Warhammer 40k EPIC: ARMAGEDDON - A whole new level!! (but still tiny)

[@jrawrf]

Can we just get a whole new channel of Dave making Warhammer Epic content and call it "Tiny Top Time"?

[@cedonuli]

It’s Tiny Tank Time!

[@High-LordHarza]

only if he wears an appropriate to the name small top /s

[@digidragon1]

Now make the tanks kiss

[@TabletopTime]

I did, don't worry. They kyithed

[@ShuTheIdiot]

@@TabletopTime good.

[@drguineapig8755]

HERESY

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Slaanesh tanks?! 😱

[@NateMcQuade]

It makes the 14 year old in me so happy to see Epic getting this much love. Your Doomcrawler design is absolutely inspired, and I'm sure the Chaos gods themselves would be envious. Brilliant work, my dude, never stop.

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou that means a lot!

[@Draekal]

As someone who played a little bit of Epic when they were (much) younger this really makes me want to get a 3D printer and get an army made

[@ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

Do it! Join us!

[@sirmonkeyboy1789]

I was around in that era, you absolutely hit the mark. Well done… I cannot express how much I fucking love this.

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou, I'm glad it hit the right spot. It was so fun to make

[@Schneedrache06]

That doom crawler came out awesome Dave, great job!

[@CyberSammael]

I really appreciate you shining a light on the NetEA project. It's never easy to keep these games alive and any project like this needs exposure and new people discovering it. A lot of those old Chaos Engines are very much 'of their time' but have real potential for an update.

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Your doomcrawler is just stellar! A wonderful reimagining, perfectly fitting. I absolutely adore how it turned out.

[@charlessmith299]

And now it's coming back!

[@Nigelius]

Your 3D modelling work is looking great Dave!

[@yellheahtris]

I think my favorite part of this channel is how indepth the customization goes and what we all get to see. Wether its Dave's 3D modeling, or Jenn's Photoshop/Illustrator, or anything like the panel mural we got to see previously, its nice to get your thought processes on what you're making while you're doing it.

[@tseftz]

Congrats to whoever edited this - sneaking in the Deep Rock Galactic pod launch noise as you say 'dive' at about 0:35. I had to replay that about four times to make sure I wasn't imaging it!

[@lordhamster9452]

“Oh, it’s Beautiful!” Not just the engine, but also tanks, and the marines too.

[@andresmoonero5634]

My buddy and I traveled in my RV all winter chasing powder in Colorado (I live in San Diego). Before the trip, we contemplated bringing our 2k point 40k armies; but the terrain and table wouldn’t fit in my tiny RV. We found on Etsy some awesome 6mm scale miniatures for all the armies we have, and bought units to run armies we’ve always wanted to. We scaled down regular 40k down to epic scale, including finding terrain, and we’re playing 2000 point 40k on a 15”x 22” table in my tiny rv in the parking lot of the ski resorts lol. Smoking our tobacco pipes and watching lord of the rings on the projector. Long story short. Highly recommend. We banged out a game in less than an hour so we’d get a couple in a night!

[@Lord_Brownie]

The Khorne symbol as the treads is genius

[@bolicob]

As someone who's way to young to have played when it first released, there is something so satisfying about the abstracted detail of the teeny models

[@Viriditas]

Doom crawler looks super cool! Totally inspiring me to give the digital sculpting a go!

[@ChromaSoul]

Great video! I got into Epic scale stuff a few years ago. It's so nice seeing other hobbyists keeping the game/concept alive.

[@The0Stroy]

Also - that black stripes on yellow can also mean crossing out yellow which is the color of the main rivals of Iron Warriors - Imperial Fists.

[@gran9968]

I remember playing Netea over tabletop simulator and using termites drills as proxies for my Doomblasters, they were such good units! Seeing this makes my world eaters loving heart very happy! Lovely video

[@fiasofia7407]

that little "hih" in the end just nice touch to end the video, it's like his inner child just awoke!

[@johnhanley5546]

happy memories!!! - I was there for the first of just about everything in GW and enjoyed Space Hulk (1st) best followed by Epic (1st) and Judge Dredd (1st ed) .... yeah I'm old!!!

[@christyrogers7707]

I had both those 1st editions when they came out too, I only let them go a couple of years ago because we moved to France, big mistake, really wished I hadn't! ☹️

[@elsimian3483]

Same here - fun fact the Death Guard used to be light grey with red pauldrons - check out the box art. The short stories in White Dwarf and the original Space Marine rules about the Horus Heresy were awesome too.

