40K assembly question

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

They look great so far.

So for painting methods, do you do the assembly line style? I'm very prone to going through the tedious process of painting them one color at a time. Note, this is faster, but also mundane when you pick out all of one color on a set of troops and then move onto the next color.

well, yes and no. since I'm using the sons of malice paint scheme I have to start with the white coat of base paint, then set up the black arm, half of the chest, and leg, and then going for the gold trim. but I when it comes to the gold part I'm hardly mechanistic about it. I tend to notice something and try to fix it. maybe I am and maybe I'm not.

I still have 6 unpainted marines, since I'm giving them bolters and a meltagun I'm trying to get the empty arm that holds the gun on their torso first. I hate painting these guys with lots of obstructions in the way (that huge melta gun carried over the chest would be a bitch)

That's why I hate painting marines. They have tone of little details and parts that make it difficult to get to everything else.

I love the tanks though.

I'm already hating the sorcerer of chaos I have. my marines are blank slates compared to him. =/

My latest update. its a big pic, so I suggest copying it to get a good look. the icon of nurgle is my best work so far. changed to the Purge instead of the Sons of Malice cause its easier to paint them

I got into 40K and Fantasy about 10 years ago, but I gave it up because it got too expensive. I'll get back into it if I ever get a decent paying job.

hey thanks man. :3

I would have preferred to use Blazing Orange for a better rust effect but I don't have any. With the costs of models and paints I really can't afford the variation in color I want. really, my local shop wants 45 bucks for a box of 7 plague marines. ><

I feel your pain man!

I built a squad of them last year (along with a winged Nurgle Daemon Prince! :twisted: ). Good looking models, but you need to do some conversions to arm them with anything decent. :BOOM:
