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.

  1. Any general advice for kitbashing?
  2. 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.
  3. 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

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!
