My standard approach has been blu-tack to hold things together while I choose parts and work out a pose, but when it comes time to fit the arms and weapon, even the smallest amount of blu-tack is thick enough to make the weapon angle a little bit off.<br /><br />With the older Chaos Space Marines I'm assembling right now (using models from an abandoned CSM army project and Dark Vengeance bits to make 40k equivalents of Betrayal at Calth I can keep in the box for board game nights), it's not too bad- the first couple were awkward, but I figure I can carefully hold the right arm in place while I'm gluing the bolter down. But it's driving me crazy on a heavy bolter Devastator Marine, especially with the interconnected ammo feed. How would you guys approach a more complicated infantry-scale model like this that practically requires sub-assembly, given the massive, body-obscuring weapon and the need to glue together the backpack, weapon arm and left arm perfectly?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194711605811325421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-31626878926404000892016-04-27T10:51:34.841+01:002016-04-27T10:51:34.841+01:00Rofl.

Of course I can!
Word Beaerer...Thanks Primoris :)<br /><br />Of course I can!<br /><br />Word Beaerers Witchred:<br />- Black Primer<br />- Leadbelcher, using my Airbrush<br />- Ironbreaker, using my Airbrush, zenithal<br />- Runefang Steel, using my Airbrush, zenithal<br /><br />After that, the whole red parts get a layer of thinned down Carroburg Crimson. Pannel lines get painted with thinned down Nuln Oil.<br /><br />Edge highlightes of runefang steel.<br /><br />Next are 1-2 layers of thinned down Blood for the Bloodgod - sounds crazy, but it has the perfect tone imo. Just be carefull that its even. <br /><br />Where it needs I do some more edge highlights with runefang steel now.<br /><br />Now weathering, I use FW powders for the legs (dark earth, medium earth, light earth).<br /><br />Last but not least I finish them with a coat of Purity Seal, that changes the colours and tones down the gloss, also fix's the weathering powders in place.<br /><br />My black is Vallejo Black with zenithal highlights of Tamiya German Grey.<br /><br />Hope that helps :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648711304654519597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-27858263241254815142016-04-26T20:20:20.267+01:002016-04-26T20:20:20.267+01:00Thanks =)

And you are totally right ...Hehe thanks Colonel :)<br /><br />And you are totally right - assembling before painting helps if you want to play with your models before painting. That's why I would paint "first" armies for a game as fast and easy as possible. Even stuff like transfers or weathering can be done later, if your aim is to play as fast as possible.<br /><br />Need to admit i can't play with unpainted stuff, only for pre-sale game testing (i truly should hit out more reviews of the games themselves/how they played for me!) and even then it doesn't feels "right" for me.<br /><br />And no, but the other Bunnies are going :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648711304654519597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-85875493917669571952016-04-26T20:08:16.604+01:002016-04-26T20:08:16.604+01:00That dreadnought is a work of art!

When...That dreadnought is a work of art! Well done!<br />When it comes to painting models post or prior to assembly, for me it often comes down to whether the model will have some inaccessible or hard-to-reach areas if I assemble it first. I believe that the times i have painted prior to assembly outnumbers the post-assembly-painted, however it does differ. I paint exclusively with brush (for multiple reasons), so I might change my mind about this if I ever start using an airbrush.Zyntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601601890331082092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-41075171282605804172016-04-26T20:07:16.151+01:002016-04-26T20:07:16.151+01:00Great post Atia, looks like your dread is pretty p...Great post Atia, looks like your dread is pretty purrrr fect.<br /><br />With regards paint models, you missed the I'm gonna game with the models before painting, so then need to be WYSIWYG group of people.<br /><br />I personally like to paint models assembled.
