Thanks Dom, good ideas with the pen. I like your tutorials because they hit the spot between getting drawn into uber detail and getting the figures to the table in a timely and comfortable way as it is very easy with Epic to get entangled with the excellent detail that is present and then things then just take too long to paint. I think I would be tempted to add a touch of medium to the Nuln Oil wash to weaken it a tad. I was at a show yesterday and Warlord Games were there and they said they were pleased with the amount of interest being shown in the Punic series, which is good as it can only mean that there will be more Epic in whatever period they choose to support.
Very Awesome! and I sympathize with the basing. I have been doing 6mm sci-fi fellows, and painting the actual minis takes about 2 minutes, basing takes a while longer. of course I am painting over the basing earth texture, so I guess I am just a glutton for punishment. Cheers!
I like that trick you did with the pen around the rim of the shields. I'll have to keep that in mind when I graduate from Pike and Shotte to Hail Caesar
I was quite proud of myself with that one tbh, I might have to do it moreoften! I've used it to highlight white belts on some 28mm figures too and that can work
The unit came together nicely. I might try out that Citadel Guilliman's Flesh paint, sounds like it could be a big time saver for the 28mm Gauls I'm looking to paint.
When basing epics i've found that I can stick both ranks in, then get a brush with pva on and brush between the ranks being quite care free. Then I just sprinkle my home made sand/fine flock mix in between and I'm done. Worth a shot to see if that helps you. I do use Vallejo basing for 28mm figs which is easy enough anyway.
@@BootsontheTable no seriously it’s hard to see what colour is use and effect. Maybe if camera is hold above the miniatures and with proper lighting but like this it’s no good and there is no need for sarcasm

yes i should weaken it but i dont think about it in time usually! I agree everything i've heard suggests epic has been good so hopefully more to come

thanks - yes in many ways nice basing improves the figure so its worth the pain

Great stuff. Looking good. Great idea with the shield designs!
Glad you like them!

definitely it is, works very nicely in my opinion
These look great Dom, very effective.
Glad you think so!

yes i have done the same with my Pike & Shotte minis, but I wanted to use the basing stuff for these
Most excellent painting Dom, and really enjoyed the history
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work; I like how a few extra details on the front rank like shield designs go a long way to completing the unit
I agree!
Great video - ordered a set of those Posca pens in prep for my own Hannibal journey.
hope it helped
"shake vigorously and work the tip" weird hearing that in the background...
lol
I want to get a set of epic battles. torn between napoleonic, Pike and Shotte, and Punic wars.

They look excellent great tutorial
Thanks so much 😊
Hello, nice tuto. It's 15mm scale ?
Thanks. Warlords ‘epic’ scale is more like true 15mm so smaller than the 15mm today
@@BootsontheTable ok thanks :)
Video is to dark can’t see anything
@DamianC-n9b open your eyes mate. It helps
