elmo Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 The temperate would be easier to paint as it is less complex but try a tester and see what it comes out like.

librisrouge Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 All the paint in the crevasses would not come out so I'm stopping buy the hardware store to pick up some acetone today and finish stripping these fast. I'm hoping to be primed and at least started painting buy the end of the weekend (along with my own ten page xeno campaign to finish on the Jay Treaty and the Criminal Protection Amendments.) It'll be a busy and fun weekend.

Kierdale Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Excellent -and such speedy- work, Elmo. I know the Kasrkin models are very popular but I've never got all that excited over them. But those are really impressive.

librisrouge Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I can only assume that, instead of priming them with paint, the previous owner of these pieces instead summoned some hell beast and sold his or her soul in order to adhere color to the surface of tiny pieces of metal (at total wast of a demon pact if you ask me but it has added anger and wrath to the world so who knows.) Even acetone is nothing to some of this stuff. Twenty-four hours of soaking and brushing and I'm officially calling it good enough. They're rebased and rebackpacked (its a word) with the sergeant also getting a shiny new chainsword, alla the good commissar's model, because it looks cool and to hell with power swords. I'll get them primed up asap and then move to paint them.

elmo Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 You should always trust a commissar ;) I will cut you some slack as you have had a late start with the caked on paint.

librisrouge Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Actually, it gets worse. I just ran home during my prep period, thinking I could prime the models and snap a quick picture or two so that it at least looks like I'm making progress, only to find that I don't have any primer. What I thought was my last can was actually some gloss black paint that my wife had for working on some furniture project she is doing. I live about an hour from any where that I'd actually trust the primer from so I do not know when I'll even get to prime these guys, sadly. Probably the second week of March when I go to another tournament. ++ I, librisrouge, hereby tender by surrender in this honorable competition between comrades. May my shame drive me to greater lengths of zeal in the future. I accept any punishment His honorable Commissariat deems appropriate. ++ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303554-the-commissariat-has-been-challenged/page/3/#findComment-3963789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Never give in. Never surrender! Your punishment is to paint those kasrkin soldier! Just crack on in your own time :) The Commissariat can be very understanding.

WarriorFish Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Surrender? That's not a word you want to say around a commissar libris ;) Keep in mind that the commissariat becomes less understanding when punishments are also failed... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303554-the-commissariat-has-been-challenged/page/3/#findComment-3963836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So much for catching up in the weekend... . I'm making decent progress, here's a pic of the first one I've finished. Elmo, those look great! Looks like Commissars aren't so lame after all... . http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah161/James_Dulcich/IMG_1153_zpszrmtpdax.jpg http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah161/James_Dulcich/IMG_1154_zpsgmwt4isx.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303554-the-commissariat-has-been-challenged/page/3/#findComment-3964001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Lame.... LAME! insulting the Commissariat is punishable by summary firing squad, but then again, what isn't in the IG ;) Nice work so far.

WarriorFish Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 He looks great, that's a fantastic red and the green makes for a good complement. A bit of gloss varnish on the lenses would really make him pop if you have any. He'll look even better with his mates too!

librisrouge Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hmmm...I was considering going with grey armor and black fatigues, which is what my guardsmen are going with, but that red really tempts me.

Father Mehman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Don't do it, libris- It's a trap in which indecisiveness will flourish! Stay the course with the grey and black, for the Emperor's sake! They've killed too many of us already!

Brother Hadafix Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Special issue, fire round corners rifles. unfortunately I did try to bend one back and it snapped off so I did not risk it with the rest The powersword has also been replaced with a chainsword for a similar reason... As I don't paint on weekends, that is your chance to catch up Hobby tip. Warm the metal first then ease to the proper position, finger and thumb should be enough. Do not do it when metal is cold.

librisrouge Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 My wife sent me to walmart to pick up some more grey paint. I decided to pick up some grey primer and risk it. Overall, it turned out ok. At least now I can progress to some painting whenever I get these rudding papers finished.

librisrouge Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've gotten started with my group now. Just some simple stuff today: aquilas in bronze, plasma coils in metallic green, and boots in brown. I'll make more progress int eh coming days. http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx141/librisrouge/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/DC05908F-28C5-4F00-A6FF-AD0696A5C4AC_zpsayiuqxmf.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx141/librisrouge/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/ADF1677B-69FC-4812-B128-88C36F61069C_zpsz0hwoeyw.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx141/librisrouge/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/3B8A9D76-7DB2-481D-9191-23E621863E47_zpsmg8lsqxp.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303554-the-commissariat-has-been-challenged/page/3/#findComment-3965808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