[@minipaintingforyou]

When I bought my very first box of space marine assault marines, 40k and epic were pretty much neck and neck. I don’t regret picking 40k, but since AT is by far the best scifi game GW make, imo, I‘d be very interested in a revived epic 40k. I may or may not have a load of epic scale minis, bought with the intention of using them as basing material for AT. They’re not yet glued down, tho, so….. =)

[@euansmith3699]

I feel that Epic is the "correct" scale for 40k; it allows for larger engagements that can be played in a reasonable space and time. As a crusty old Grognard, I heartily approve of the Metal bombast of the new BOOOOOOOOOM BLASTAAAAAAH!!!! 😍

[@ericloken7445]

Great model, it looks fantastic when painted. My only concern is it is rather large compared to the Predators, BUT, if it is supposed to be a super heavy, then it is just fine.

[@michakoodziej5741]

Beautiful models !

[@Gstrowes]

I've got a massive Imperial Guard army for E:A I loved that game, The IG was a really powerful force in the game, the amount of artillery you could unleash on your opponent was insane.

[@Nanolis]

Back in WW2, Shermans had a massive drum attachment that went on the front of the chassis with a bunch of ball and chain flails. Was used for mine clearing mainly, but the front roller really reminded me of it. Plus the Shermans outfitted with it were designated as Crab, so would fit the crab claws.

[@AzraelThanatos]

If you want an easier way to do the hazard stripes, a good option is to shift from paint to the fine tipped sharpies, then sealing them.

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

Loving the small scale stuff so nostalgic. Perfect sculpt of the model, modern yet oldschool at the same time.

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

I love that Doomcrawler! Still suitably derpy, but so many lovely details; I absolutely love those Khorne tracks to bits!

[@ColourOfTheGods]

Man, this is great - you're inspiring me to get into 3d sculpting now with that gigantic skull/doom/wagon/mortar thing

[@SeraphimKnight]

The khorne rune pattern threads is either genius or absolutely stupid... either way I love it!

[@norefle]

I love the slight titanic vibe in the doomcrawler! Amazing sculpting job 👏

[@roryowens9703]

I had a huge Dark Angels/Imperial tanks/Titans army when I was in my early teens. Such a fun game to play, on a scale that no other Warhammer game could match.

[@TheLaensman]

That home-sculpt looks truly epic *pun intended* Would love to see more content like this, even a battle report *wink wink nudge nudge*

[@marafey7412]

Great work, Dave! Love seeing how you reimagined a model to make it more in line with something you thought would be cool in your army. You did a great job with all the super tiny hazard stripes!

[@Wolfineer_]

There is just something really endearing about collecting and painting small scale, I play The 9th Age in 28mm but I can't stop myself from printing and painting several armies and terrain in 10mm scale.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

WOW. That…thing…you made looks amazing! Great level of detail,and you really made something derpy cool!!!

[@fridaemmamadeleine]

You have really outdone yourself this time! That tank was truly a work of art!

[@jacobkotten338]

Like how u used khornes symbol as the treads really cool

[@hughmac7423]

I have a whole lot of Epic models from the 1990's, they were fun to play with back then. I really liked your video and what you created.

[@CephalopodsRock]

3D printing is interesting, but normal these days. But imagine what folks back in 2003 would have thought about it. It would have seemed like black magic. Truly awesome that it’s keeping this old game alive 🤘

[@badwitchproject]

Played the original Epic games and I absolutely love this! Wish GW would take all this love for an abandoned game and release it back to the world.

[@stonehorsegaming]

As someone who played Epic way back in the mid 90's... yeah that embodies the GW model perfectly. If I had access to a 3D printer I'd print a shit load of those to use in my Epic Chaos force. Also, the Iron Warriors colour scheme works so well on the Khorne Daemon Engines.

[@dnate4946]

makes me want to start 3d printing my own epic models

[@crakerkid]

just awesome. i wish i had a 3d printer to print my own. Will have to see if a friend will print for me.

[@alek.e202]

Your redesign of this ancient chaosist's mini is very cool!

