Hey everyone!

I started painting Warhammer mid last year and I while I have dabbled in kitbashing before I this is my first one that uses multiple sets as well as Tamiya putty.

I got some lil fellas off FB Marketplace for really cheap so I wanted to do something interesting with them. This was them before:

I have a few questions, and thought you guys and gals might be able to help.

  1. Any general advice for kitbashing?
  2. How do you strip your old paint? It took multiple washes with simple green and scrubbing, which isn’t what I have heard is the general amount needed.
  3. What chapter do you think would go well with this guy? I wanted to keep some of the yellow and maybe red from the original pieces.

Also, if you want to check out some of my other stuff and give advice for a newcomer to the hobby that would be awesome! https://www.instagram.com/andrewsometimespaints?igsh=cmw4MWFwend2NzBx

    1. Guitar strings or rolling green stuff against a plastic comb are great means to make all those extraneous external wires typical to 40k.

    2. Multple passes with letting it bathe simple green then washing afterward sounds a bit atypical but not unusual. Very often I don’t strip at all and just paint over it.

    3. Dark Angels.

      That first one is such a cool idea! I will have to remember that!

      And I will try to not strip them fully next time, I was just worried it would show up some how.

      Dark Angels are pretty sick, do they have any offshoots that use yellow?
