It's great to see someone else still uses the building from Epic Space Marine and Titan Legions.  I still have all of mine, and they are just as impressive when used for Epic EA.

It looks as though there were some good boards on show there too.

Wow, looks wicked - good show and well done all those promoting the real spirit of GW (at least from the 90s)...

Specialist Day, what a wonderful idea!!,

The photos are spectacular, i hope you Were able to attract a lot of followers.

Those Epic Orks are great! Kudos to the owner!  :P

Yep, that was a good day - the drive wasn't so great, but the event was fun. It seems that varying the games you play throughout the day is more enjoyable than just playing the same game system all day long.

I would love to attend something like this in the future. Seems unlikely though up here in the Great White North.

If the tables were a little taller the pictures wold have allot less crotch in them.  :o
