"Epic soldiers' paraphernalia" Topic

Snow day here in Derbyshire, and I am trying not to spend mountains of cash on the internet.

Having seen some beautifully painted Epic P&S figures where the detail has been misinterpreted, here's a bonus post explaining what all the dangly bits are (for those of you new to the period). Hope it helps

I very useful guide regardless of figures being used.

Very interesting. Thank you for that.

Yes, I was surprised at the generally correct detail provided.
I'd expected much simpler figures.

I think I know what my dangly bits are for!

Thank you, very informative!

Glad to hear that it was useful.

They do have a good amount of detail on the figures, nice and crisp sculpting. And more importantly that detail translate nicely in to finished figures. I can see why the whole Epic concept is popular. Of course I can also see why Epic doesn't appeal to many. After having painted a few of the strips I now see massive spaces between my regular based 15mm figures.

My whole reason for this blog entry was seeing some images of the strips painted for Wargames Illustrated. If I am painting up a new range of figures and I am not sure what a piece of equipment is I reach for Google – how have others painted it? As much as I enjoy painting I must confess that I am glad when I finish – to find out that I have to go back and correct mistakes is very annoying (I've had to do this a few times, having taken my inspiration from what I thought were reliable sources). I would just like to try and save others from falling into that trap, particularly if they are new to a period and don't have a knowledge base to question such things.

Very informative, good work.

Great stuff thanks mate . Ill be referring to this before I start painting the first batch

Now do other periods
