JBugman Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 But for cadians the gun is attached to the right arm anyway? It makes it a nightmare to paint their chest armour otherwise. I remember my old (15yr+) catachans had separate guns. Though the arms had the gun stock so I think you had to clip part of the gun off to actually attach it? Sorry, I remember painting my marines without the bolters and attaching them separate. My Preatorians are all solid metal. If you can't not paint the gun separate then do the best you can.

Wassa Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yeah I haven’t played in the last 16/17 years. Apparently he died in that time but I thought he could be a stand in for Creed or at least a company commander so stripped off his old paint job and repainted him. There are some good models in Colonol Shaeffers Last chancers that will make decent commanders too which may be up next!

elmo Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 As others have said, it varies dependant on your choice of colour scheme and your ability as a painter. I consider myself fairly fast and can do a squad of 10 from priming to complete in about 7 evenings of 2-3 hours so give or take 18 hours for 10 models - but I do tend to make things difficult for myself by having chosen camouflage as a scheme :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346718-how-long-does-it-take-to-paint-cadian-shock-troops/page/2/#findComment-5069802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAlchemist Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I use the urban camo scheme from the old city fight codex. ( shadow grey, black, white). It takes me 30 minutes a squad .

crimsondave Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I do a modified version of this... It is very quick. Doing it in batches, I can do 30 to 50 in 4 two hour sessions of painting give or take.

spafe Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I use the urban camo scheme from the old city fight codex. ( shadow grey, black, white). It takes me 30 minutes a squad . 30 mins?! I'd be happy if I could do 10 guys in 2 hrs and I don't even do camo scheme! That's quite a feat of painting!

Shamansky Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 But for cadians the gun is attached to the right arm anyway? It makes it a nightmare to paint their chest armour otherwise. No offence but... You sir are a maniac! Does it really matter as long as you'll never see that piece of a model?
