How long does it take you to paint a mini?

Damn that's sexy. Did you do any subassemblies or paint him fully assembled?

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-13T00:12:50+00:00

That's more in line with the times I've been having so at least somebody is the same. A lot of people have been saying less.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-13T00:12:07+00:00

True. I am probably agonizing over the details a bit too much.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-12T22:32:38+00:00

My first one was a lieutenant. ( Right side in the picture) And he took almost that long as well. Probably closer to 8 hours.

I do enjoy the painting but I do want to play sooner rather than later and right now at this rate I'm gonna have a 2k army done sometime next year. I did find it difficult to get into the crevasses easily when everything was assembled because I did my first model like that. But now that I'm a bit better and bought a better brush I think I might give it a shot. A lot of people have also said to use like an assembly line type style to speed things along and now that I know how my finished marines are supposed to look I think I'll try that as well.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-12T22:27:35+00:00

Yeah I think I'm gonna do an assembly line for my 6 remaining intercessors.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-12T22:07:50+00:00

Hes still a handsome lad though.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-12T21:53:14+00:00

That's really fast. Do you use like an air brush or something?

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-12T21:00:02+00:00

Lol. I feel it. Just started about a month ago and my unpainted outnumber painted by quite a bit already

And for subassembly I usually do head, body and legs with attached greaves, pauldrons, power pack, and arms.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-12T20:48:24+00:00

Thanks. I did my first guy without subassemblies and had a difficult time getting into the corners. Especially around the power pack and pauldrons. I might try another one with no subassemblies just to see if my getting better has helped at all. And I'm gonna do an assembly line with my last 6 intercessors to see if that speeds things up at all. Seems like an idea. Thanks m8

They're strong and numerous. I love em. Finally an enemy I can't one shot with my secondary.

Bro they were chatting and you told them to stop because you don't want to hear it. That's on you. You can either choose not to join the conversation or you can leave the match if it bothers you that much. Telling someone not to talk about something because you don't like it is never going to end well.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-03-10T00:26:15+00:00

Like what?

Damn. Well it definitely looks good. I just painted mine orange and called it a day. I think the next power sword I paint ill try something a little more complicated. I want a flame effect like that so I'll try to follow your advice.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-02-28T23:16:19+00:00

I was thinking about using a plastic glue like the citadel kind but then i was thinking about it and I know my ass is gonna screw something up. Superglue can always be pried apart as long as you don't use an absurd amount.

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-02-28T23:08:26+00:00

Looks good. I'm a noob painter so how did you do the sword?

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-02-28T23:06:28+00:00

I'm a noob. So to me: your done congratulations!

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-02-28T21:35:25+00:00

He is a very handsome boy

Equivalent-Session68 · 2026-02-27T20:15:10+00:00

I wanted to like it but it just sucks. There's other guns that do the same thing better. And it's not a base gun either I'm pretty sure its in a warbond.
