They would be pretty easy to repaint, not sure how easy it would be to strip the paint that is already there though...

Just curious if a black primer would gump them up or not.

From what everone is doing, and what im seeing, the first re-paint is straight over the original cover. Some are priming straight over the factory cover which is very this. You wont have any problems for the first re-paint, anything after that, you must strip.

I used the generic version of the green stuff, forget the name, Matt Knows what its called. Anyways it can be found in Walgreens. Works nice. It dosent get a good primor coat (GW) from this brand, off very good though.

See Ya.

Thank buddy, but I hardly think so.

But If I painted figures as good as I play the game, then yes, I would be a Pro Painter. tongue

I just finished painting my Nakolavany Sierp Last night. Well for the most part, I have a few tid bits to finish, but its all wrapped up and awaiting to be dispatched to the Mega Battle, in Indianapolis Indiana. Cool

Its painted completely Choas Black, with all symbols of the Red Blok in white, for the Operation Frostbite Campaign. It looks killer. Kinda reminds me of a Natzi/Russian AFV with the colour.

Im thinking of Dry brushing it white, but everytime I dry Brush somthing, I over do it, and mess it all up. Any Tips?

Sure this is old but...

I've repainted a couple AT43 and a newer Conf figure. Both times going straight over the paint job.

If you want to fully repaint you can go with some clean up (mold lines etc..) then look to a light primer coat directly over their paint which is fused to the figure. I think you'd have lot of trouble stripping it.

I'm in the middle of a full repaint on a Karman K shooter so over primer.

Col Stark and the wolfen here were about an hour just sharpening up the highlights and deepening the shade. The wolfen was cut and rebased.
