic and dug out all my old stuff to be hurled onto Ebay (destroy all evidence of painting shoddiness) and found all manner of bits and pieces still on sprues (8 complete squat sprues anyone?) So obviously I have to turn all the money from Ebay auctions back into toy soldiers, that's just how it's done. Some's been thrown at a shiny new Space Hulk box the rest is to go onto Eldar bits (or will do so when I actually -win- an auction for a change).
So far then, I've spent little and managed to complete what will likely be my largest numerical formation in the form of an Eldar Warhost. It's not -quite- as quick a process as I'd hoped, they're more fiddly than I remembered and my usual obsession with accuracy is slowing the process Still, will have completed 2 formations and 600 points by the end of tonight (6 days total) so that's not -too- bad. Had to strip some of it too and will now strongly support Brake Fluid as a method for plastic models, worked a treat and I seem to have avoided being poisoned by the process...
Right, no more drivel time for pictures:

The whole lot, not very clear though. Epic stuff seems hard to photograph from any distance. Never mind, that's why I own a Macro lens.

The boss and his closest pals There's so much detail to do on these little command guys pretty much impossible to do proper gems though.
