Well, I finally finished my first unit of EpicA minis. It's a Tactical Detachment with a Dreadnought, and two stands of characters (that were painted first as test minis because they're extra stands I have).

They're going to be part of the mixed-legion force I am building. The next Tactical Detachment will be painted as Death Guard, so same white armor but with green shoulders and gold trim, and black weapons. I'll add in some Devastators, also in Luna Wolves and Death Guard, and I'll paint the Assault Detachment and Bike Detachment as World Eaters. Land Speeders, not sure yet. Predators, not sure yet. Terminators will probably be Luna Wolves.







All I did to paint them was a white spray primer, a wash of black ink, painted black trim on shoulder pads and knees, red panel on weapons, silver on magazines and gun barrels, and red as an accent on sergeants and characters. Super simple paint scheme, painted the whole detachment in one evening, and based them using Vallejo Dark Earth in an evening, painted the bases and varnished them the next morning.

very effective, that;s worked really well. when you say black ink, what product specifically?

thanks, I was pretty happy with how the scheme came out. The white with black trim looks sharp, and the red makes all the weapons pop. Happy with the contrast with the dirt bases.

I'm using Reaper Paints. The white is just Krylon White Primer for plastic, the black ink is Reaper Black Ink, the red, green, and blue are also Reaper. The gold and silver are cheap acrylic paints from Michaels. The black trim is also the same cheap acrylics.

New Death Guard formation. Devastators with Rhinos, a Command squad, and the first of 4 Predators.

White basecoat, brown ink wash, black ink wash in places, green shoulders and trims. Red accents. Black weapons.

Hi!

Very cool!

Very nice. Thanks for the description of your technique - it is giving super-effective results here. Makes painting white a whole lot less daunting.
