The Horus Heresy Supplement produced by the people over at epicAU.com details army lists for the Legion Astartes, alongside lists for Imperial Militia, Adeptus Mechanicus and of course, Titan Legions for use with the NetEpic Armageddon rules set. Special rules for each of the twenty space marine legions are outlined allowing players to build a force themed to a specific legion, and a system of allies allows the mixing of different army lists.
I have put together an initial 2000 points of Iron Warriors. Using a mix of third party and first party miniatures it is possible to put together an adequate looking force without too much effort. I have used miniatures from Games Workshop's 1989 6mm 'Space Marine' range (which are older than I am) alongside newer sculpts from Vanguard miniature's Defeat in Detail range that adequately resemble units specific to the 30K period that were never produced officially.

My opponent to be is currently in the process of assembling a rival 2000 point loyalist army. Once he's ready I will be sure to present a battle report here on the blog covering one of our initial games.
We will of course need some appropriate 6mm scale terrain, something that I am looking forward to researching and assembling. Varied terrain will really help to push the spectacle of the scale, and luckily due to its small scale shouldn't hurt the bank too much.
Looking forward to expanding the list to 3000 points, I am almost certainly adding a Reaver Titan alongside a couple more infantry units. Titans are the showpieces of Epic, the opportunity to duel these vast war machines is too good to miss.
I shall leave you with a gallery of some individual units and their sources.
