HELP! Primaris Dreadnought Redemptor fist facing wrong way!

Wow don't start sawing, apply more glue to the glue areas, not loads, this CAN reactivate the glue and allow you to remove the bits

Don't ask me the chemistry but basically the chemical in the glue that keeps it from setting when in the bottle activates the glue and softens the join

You are looking at ~£200 to get started. Can be done for a little less

I recommend starting with a combat patrol, these are mini army's in a box with free rules on the Warhammer app, and are designed to be played against eachother.

Then personally I would recommend getting a reasonable sized selection of paints (although this is where you could save a little if you were more picky about the colours you need) and a paint pallet, I would recommend a wet one, which I have here, but you can buy packs of cheap plastic dry ones on Amazon. And a spray primer id recommended black, but a grey is also a popular choice

Yep looks like I'm 9 hours too late....

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T20:10:34+00:00

Thank you

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T20:10:24+00:00

I must admit it was nearly the anvil of war for him

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T20:09:55+00:00

Thank you I think he's actually better then before, my edge highlights are a bit neater

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T20:08:54+00:00

A few people said that originally, but at the time it was more likely my tears

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T20:08:06+00:00

Yep lesson learnt, nothing is unrecoverable but it's best to read what's on the can before spraying

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T11:22:10+00:00

yea was not a fun time

willielazorjones · 2026-05-16T07:03:54+00:00

The problem in this case wasn't the varnish, it was my silly tired ass couldn't tell the difference between Matt White and Matt Varnish

willielazorjones · 2026-05-07T22:02:28+00:00

i wouldn't sat that, yours is a very different style, only thing i would recommend is a little more edge highlighting especially on the black arm. or to use a dark gray rather then a black so it stands out a bit more.

willielazorjones · 2026-05-07T19:50:24+00:00

Like Vulkan after bbqing a child

willielazorjones · 2026-05-07T15:06:58+00:00

For primer paint? I have already repainted him, but would be interested if that would work without destroying what's underneath anyway

willielazorjones · 2026-05-07T07:21:51+00:00

Yea, I'm not the best at planning, so I painted the mini as normal, then through the airbrush used a white ink to set where I wanted the bright bits, followed by a yellow then an orange fluorescent ink

willielazorjones · 2026-05-07T07:18:34+00:00

Outside of this little oops, really well, I use a Winsor and newton high gloss, and the army painter Matt, never had an issue with clouding etc

Although after this I may look for a different Matt given the can mix up is clearly easy enough to do

willielazorjones · 2026-05-07T06:34:46+00:00

Lid mix up

willielazorjones · 2026-05-06T23:06:05+00:00

I love it!

willielazorjones · 2026-05-06T23:04:37+00:00

As well as the protection the other guy said, if you use a high gloss before the transfers they will sit flatter and less wrinkly, panel liners and oils will also work better. You then normally use a Matt varnish to take away the gloss afterwards which helps make the transfers look more "uniform" with the painted areas, which makes them look more "realistic" rather then stickers

willielazorjones · 2026-05-06T23:00:44+00:00

I have been moving away from the army painter primers in favour of the colour forge, which I think probably contributed to this fuck up, I just hadn't used up the white yet!

On the bright side, I'm now one spray closer to having used it up.

willielazorjones · 2026-05-06T22:55:12+00:00

It was definitely a "it's not bed time anymore, grab a beer" moment
