Sorry, I didn't post a picture as I didn't want to get accused of threadjacking.

Here's the kind of thing I mean.  I still only have these basecoated since the pic was taken, they're in my basecoated lead mountain!

Nice - I didn't know that infantry are plastic.

Yeah, unfortunately, the infantry for Epic aren't much cheaper than the metals - and the sprues are the same as they were in the mid to late 90s. =-/

The Terminators, Scouts and special character blisters are metal, but just metal versions of the plastic models.  The detail is abysmal compared with the better vehicles or Warmaster stands. =-P

The FW icons are SO fragile, I already lost part of one of the crossbones just spraying / hand painting them. =-<

That's great!  Those little rune plates are my favourites, I put them on my Sky Claws!

They're a pain to bend though - but they're what make the SW etch the best value for money of all the space marine stuff from FW.

I bend them by gluing one edge to the model and then using wooden stick to align - after that I glue it to the model completely

Very impressive on this scale. Is each squadron going to have their own markings or are all four of these ships part of one squadron?

I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.
