Devastator Squad Renovated

Recommended Posts

   I've been renovating my whole army for some time now, and I am almost finished. I've been collecting and playing since I was 15 but my painting was abysmal at first. It isn't the cheapest of hobbies out there this one, so when you turn back and look at your old models with abysmal paint jobs you kinda get this incomplete feeling. (I might be alone in this of course) My painting is at a level that I am more or less satisfied with although there is always room for improvement. So I've been stripping my old models and repainting them for almost a year now and I am done with my devastators at last.

 

  Before: (This was actually my second attempt to correct them. The rocket launcher guy was how they all looked like at some point. You can see my horrible attempts at edge highlights and really bad construction mistakes due to metal weapons)

I have so much work to do. I stripped something like 40 marines. Some of them didn't make it due to being painted with enemals. But I have something like %80 success rate. I have 10 or so marines left. Still waiting for the break fluid to work it's magic.

Damn, your "before" Marines are better than mine lol!

 

What do you strip them with?

 

Break fluid. Nasty nasty stuff. Really bad for your health and you are not suppose to breath or touch it directly. I more or less turn into Walter White when I am dealing with the stuff. Gas mask, gloves, the works. Thankfully I am not gonna have to handle it anymore after stripping the models in the picture.
