Picked up some epic on a whim, where can I learn more?

Hi everyone, went into my FLGS to pick up some 40K stuff and found some epic they had second hand. I collect Orks as my main army and love collecting anything warhammer greenskin so I picked the sprue and bases it came with up and im excited to paint them up.

Thing is I actually know nothing about epic 40k. I dabbled a bit in Legions Imperialis but didnt care for it that much cause I dont really care for horus heresy. Is there somewhere I can actually information on how many to base, what each model is for sure is, and any rules for them?

I can confidently say I can identify some bosses w/ background banners, a banner Bearer, a shokk attack mek, a painboy, a mek, a runtheard, a weirdboy, boyz, grots, and bikes. I just have 0 idea how these are supposed to be properly based. Thanks for any and all help! Even if I dont end up playing I'm excited to base and paint them up!

Looking to help my friend start Warhammer the Old World with Bretonnia, how can i help them the best?

Hey everyone, recently got a good friend of mine a copy of the Bretonnia box from the launch of the Old World and some supplies to build the box. I don't know how often they will get to play, but they have wanted to collect warhammer fantasy for a long time and have never been able too. I'm not expecting them to be ready to play with it anytime soon, but I wanted to get them the box so they finally could start living that warhammer dream.

You see though here's where my problem starts, While I collect Orcs and Empire for Old World, I have yet to paint my empire models (or human skin in general) nor do I know anything about what hobbying for bretonnia looks like. I know that some of their options like a Maiden on pegasus is just not a kit that is sold, or questing knights officially are metal models. I assume the community kitbashes the hell out of these options because they either don't exist or are probably expensive.

So my question boils down to looking for everything else I can get for them or point them in the direction of beyond the basic tools and paints. What are the most helpful painting guides I can point them in the direction of? (for a new painter and hobbyist) What kits have the ebst bits for grail/questing knights? What do y'all do for your maidens given it seems my only options for those are resin? Any and all help regarding these questions or anything similar would be greatly appreciated. I'm used to helping 40K or AoS people get into the hobby where the entry floor is much lower (painting marines or playing spearhead for example) so with an army with such a smalll range I'm genuinely just stumped on where to point them first. Thank y'all again for your attention reading this, and I hope y'all have a great day/night!
