ancient god Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Good luck mate! That's an aweful lot of models to paint. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222355-biggest-army-speed-paint-project-ever/#findComment-2657979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazer Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You can do it so long as you don't get bogged down in the details. Get basic colors going on all of them, then work your way back through to do more details as time allows. Unless of course you are wanting to win Best Painted or something similar.

Minsc Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It should be doable. I painted ~6000 points worth of Alaitoc Eldar in less than 2 weeks, so you should manage if you just put some sweat, blood and tears* into it. (Sweat from the hard work of having a steady hand when painting, blood from the frustration you get when you've painted for 8 hours straight and realize that you've painted the entire days work wrong and hence stab yourself in the foot, and tears or happiness when you're finally done.) Anyway, GL with the project mate. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222355-biggest-army-speed-paint-project-ever/#findComment-2658045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBMAKENZIE Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I built & painted a 2K ork army and won best painted in the tournament a three day span. (Built them when I got them thurs. Painted on Fri. Played on Sat.) So I think its definitely possible but then marines are a touch more complicated to paint then a bunch of Kanz.

Squad done and all the parts lined up for the HG and DC. I have started base coating the RAS and have a few of one of the squads painted up. The vindicator is all red and is now being detailed. I'll get some pics up tomorrow for you guys to see.

Knights_Omega Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for the support. Highborn Mergula- Yes those are free hand, thanks captain maleck - Here is what I used- Basecoat of shining gold over skull white spray, followed by a wash of brown ink, then touch up with shining gold highlight up through burnished gold and then mithril silver. I then went back and darkened the stark lines with a scorched brown/ chaos black mix. Hope this helps.

Tabgoi Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Huh, those new vindicators are interesting. I am not sure if I like them more of less then the old models. Granted with the old ones, if the gun does not kill what you need it too, the model can be used in place of a half brick to knock them out so you can remove the models anyways. Edit: Forgot to add, great paint job man. Doublely impressive given how quickly you are doing it.

Whitefireinferno Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Your stuff is coming along VERY well a difficult challenge set for yourself. One question though did you set this as your LPC?

Knights_Omega Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 It may sound dumb, but I'm not sure what an LPC is. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222355-biggest-army-speed-paint-project-ever/#findComment-2663164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights_Omega Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Got it.

grazer Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 LPC = Librarium Painting Challenge It's a board-wide "competition" in which members of each subforum (ie Blood Angels, Dark Angels, etc) vow to paint X number of models before a given date, in this case 31 March, and the board with the most completions win bragging rights. Work in Progress and completed pics must be posted to the boards in order to count.
