vampyrerodent Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Two things I would do wit that mass of troops. I would get another Platoon Command Squad for the extra orders and possible assault weapons too. Other thing would be to paint no more than 15 guys at a time in batches, maybe a squad at a time like Vel'Cona said. Otherwise it can get to be tedious and seem like it never ends. Little goals adding up to a bigger goal!

WarriorFish Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Vel has good points. I did a Platoon for last year's ETL and it nearly killed me :lol: Breaking models up into manageable batches along with variety along the way will see you through :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310040-has-anybody-ever-ran-an-igam-infantry-heavy-army/page/2/#findComment-4109018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismogrendel Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I did mine in batches, by squad. I'm not satisfied with the level of quality if I try to mass-spray and I find doing anything more than 10 at a time tends to burn me out fast. By doing a squad at a time, I can see the results build up incrementally and it bolsters me to keep going. Also, I stagger projects; I'll do a unit of infantry (which is tiring), then follow it up with a tank or character to refresh myself. But that's what works for me, you have to find your own style to get stuff done! This is the way I have been working. First I was going model by model, doing about one every two evenings. I only have about 15 painted troops going this way. I have a vet squad w/ 3 meltas I am working on now. I'm going color by color for these guys. Red BDUs on all, black armor and boots on all, etc. It's still going slowly but I do like seeing 10 guys come together at once. I got a vallejo dropper equal to the citadel red I am using. Might try to spray the BDUs on a mass of guys to save the brush work on that part. Two things I would do wit that mass of troops. I would get another Platoon Command Squad for the extra orders and possible assault weapons too. Other thing would be to paint no more than 15 guys at a time in batches, maybe a squad at a time like Vel'Cona said. Otherwise it can get to be tedious and seem like it never ends. Little goals adding up to a bigger goal! The list I am working on for thursday is currently: Commisar Yarrick 1x Platoon -Command Squad - 1 heavy flamer 3 regular flamer -5 squads - 5 lascannons -40 Conscripts -Ministorum Priest Trying to figure out what to do for the rest of my build. Models to juggle are: 3x leman russ (my opponent is cool with me running non-wysiwyg so I can do any loadout) 3x chimera 20 more infantry models (some plasma/some melta) (was thinking of two vet squads) Creed Sgt Kell Sgt Harker Inquisitor of some sort (with power armor or without) Possibly might get two wyverns assembled in time I have quite a few heavy weapon teams... maybe run some autocannons in the platoon as a HW team? Was also thinking of a decked out Pask squadron I think we are going to do 1500 pts.. my friend said build a list and he will build one with same point value Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310040-has-anybody-ever-ran-an-igam-infantry-heavy-army/page/2/#findComment-4109070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