[@johnbarton1941]

Great job! I remember I had an Imperial Guard army and a custom made Commissar Yarrick stand with a power claw. Good times

[@JakeStaines]

The 2nd edition of Space Marine was my first GW boxed game in '91; I kept playing it right the way through to the release of Epic Armageddon, which killed all my interest. I'm sure it was a fine game but it was different enough to feel like they killed the thing I loved and dressed up some rando they found in the street with a suit made out of its skin, wearing its face as a mask. Anyway, that whole time I mostly played chaos undivided, with a huge army with a hundred or so vehicles, a dozen titans, more infantry than you could shake a plastic 1995 whippy measuring stick at - including the old trolls and minotaurs and everything. Not a single Doom Blaster, because whatever it did on the battlefield it looked daft. But I'd have happily had a few of this revision, no question!

[@lpenn]

that skull tank thing smashed the original out the park

[@g-monk2775]

Keep supporting this game, we need this. Maybe one new gamer would start playing and that makes you a success. Thank you

[@AchanCham_]

Your 3d sculpting is incredible! Awesome job and amazing video.

[@admiraltee]

The biggest thumbs up. This brings back happy memories of an 18yr old!

[@demon1103]

Glad to have found this video as I'm planning to do Iron Warriors for the HH Epic that's going to be coming out soon (god help me) and seeing this helps figure out a few things for them.

[@NeonFlaming0]

Yes, glad to see another one! Thank you!

[@bestratchetandclank]

This video introduced me to epic and now I’m convinced to look into the game more

[@CyberSammael]

Its a really solid system, and more stable now its 'unsupported' officially. Get involved, play some games, feed back to the community.

[@paulleach3612]

Played a whole heap of Epic in the '90s as a teenager. Probably only Necromunda and 40k 2nd Ed got more table time.

[@PoddyK83]

I think I have to print some Iron Warriors as my 4th Epic army now.

[@QuinchGaming]

I still have my original Epic Space Marine (Crimson Fists, 1st Edition on Square bases) chapter and OMG you did such a good job on that sculpt for the Doom Crawler! I think one of the factors I liked about Epic was that it IS easier to paint the models because you don't have to be "that" detailed. As a teenager this was a huge thing as you could buy, paint & play so much faster. MORE EPIC NEEDED!!

[@2dola]

I'm gobsmacked! I'd love to see him scaled up to 40k size, awesome work on the sculpt man.

[@DarrenMalin]

I have played normal 40k rules but using epic figs and using mm instead of inchs , makes for some huge games , great fun :)

[@guleri]

So cool to see how you model your very own model from a picture and then update it to make it your very own. Sort of make me want to get some epic models, but I know I won't be able to do them justice when it comes to painting so I think I'll stick to the regular size figures. But still cool to see you work with them :-)

[@yesman350]

You need to make a “forgeworld” variant to this beautiful tank

[@joseluisnd75]

Your self designed tank looks really cool. In fact, it was a time (once upon a time) when Games Workshop presented an extra separata (Ordo Malleus Dixit) with White Dwarf with rules for you to design your own vehicles and pley them. I still got it. The time of the legendary deo stick gravitatory tank by Jervis Johnsson...

[@juanjoseramirezlarana1517]

hell yeah! this is it! you nailed it. Please do more like this

[@AvoidTheCadaver]

I'd actually been poking about for epic models for the last few days considering getting back into it. The doom laster remake nailed it. I now want to see a retooled Lord of Battle.

[@wilky1189]

The Khorne treads on the big tank is a really really cool touch.

[@CursedMonkeyArt]

I love all your videos. I respect the skill required to work in a medium that is so small, yet detail oriented.

[@shadowlicked]

awesome video. the modeling was great and interesting to watch, and the stuff on this channel keeps getting better. it's cool to see you guys take a neglected corner of tabletop gaming and breathe some life into it.

[@yourgoodliness]

I really can't wait to paint up my own doomblaster! Thank you for sharing that cool design.

[@Haunting_Hyena]

That final picture with the whole army makes me feel the need to make a display case shelf battle with them

[@williamfalck4882]

Agree with the rest of the comments on the Doomcrawler. Amazing work and true to the original and amazing concept and model from way back in the day. Well done with the entire army!

[@TabletopTime]

Thanks it makes me just want to make more!

[@elsimian3483]

I played original Space Marine and Adeptus Titanicus back in the day; recently I played an epic game using One Page Rules with some minor mods and that was rather good fun

[@rexkramer9540]

We have a very healthy Epic gaming group in the Northeast U.S. - The best game GW ever made! Also a big fan of their other mostly long dead "Specialist Games". Thanks for the Epic love!!

