So an e-mail about the league voting brought me back here. I'm a big fan of all the great painting that's going on here, and I wanted to post some pics of what I've been working on (and off) for the past year: Epic Knights (Epic, as in Space Marine Epic, ie 6mm, circa early 1990s). Rather than re-post all my old blog entries though, I figured I'd dump just the pictures. I almost have the Knights done for a 3k army, I just need to finish the metal and basing on 8 of them (hopefully by the end of the month). After that, I want to do the aircraft.

Great painting on such small minis especially the small chequered areas - you must have a fine pair of eyes

Epic scale for large battles in WH40K type scenarios really does make a lot of sense and I would love to see some pics of these guys on a scenic battlefield sometime.

was this painted directly on bare metal or did you prime them in any way? in any case they are gorgeous!

Thanks guys.

They were primed grey and sprayed silver, harley.

Nice.

Always good to seem some well painted Epic.

Lovely stuff! I really likes those metal Paladins, and regret not getting some myself at the time.

Awesome. I had a bunch of knights, never even played epic. They were used as random stand-in figures for 40K. I like the Errants (guys with power gloves/flamers?). The Castellans are still funny looking.

That's a ton of old metal there - lots of firepower.

Thanks guys. I finished painting and flocking the last of the Knights over the past couple of weeks. I still might head back and put some Woodland Scenics course flock on the bases for bushes. Everytime I use that stuff though I'm never impressed with the results though. Anyway, here's all my Knights for a 3k game. I gotta get to my aircraft at somepoint, and head back and finish up another dozen knights at some point too.

The first time I used the old Citadel modeling flock it bled on me when I put my usual thin layer of watered down glue over it. Thankfully the models had already been sealed so I just soaked their bases in warm water until it came loose and I could brush it off. This second time I used thicker glue and didn't bother with the second watered down layer over it.

Really impressive collection, excellent yellows, and great heraldry.
