Grizzly_bear Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yo guys, right basicly i just want everyone insight on my little dilema, as most of you know, i'm having a lil project of building up my IF 4th company.... BUT (always a but) i keep always looking back at the sallies and looking hard into their fluff and thinking of how i would paint them etc. what im asking is do any of you SM or other races of the 40K universe have these little dilemas? very annoying isnt it?

Brother Valerius Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah. You have no idea how tempted I am to stop working on my current army (which is only half painted as it is), and start painting some Imperial Fists. Or Grey Knights. Or Orks. Or Guard. I just restrain myself because if I do that, my Ultras will never get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I.m the same with my IF's i feel like taking a break and painting a squad of sallies up so annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 What i do is take breaks from painting my chapter to do little bits and bobs of others. If you want to do Sallies, do them, but do them one or two at a time between squads of fists. Gives you a break from painting the same scheme, and the artistic inspiration doesn't dry up quite so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Definitely. I find it a must. Once you've cranked out 7 identically painted marines the last 3 seem like such a chore, so painting something different is suddenly fun again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puck Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 One thing I've seen people do with DA is paint up a vet squad with each modal being from a different successor chapter. Its justifiably fluffy (at least for the DA) such that you don't end up with models that you can't play with your current force while achieving the goal of breaking up your painting routine.