[@DeadlyAssets]

Epic was the only mainstream Games Workshop game I played, I never played 40K or Warhammer, most of my friends did but Epic caught my imagination unlike the other Games Workshop stuff, I did play a bit of Space Hulk, hence my love for Dark Angels (my Epic Space marine army) other than Dark Angels I fielded Eldar, I did get a few more armies Chaos, Dorfs & Imperial Guard to name a few of my larger forces, unfortunately, me moving house and drastically downsizing my stuff at the time of the move has resulted in the total destination of all my epic forces. 😞 However after watching your first video it re-sparked my love for Epic, so I scraped a few quid together and bid on ebay, some winning & lots losing until I had a small haphazard force of Eldar (I stripped the paying quickly on the metal minis with acetone, also removed and dissolves superglue) to paint, I'm painting them in my old colours, base white with flames of dark blue licking at there legs & the lower areas of the vehicles. The Eldar "Soul Fire" Craftworld. I suppose after finishing the Eldar I will have to maybe print myself a Dark Angel Army to Fight/Join them on the field 🙂

[@TheFifthHorseman_]

I was involved in developing army lists for that for a bit. Made a bunch of printable unit proxy counter designs (paper printable, this was the early 00s after all)

[@eagle3906]

This is soooo excellent! The sculpting is amazing

[@Matt-tb5un]

In a perfect world Epic would be GW's flagship game and everyone could enjoy massive EPIC battles that are a much much better reflection of the setting than the "battles" in 40k. I absolutely LOVE the models you created. They would have blown people away back in the day!! Keep at it!!

[@WarpstormChronicles]

I just finished my first batch of 6mm scale 40k, but I've been using OPR when using them.

[@Valfodur]

Love the doom crawler!!!! Incredible! My 15 year old self is loving this. I’ll have to dig all my epic armies out.

[@daringdarius5686]

Me looking at it the 3D Model: "Oh wow, that looks significantly better, still not something I would buy or anything but, decent" Me looking at it primed and with nuln oil in your hands: "AYO WHAT!?! THAT LOOKS GOOD, I WOULD BUY THAT!"

[@EmptyDivergence]

Really really enjoying the Warhammer Epic videos with Dave

[@TabletopTime]

Thanks I've loved making them

[@russellrains8422]

Well deserved like and sub here. I've seen a couple of your videos and really like your content. Your passion for 40k and Epic are evident and I love the redesign of your army and Doomcrawler.

[@scourge4198]

That crawler is glorious dude! makes me wish for a 40k scale one! awesome work!

[@Gothead420]

What an awesome, creative work you done! That really shows how this technology can be used to literally make our hobby dreams come true! 🤓

[@TabletopTime]

Truely wouldn't have dreamed of it, it's amazing

[@crispycritter9163]

Your sculpt is Very Cool !

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Doomcrawler fits SO well! Love it's sillyness but still managing to be somewhat threatening.

[@skazkatzroy3444]

Weapons the fire blood and skulls are one of the reasons I'm into warhammer.

[@Tclans]

This is so cool.. more Epic please!

[@sychan168]

That Iron Warriors DoomCrawler is SOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOLLLL!!!!

[@Jezza_One]

I still have hundreds or maybe even thousands of armaggedon miniatures. A full salamanders chapter and loads of other marine troops. I have even played the latest horus heresy rules using epic miniatures.

[@XtremeRacingNetwork]

THIS IS SO AWESOME! The little kid in me is happy to see something new for Epic! Its been so long so long Keep up the great work my friend!

[@lordofuzkulak8308]

Nice work. One suggestion I’d make is on the Defiler, on the banded part on the inside of the claws, instead of having all the bands be gold/brass you should’ve alternated between that colour and a dark silver/grey so it looks like hazard striping. 😉 Another suggestion I’d make is maybe dry brush the ends of the mortar barrels on the super heavy to show they see heavy use.

[@sultekmavernon4808]

That doom crawler came out awesome Dave, you are part of the Legend right now!

[@cjanquart]

Khorne symbol for the tank treads are awesome (also helluva workshop!)

[@Hukahey]

The coolest thing I have seen you do I love it. 👏🏻

[@jasonbrecht8572]

As an Epic player from yore, I approve! The Doomblaster was/is formidable yet that particular deamon engine model was underwhelming. Well done on the re-imagining. Up-sizing was a good idea. Making the dgn free for those who've printers is also a good idea. Alas, I've no printer, so none for me. Tho my congratulations to thee.

[@tikihana4254]

Love it All!! Especially the doom crawler!!!!

[@searle_harbour]

they are really under represented in epic, i know this because if you google iron warriors 6mm stuff my stuff comes up lol and that was from a long time ago :D
