[@markrl9963]

I love these tiny tanks so much! Thanks for piquing my interest in Epic 40k.

[@BUNKER6]

You are SO welcome. Just please avoid Greyskull thanks ;)

[@JEGranberg]

Best Epic Scale content on KZbin.

[@BUNKER6]

Thank you Granberg. Really kind.

[@rat-matt-miniatures8705]

Loved it, having a hard time at the mo so when I get home, my epic is going to be on the paint table.

[@BUNKER6]

Sorry to hear you’re having a tough time! Discord is always open if you need a little escape. Got a good crowd over there! Update us maybe on your paint progress too!! Thanks!

[@DrakesHobbiesAndGames]

Hope things pick up for you Matthew.

You should have at least 100k subscribers! You make amazing videos with amazing quality. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for your hard work 😃

[@BUNKER6]

Thank you so much for such a nice comment. Epic is quite obscure but it’s a niche that doesn’t have too much love. I intend on proving myself in this small niche first and showing subscribers I’m worth subscribing to and later I will expand into larger topics once I have established myself in the Epic and speciality field. I’m sure the subscribers will come when I move into broader appeal avenues. But for now I’ll stick with all the Epic stuff that I have to paint. Thank YOU for joining me on this journey.

[@3dprintingsmith380]

Sounds like a plan! Looking forward to seeing it all. And again you have top quality production, it’s such a pleasure to watch.

[@BUNKER6]

Really appreciated. Thanks for the motivation!

[@stevieandrew9008]

Is there anything you cannot do? 😮 fantastic tutorial & great touch with the voiceover & background music 🎵

[@bennettcrouthamel9794]

love these videos man, they cheer up my day

[@BUNKER6]

That’s the best thing to read. So glad. Thank you for watching Bennett!!

Thank you!!!

Grew a beard in the time this video started and ended 🙌🏼

Had to re-record the intro as I said something wrong ha ha

[@TheSacredheartart]

Great video mate!

[@BUNKER6]

Thank you so much!!!

[@rutgaurxi7314]

Ahhh, Epic. Among one of the best games GW ever made, alongside Mordheim and Necromunda. Nice tutorial. Any chance to see this paint scheme scaled up to 30mm models?

[@BUNKER6]

So glad you’re liking the Epic content! If you send me a model I’ll do a video for it!

[@rutgaurxi7314]

@@BUNKER6 Will try, will try too.

[@BUNKER6]

No problem. I only have my own model which I know how I want to paint and sadly none of them are a full scale leman Russ. But I have painted a leman Russ in this scheme before and it’s all the same as this tutorial.

[@Jezza_One]

I will spray them one colour because its worked for me at 8mm.

[@BUNKER6]

Nice! Good luck with the painting!

[@PLASMAMATE]

Could you recommend the brushes you use to paint Epic 40K figurines ?

[@BUNKER6]

I personally use Davinci brushes Alex

[@TetsugakuSan]

I love your final looks and I love the quality of filming, lighting etc. but… I’m curious why you’d go to so much effort to do the panel lining with acrylic, when you’ve got an airbrush to add a gloss coat, and at that point oils take something like 5-10% of the time acrylics do, and they look better? Regardless, do love the channel, inspiring for my titan bases!

[@BUNKER6]

Thanks! I actually tried the oil technique on one of the tanks and for some reason it did not turn out good. Very disappointed. I have done oil washes in other models and it was great. Not in this case. So I buy the bullet and just chipped away at the long method. I just need more practice I think. Appreciate the feedback though!

[@chaoscarl8414]

Those Forge World tanks really were a work of beauty. Too bad they're rubbish in the game though... 😀

[@BUNKER6]

Totally!

[@SMunozDB7]

We need terrain

[@BUNKER6]

Sure thing! Anything in particular?

[@MrZauberelefant]

@@BUNKER6 it's desert, so we need a sort of north African ww2 style terrain - outcrops, orchards, boxy houses, desert highway/railroad, couple of hills and something very 40k to contrast it and prevent it from looking like flames of war.

[@BUNKER6]

The old ork buildings come to mind. They looked like they belonged in a desert.

[@richardbradley2335]

what make is the tank please ?

[@BUNKER6]

It’s an out of print Forgeworld tank. They stopped making them around 2004. But you can find them on eBay. A set of three are up right now I think.

[@douglasprice4177]

Plenty of 3d printers doing them on etsy too

[@BUNKER6]

Yes of course. Good call!

[@tomburden5935]

Yeah, those bumps on the top are not lights........... they're Chickenpox!

[@BUNKER6]

[@fuzztsimmers3415]
