That's some great painting.
I'm really into basic blocks of colour lately and bypassing the inks and highlights. I find it's working well for my 15mm Romans as they are so small it would be a waste to put loads of layers of paint on. As long as they can be recognised from far away it's all good.
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

What game are the 15mm Romans for?

Right. Main colors blocked out, time to get to work highlighting the blue.

Stormsword near the base to remind folks how doggone big the thing is. Seriously, I don't know if it'll fit in any of the containers I cart Eldar around in.

Looking at my Stormswords, that sucker must be 3 feet tall.

the shoulders are very big...

As for the how to transport the epic version I think you will just need to give it its own little home... a plastic or wood box that is custom built should do the trick..

re: transport. if i can carry around a 40k scale titan, then you can cope with an epic version. Make a wee box for it, use a soldering iron (or a hot wire cutter, if youre feeling fancy) and cut styrofoam to fit it, pad interior of styrofoam with blistapack foam, and robert's yer muvver's bruvver :)

ps - Warlock titans. Ah, 40k needs some o those. A psychic, undead, multi-storey elf robot. How much killiness would ensue from that i wonder...
current (2019) hobby interests
eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...
