Hey everyone!
I started painting Warhammer mid last year and I while I have dabbled in kitbashing before I this is my first one that uses multiple sets as well as Tamiya putty.
I got some lil fellas off FB Marketplace for really cheap so I wanted to do something interesting with them. This was them before:
I have a few questions, and thought you guys and gals might be able to help.
- Any general advice for kitbashing?
- How do you strip your old paint? It took multiple washes with simple green and scrubbing, which isn't what I have heard is the general amount needed.
- What chapter do you think would go well with this guy? I wanted to keep some of the yellow and maybe red from the original pieces.
Also, if you want to check out some of my other stuff and give advice for a newcomer to the hobby that would be awesome! https://www.instagram.com/andrewsometimespaints?igsh=cmw4MWFwend2NzBx
Thanks! That is so helpful! I wondered if they may have been Firehawks beforehand. I really like the colours but I'm not a huge fan of the hotrod flames haha!
Good point about what materials to use, I have some jewelry chain that I tied around a Khaos marines arm previously, but zip ties are such a good idea.
I will have to watch that video and figure out what paint stripping is available in Aus.
Oh too bad, I think flames are neat! You could do Howling Griffons if you don't mind the time needed to do a quartered scheme. Or just kind of experiment and make your own chapter.
I think I like them for orks or vehicles but not as much on armour but I can see the appeal. Quartered could be interesting!
