I have a reputation, Modile, a reputation as a fair, honest man who treats his soldiers well and supports them in the face of darkness. Potentially, that reputation makes me soft. It seems I understand failure and forgive it. Some, like Kowle, believe me to be a weak commissar, not prepared to take the action my rank demands. Not prepared to enforce field discipline where I see it failing. I am an Imperial commissar. I will enflame the weak, support the wavering, guide the lost. I will be all things to all men who need me. But I will also punish without hesitation the weak, the incompetent, and the treasonous.
I am a Commissar. I am empowered to deliver justice wherever I see it lacking. I am empowered to punish cowardice. I am granted the gift of total authority to judge, in the name of the Emperor, on the field of combat.

It depends on what you are painting. Some models it is easier to paint without backpacks/guns etc stuck on, others it is not so bad, so you can glue it all together and then paint.
Just make sure you give the glue time to dry - nothing wose than going to paint a freshly assembled model and supergluing your brush and ruining it (and/or sticking the brush to the model)

Agreed, for me, painting my guard, I glue the torso and legs and undercoat them. Arms and head seperate so I can get all the details on the chest, samething with my Ultrasmurfs. What I do now those is blue tack arms and head on the the undercoat spraying, but keep em seperate until other details are complete. Its a bit finicky, but I reckon the painting is a bit easier!

If you're painting Space Marines or Guard, you generally should assemble first. If you're painting Termagants, shooty Ork boyz, or any number of models with significant overlap, you may want to paint them on the sprue or while partially assembled.
