Does anyone know if there are any really good detailed metal 6mm figures that would proxy as Imperial Guard Cadians?
The old Blue Werewolf range showcased on Kyussinchain's blog would have been perfect but I only found out about these after they stopped selling them! :(

These have stronger ankles too.

Those are quite nice - thanks!

Thanks!
I have recently bought a pile of Evil and Chaos' bases from this site as I saw them on the Onslought miniatures web site whilst purchasing a Dark Eldar army from them but didn't really stop to look at the figures. These will make excellent stormtrooper proxies.

He has winter infantry about to go for general sale that would work for DKoK as well.
Check out Solar Empire Marines from c&c for some more nice infantry. Probably the best cast in the business.

Wow, the force is definitely strong with that collection!
Very creative.
At least two and possibly three of us from our little group in the North West of England are going to be getting back into Epic Armageddon in 2015. I've already got a Dark Angels army which I'm in the process of basing/re-basing onto round bases this Christmas (from the ones that Troublemaker games does).
I've bought some Dark Eldar (Onslaught Miniatures) and will just use them as Eldar using the 'counts as' rule. I think I'm going to pay to have these painted by someone else. (Any takers if you can do a very high level?) :)
I am also slowly building up an IG collection from E-Bay. I've been rooting on the web and as one of my friends already has the IG, I've decided to do mine as 'Blood Pact' Traitor Guard. I will use the IG list and just use the 'counts as' rule. I'm going to paint these up myself over 2015 though. I've bought some Forgeworld Brass chaos icons which I will stick to some of the vehicles and I'm going to raid a friends 40K chaos bitz box to see if there are any other bits I can use to 'chaos-ify' the vehicles.
The aim is that by this time next year we will have Eldar, Orcs, Tau and IG (other players) and I will have Marines, Traitor Guard and Dark Eldar.

Sorry, I missed this in the Christmas madness. I look forward to see how your plans work out.
If you are still looking for a commision to paint the Epic, Paul did a load of stuff from the official Epic GW books and specialises in 6mm and Epic....

Cheers for the link.
Things are progressing well. I've nearly finished re basing 10K of Epic Dark Angels (puff, pant , wheeze) and am now starting to paint up my Warlord Titan. Looking to acquire some Imperial Navy support off evil bay next. Then that'll be the Astartes done. Played 2 games with them so far using EA and am getting back into the rules. I have 4 or 5 friends who are showing interest and pledging to buy armies (or dust off old ones).
Then the big project for me for 2015 is a 6K Traitor Guard army (Blood Pact). Been slowly acquiring what I 'need' from e bay and trades with friends.

Looking for some Tallarns?

Thanks for the link - yes, I am now aware of Trouble Maker Games' latest Kickstarter. Very nice!
Progress report: There are now 5 of us in our group who have all got back into Epic Armageddon. Between us we now cover all the main armies. We've played about 20 games to date and everyone is enjoying themselves.
I have about 8K of Dark Angels painted (from the old days) and (more recently) re-based onto Troublemaker games' round bases.
I have about 6K of Nids, half of which I've now painted. I've built and based the rest.
I have about 6K of Dark Eldar from Onslaught (Patiently sitting in a box)
I have about 6K of Imperial Guard which I am slowly "Corrupting" into Chaos Traitor Guard by modelling and adding spikes, brass etchings from Forgeworld and so on....

They look really good. I can see the potential for making quite a few trenches with gun towers or fortified outposts using those.
-
Oooh. They look nice.
Up date: I've painted up around 2K of nids, finished the marines and the titans.
Built and done some modelling on half of the IG traitor stuff but then stalled.
Back on warmaster stuff now: Painting up more chaos and vampire counts...
But I will return to Epic later in the year.

And another little announcement from Vanguard Miniatures' Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1453499117997383&id=1257474570933173):
A new addition to the VTOL range will be this skycrane variant which should be out in a few months time.
Due to continuing issues with the fragile tail fins on these models i've commissioned a resculpt of the weak area which has now been fixed by beefing up the tail booms and extending the horizontal stabiliser forward to greatly strengthen the whole area whilst keeping the overall aesthetic of the designs. This means a re-print and new moulds so the kakapo and moa once sold out will not be back in stock until the new moulds are created. I know this is not ideal but the problem needed addressing if the models are to remain part of the range.

The hunter houses a long barrelled high energy laser cannon capable of penetrating the heaviest armour making for a most effect tank hunter.
The hammer on the other hand has a completely different roll and houses a short barrelled heavy mortar designed to smash enemy fortifications to rubble in short order.
Most often seen supporting warrior mounted mechanised forces these vehicles are a powerful addition to the novan arsenal.

