Epic Diversions

My Decemd-uary painting challenge (inspired by Azazel) has not progressed past my last post, but it has at least helped me to get back into painting mode. With all the fun I’ve had with my Memoir 40k project, I decided to add a few troops from my Epic bits box. I picked up a single

Battle over the Malcador river

Following on from my last post, here is a quick update on my memoir 40k narrative campaign.
