Painted models set up on an interesting battlefield have a wonderful way of encouraging others to roll dice together.

They are quite brittle at the knees. Also, do not clean them over a sink as the tiny lads can easily disappear in the depths of the warp (plughole).

I've recently made a post about it on my blog here: http://another-wargaming-blog.blogspot.nl/2017/03/stripping-paint-from-plastic-warhammer.html. <br /><br />Hijack completed, thank you Orlygg for the attention to epic. I vaguely recall putting an awful paint job on my brother's Space Marine set and playing epic over the course of a summer holiday. Have to say I feel the itch to get back to it (and maybe actually play some Adeptus Titanicus too). Lacking both boxes I'll probably cross fingers and hope GW re-releases both sets.Merijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716366155171452512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-79708355394998847672017-03-03T07:49:42.703-08:002017-03-03T07:49:42.703-08:00Hi, I don't want to highjack the thread but fo...Hi, I don't want to highjack the thread but for those of you that are still using detol for stripping miniatures, plastic or metal there is a better way (cheaper and less toxic):<br />https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7SsWOYMialA<br />All credits to the video maker, not me.<br />CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363932641965766213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-69181016845717943442017-03-01T23:41:39.946-08:002017-03-01T23:41:39.946-08:00Argh!

When I was a kid, all I did was puttig some base colors on the models. They looked fine to me, then, but I can imagine that nowadays just a few basic steps could make them really shiny.<br /><br />One question comes to mind: Did you test stripping painted models? Ive got huge loads of marines and orks from all three incarnations of the game, but many (and sadly most of the plastics) are painted. Does Dettol also work on such small minis?Fincas Khalmorilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236426064810488093noreply@blogger.com
