Hi Everyone! I suddenly have a whole bunch of time on my hands and need something time consuming and relatively inexpensive to keep myself from going crazy. So, I decided to strip and repaint all my models! My basic color scheme is the attached. I originally chose it because it would allow me to paint a large number of models that would look decent quickly. Unfortunately, I have begun to develop a sense of shame on with my slopily painted and assembled army.
To put this undertaking in perspective, I have an entire drop-pod mounted battle company along with Chaplains, Librarians, 35 Terminators, 2 Stormtalons, a Storm Raven, a Razorback, 15 scouts of various ilks, 3 Predators, and a Thunderfire Cannon. I think I got it all.
So, my big question is what do people think I should do to make my life as easy as possible. I am thinking about painting each piece separately so I can make sure I don't have random plastic grey spots coming through. Is it ok to spray paint these things? A lot of the guys I game with use the $1 cans of Wal-Mart spray paint as a base coat. As I use a lot of white, I am thinking I can just spray all the body parts white and leave it at that. Would this be a method I could use and still have it turn out well? I know I need new brushes, but I have all the paints I need. Is there anything else people can think of that I might need?
I am sure I will keep posting here and asking questions but if all y'alls have any tidbits of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