(https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15094399_1525035897510371_729686067929934317_n.jpg?oh=2e5ea9040e27cb1f784e1a83ca51673b&oe=58B3BA72)
The elites guardian tank is yet another product of Tusculum Nova’s most advanced research and development program to equip it’s elite forces with the most powerful weapons and equipment that can be provided. Guardian’s are intended to act as front line main battle tanks for elite forces a roll originally filled by the older scorpion designs which have now been relegated to a supporting roll for the mechanised squadrons. The hull bears a similar appearance to the mauler assault transport and was developed alongside that vehicle. Although smaller than the mauler it is none the less a very potent design heavily armed and armoured with an impressive turn of speed .
The core weapon system is a remote operated turret mounting a double barrelled railgun fireing either armour piercing or high explosive ammunition at extremely high velocity. The ammunition is stowed in the large automated ammo supply bin at the rear of the gun assembly. This arrangement allows the weapon to be operated by a single crewman.
Two sponson mounting points are also available these can be fitted with several weapon options with either the standard laser cannon or heavy machinegun being the most common choices and there is also a permanant forward hull MG fitted as standard.
In the guardian elite forces have a highly versatile and potent battle tank able to survive in the deadliest of warzones.
This pack contains 3 x guardian main battle tanks.

Sniper length 30mm, width 23mm, height 11mm this dosen't include the weapons mounts.
Mauler length 36mm, width 27mm, height 14mm again not including weapons.
Wellington, Gladstonian, & Avenger: length 40mm, width 20mm, height 12mm not including sponsons, the other two are the same sized hull but higher due to the weapons on board.

New prints for the elites again, two on foot assault sprues one with pistols and swords and one with double pistols.
They will be released as normal as i'm attempting to have monthly releases instead of large batches now and then.
These guys may well be out late next month.

A little message from Vanguard Miniatures:
Winter troops news, as everyone knows there is an issue with these figures ankles being weak so some breakages can occur at the moment i'm adding an extra sprue to each infantry pack to help cover this issue.
So anyway i've been working with ben to re-work the figures to resolve this issue here we have in ben's own words and explanation of the changes and an image to compare.
We've kept the original aesthetic as far as practical so the old and new figures should mix together no problem.
Changes include:
Proper hands instead of blocks.
More form-fitting coats instead of "bell shaped" coats.
Minor mod to the rifle.
Pose changes to be more dynamic (old figures all stood pretty straight up, these are now hunching forwards a bit.
Minor detail realignments (shoulderpads, head tilts, etc).
Overall they're pretty much the same as the long-established popular Winter Infantry sculpts, just a bit better quality, and obviously with the weak ankles dealt with. Not a huge update, but a needed one.

New version of the Kakapo (http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-kakapo-squadron/) arrived today we have increased the thickness of the tail booms and extended the horizontal stabilsers forward which seems to have sorted the weak tail fins issue.

Good news from Vanguard Miniatures for those who want to play around with their possible Predator proxies:
The Scorpion Tanks can now be purchased as a pack of just four hulls and all turret variants are now available individually this will allow you to purchase a squadron of four tanks with just the weapon combinations you need so kind of a modular build your own tank squadron approach. The two original three tank packs are still available but I think this new approach is more flexible and hopefully will prove a popular choice for customers.
Scorpion Tank Hulls x 4 (http://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/scorpion-tank-hulls-x-4/)

Need some reinforcements for your Novan Elites?
Novan Elites Hammer and Hunter Tanks - £6.00
(https://i2.wp.com/vanguardminiatures.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/P1050299hh.jpg)
(https://i1.wp.com/vanguardminiatures.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/P1050295v.jpg)
As Novan Elite forces grew to operate more independently from other elements of the Novan military, they were forced to develop vehicles and units normally assigned to the Novan Regulars. This means that the Novan Elites needed to develop their own siege tanks. A modification of the Trojan Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) hull was developed to match the Regulars’ Support Tank Hull. Like its Warrior IFV based brother, this variant of the Trojan has been armed with various weapon configurations – the two most popular being the Siege Cannon and the Heavy Laser Cannon.
The Trojan Hammer is a light siege tank, deployed to take out enemy bunkers and fortifications. Its Siege Cannon can easily turn armoured structures into rubble.
The Trojan Hunter’s role is that of a tank hunter. Its Heavy Laser Cannon has been designed to penetrate heavy armour and thick shielding, making the Trojan Hunter the perfect candidate to eliminate enemy tanks and even larger war engines.
Pack contains: 2 x hulls, 2 x siege cannon, 2 x laser cannon
