From TomM: Burch's Bluff: The annual Pink entry (65 pts)

No Painting Challenge for me without entering something pink, and this year it's more reinforcements for my FWC Marine Corps / Epic 40k Chaos army.


And as such of course, they remain painted in glorious pink as the Emperor's Children keep terrorising the battlefields.

Now, in this year's challenge, there are various locations to go explore on the map, and this entry I linked to Burch's Bluff, where one needed to paint something that fits in the Warhammer 30k, better known as the Horus Heresy, setting.

A lot of these (aka, nearly all) models are 3D prints found on Thingiverse, and give a variety of vehicles and troops to the army.

Spearheading the force is the mighty Sicaran tank, a precursor to the Land Raider.  But the venerable Land Raider is of course present as well...

... as is it's mighty payload of Terminators to gorge into the enemy lines.



But I also painted up these three Knights (aka, a "Lance") of their ne Adeptus Titanicus game,  it's just a pity they upped the scale a bit, though they can now serve as more Titan scaled units in a game of Future War Commander as a result.


For scoring purposes as such, I have 9 models of infantry, and 6 basic vehicles, while for those that walk among them they are the size of a GW Fantasy figure, so I`d estimate 5 points each for those?  All that pink goodness for a nice tally of 31.5 points, adding the 30 of Burch's Bluff granting me the grande totale of 61.5 points.

For the Emperor!



Well thats a fine pink entry alright. i have tweaked things to give you 65 points for the extra size of your Knights 
and with that I will hand over duties to Dr Cooke who will be banging the minion rocks together tomorrow

    1. Unintentional question mark. It should be one of these!

  2. Very nice, I like the new scale Knights too, I reckon they're a closer match than the originals.
