Back to Epic for me
« on: 30 July 2023, 04:04:10 AM »
I'm getting back into painting some Epic miniatures, although I'll probably use the Xenos Rampant rules.

Nice work. Will be interested to hear how this works with XR - more from the use of vehicle based units, than the use of small scale figures.

For the infantry - don’t try to paint all the detail! Use a wash or contrast paint to pick out the sculpted detail, then paint only the key bits eg weapons and faces. Remember you are painting them as gaming pieces rather than for close inspection.

Sounds like a great project. It'll be interesting to see how the Xenos Rampant rules work with 6mm models.

Looking good, right enough!
Though, on the latter point, my 6mm Imperial Fist marines have chapter and tac markings on their shoulder pads .... amidoingitwrong?  :)

Yes, all the vehicles are from Trolls Under the Bridge.
