Wilholic Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Greetings. I'm from Finland, 27 years old and has been playing Warhammer since i was 12 years old. When i turned about 17-18 i got into fantasy, and has been playing that ever since, but now about a month ago i took my 40k stuff out of the dusty packages where they have been over the years. got a bit shocked how awful my painting skills were back then, painted them Black Templars. the black undercoat waaay to thick. was thinking of re-painting them to Imperial fists. But yeah a littlebit about myself, occupation: Electrician Army sniper reservist, hoping NOT to have to go to war. lets hope russia don't start ww3.. painting skills. medicore. gaming skills. fantasy good. 40k don't know yet :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288155-oldschooler-trying-to-get-back-into-40k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Welcome back to 40k! Let's hope your wars stay in the realm of science fantasy, shall we? I think you should break out some paint stripper and go get some yellow paint. Make it happen!

whiteraven17708 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I would recommend stripping them for quality but i have had good luck covering black with the yellow foundation paint from gw Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288155-oldschooler-trying-to-get-back-into-40k/#findComment-3623343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimsonkilla Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i have bought a bunch of over primed and poorly painted miniatures (good deals) and I have been using a simple all purposegleaner to strip the pain. with a toothbrush, toothpick and some gloves and a few hours of soaking(maybe a few baths) they come out fairly clean and ready for a new prime coat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288155-oldschooler-trying-to-get-back-into-40k/#findComment-3623353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
