Yeah I reverted the color scheme. Instead of a Librarian who happens to be in the blood angels company (that's how I see the blue suit with red shoulder pads) I prefered to make him a blood angel who happens to be a Librarian... not very orthodoxical, but I can't make myself care about orthodoxy.

Great work. Where did you get stealers for EPIC?
Forgeworld?

Not really. the minis are quite heavy with a 3mm solid plastic chit as a base, and they're magnetized so they'll adhere to the magnetized tiles; the tiles themselves are linked with strips of steel can (use the cans from your preferred beverage), and are quite heavy for their size too. It's better on a metallic table of course but I don't have one handy.

Tyranid army specs/figs were originally part of an officially released expansion for Epic (I don't recall the name)--a buddy of mine in college used to have a small force of them, and the titan was particularly impressive and disturbing.

EDIT: Now I remember--it was called Hive War.

Thanks, but -of course- I'm not the first. One of my good friends 'j0z3f' was working on his own set, and when I saw it I decided I wanted the same; I ended finishing mine before him, but he got my extra neosium magnets for his stuff. and his idea isn't even his :
http://jeuxblogge.blogspot.com/2009/03/mini-space-hulk-photo...

before that we had :
http://spacehulk.barsoom.cc/mirrors/shc/travelsh.htm

and if you dig a bit more, you'll certainly find super cool mini Genestealers in the Space Hulk gallery :


and badass mini 2nd ed sets :


spread the thumbs there too, and if you made your own set show it!

I want to make a magnetized travel-sized version myself, but I have a question about the magnets. I'm afraid I'm forgetting something about how polarities work.

Can you use magnet-based models on magnetic tiles, or would the magnets cancel each other out? Ideally I'd like to have a game I could play on the side of a filing cabinet or refrigerator (there's an image of someone doing just that somewhere here, but I can't find it now).

Nice to see someone actually make my idea from the old days of 1st ed. Though I couldn't get any Epic-stealers for the life of me...

BTW, no barrel holes? -2 thumbs each (don't mind me, I painted striped bolters on my Epic Spice Wolves just to spite my friend )
