Well the project is still here, I need to finish some infantry for the cadians and other bits and bobs.

But!

Even though it started before Legion imperialis, it kinda falls in the same way. so here are my first 3 Legion Imperialis tanks!

Here is a whole platoon I finished yesterday, also a good opportunity to try my new permanent photo booth

Also… here is a few shots from the photo booth. yes it’s made from a Kallax

So I did a quick try out on 2 bases of Cadian Infantry for Epic. Here they are.

Undercoat white

nuln oil preshade

Zandri Dust for Fatigues

Castellan Green for armor

Chaos Black for leather

Cadian Fleshtone for skin (will have to check, might have been Kislev flesh)

overall agrax shade wash

Zandri Dust for Fatigues

Castellan Green for armor

Cadian Fleshtone for skin (will have to check, might have been Kislev flesh)

Leadblecher  for metal.

Steel Ledion Drab for bases of the minis.

Done!

Glue the minis on the MDF bases with PVA glue

bases:

Mig Dark mud ground MIG-2104

Add some rocks while still wet if you want.

Steel Ledion Drab drybrush

PVA the static grass, add some bushes if you want feel like it (those were clipped from Army Painted Battlefields Summer Undergrowth)

Been painting those lately and finished them today with the pigments and matt varnish. But without any more due…. here is a Company of Leman Russ. what’s not to like

See you next time for maybe some WIP on the Infantry or the first finished pieces.

Here are the first finished models for my Cadian Army.

Admitedly what really appeal to me in Epic is the ability to control Companies and then know you control roughtly a battalion sized Army.

And here is the painting guide.

I might do a step by step with photos later if you are interested:
