If the carthaginians actually used all that purple, they’d go bankrupt!

[@MiniatureRealms]

😂

[@PMMagro]

You should show the pauper Romansand any potential ally who has themost cash at hand! Was not priple bained by teh phoenicians in particular anyway (the "trademark" commodity of Carthege's mother city Tyre)?

[@rp-h-e9779]

If you aint sold on Punic Wars already… you are now !

[@MiniatureRealms]

😊

[@jasonbagley6948]

Sold

[@MartinHoey]

This could well be on my birthday present suggestion list....

[@MiniatureRealms]

Would make a handsome gift for sure

[@BigWoody87]

Wish I could recommend a good TV show to get you really into the Punic Wars but I don't think there's a good one there - you might be stuck reading Livy! Still, beautiful elephants, both the sculpts which I agree really are flagship sculpts for this release, and the paintjob, really nice and colourful, very glad you didn't go modern drab interpretation of the past (not that I was worried)!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you mate 😊

[@nathanhillier-daines7566]

These Elephants look fantastic! I found the cavalry in EBP wasn't as much fun to paint compared to the line infantry, but these models look like a really interesting and fun model to have a crack at!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Oh yes, for ‘pure fun value’ I think these have been my favourite so far from all the ranges.

[@Kitsune_.-]

Thanks for the tutorial I have 28mm elephants I’ll be painting later this year

[@MiniatureRealms]

I’d probably approach much of a 28mm one and the same way.

[@robertsmith8520]

Great work. Interesting agin with the purpke shading. Do you ever go in for transfers at this scale?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. Yes I’d definitely use transfers, and I think some might be provided (not sure 🤔), but I’m just using what Warlord sent for these videos as it stands.

[@henrysekurski3597]

Great Job Stu! What colors did you use for the basket and covering of the other elephant?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you Henry 🙂. The colours are all mentioned and shown in the tutorial, I’m not near my desk to check exact names right now.

[@Svengar]

Lovely little miniature that you have done justice to. Looks like it would be very fun to play in this scale…certainly should be a bit faster to paint them up albeit you need to have a steadier hand perhaps to get all the little details

[@MiniatureRealms]

Definitely faster than a 28mm Elephant for sure, and you can leave a lot of details off really.

[@twoaf3261]

I love it, great work on the paint job. I can't wait to try it on mine when the game is released :)

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂

[@tumbleweed1970able]

brilliant what is the triad of paints used for the red

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. It was Two Thin Coats - Beserker Red/Sanguine Scarlet/Demon Red.

[@chrisshockey8883]

I find that painting epic scale models requires adding some flow improver to the paint, especially the greys

[@MiniatureRealms]

I don’t tend to use it often but I know many that do.

[@chrisshockey8883]

​@@MiniatureRealms​@MiniatureRealms The first stand of Epic ACW turned out really dark with contrast. I ended up putting 15 drops of flow improver in the pot. Water seemed to cause the paint to flake when it dried for some reason. Speed Paint and Xpress Color I used 3:1 paint to flow improver and they worked great! I just bought the Hannibal set, so your tutorial was just what I needed!

[@WelshIron]

Great work, they came out really well.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂

[@paulparker5456]

Fantastic work Stuart😊

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you Paul 🙂

[@calvanoni5443]

What scale are these?

[@MiniatureRealms]

They’re officially Warlord’s ‘Epic Scale’, but essentially true scale 15mm.

[@iwanhughes2965]

Yay! I've been looking forward to this one. It's your fault that I'm eagerly awaiting 3,000 warriors and 8 elephants!!😅

[@MiniatureRealms]

😅😂 Sorry

[@kevinlenaghan6691]

Fantastic. I have some metal 15mm elephants by xyston waiting for this tutorial. Can’t wait for Hannibal to arrive!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, hope your own elephant painting goes well.

[@lynnostler639]

I find that I’ve grown to love your posts! I like your style. I’ve started with the Pike and Shotte you did and I’ll keep watching. Thank you for your work. It is out standing!!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say. 😊

[@Mr._A685]

Awesome job! Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial, your set up is perfect, well lit and clean. Cheers!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you very much 🙂

[@stephenritchie9581]

Brilliant as always Stu. Can’t wait to get mine and this is inspiring on how to paint them best. Look forward to many more and been waiting years for this range to come out in this scale. Well done mate 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
