Epic scale OPR?

Hello all. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm looking for info/suggestions.

I'm a big fan of the various editions of Epic 40k by Games Workshop and played a lot of it as a kid back in the late 80s and early 90s. My favourite editions are 2nd (Epic Space Marine) and 4th (Epic Armageddon).

I know that there is no official OPR ruleset for Epic scale (6–8 mm) sci-fi battles, but I'm wondering if there are any fan-made rules that would work at that scale. Any suggestions on how to make it work using OPR mechanics would also be appreciated.

I'm pretty new to OPR but have really enjoyed the Grimdark Future games I've played so far, and I think an Epic scale version would be great fun.

Thanks in advance.

Banelord proxy

I'm really looking forward to slapping some paint on the banelord titan proxy.

It does have a swirly mechanical tail, but it's really short and I'm tempted to sculpt a more substantial one.

3D printed daemons

I'm starting to paint daemons for my Word Bearers' daemon pool, which means dealing with a bunch of 3D printed warp denizens.

This bloodthirster (by EpicRich) is a gorgeous model, but fragile. The bloodletters (not pictured) are similarly fragile, with their hellblades snapping rather easily if handled incorrectly.

I will paint them up anyway, and time will tell how long they survive!

Squats! (Please stop me)

I found a really great set of STL files on the purple site for a mere US$15 that hit me right in the nostalgia. Naturally, I purchased them immediately and now I have a plethora of files for printing every glorious squat unit you could possibly imagine. And yes, there's a land train!

​

I'm half way through a large CSM army and I need another army like I need a hole in my head, so please tell me "no!" and "do not start another army!".

​

If you want a link to the squat army files, just send me a message. They are really fun. :)

10 mm British army general officer, Peninsular War

I was sorting through old photos last night and came across this fine gentleman—a 10 mm scale British officer I painted back in 2018 for a Peninsular War project that, sadly, never got finished.

​

There's a box full of British, Portuguese, Spanish, and of course, French 10 mm troops sitting on a shelf in my hobby room. Hopefully I'll get back to them at some point in the future... once I've finished with the three Epic 40k armies I'm fighting with!

​

Thanks for looking!

Sam

Dwarf giant slayer (Marauder, 1993)

Hello everyone! I'm new to the sub, but thought you might like my Marauder dwarf giant slayer. This fellow is one of my all-time favourite dwarf miniatures, but 10-yr-old me never got to buy him when he was released with the other Marauder slayers in 1993. I finally grabbed him on eBay a few years ago and painted him up. Hope you all like him as much as I do!

New account, same old grog

Hello everyone! Somehow, I have gotten myself locked out of my old account (u/Plasma_Ass), so I've created this new account instead.

Pics are of some of my recent Epic scale Word Bearers as the best form of "proof" I can think of. Not great, I know, but the best I could come up with. You'll just have to take my word for it, but I can assure you all that I am me. Or at least I was the last time I checked!
