This is probablly a stupid question, but do the metal storm troopers on gw's site come as one piece ? (from the imperial guard)
i was wondering this because ive seen metal models that you glue.
Im pretty sure they dont come pre painted, so any special kinds of paints i need for them?

Yes, they're one piece.

Um...Well..You need all the colors that you want to paint them as...And Primer.

I mean any SPECIAL TYPES OF PAINTS? like, do i need a diffrent kind of paint? I know whatever colors I want, but do i need a SPECIAL,or DIFFRENT type of paint from the norm?
And is there a diffrence between stormies and karsikins?

depends on how you define normal paints.

i recommend gw or vallejo paints

Alright bro, take it easy. I answered you question. No reason to raise your...er..Voice.

No, not really. Painting metal is the same as painting plastic, as long as you prime it.

No. Karskins are just the cadian variety of storm troopers. They're exactly the same, game wise. Karskins look way better, IMO. I see no reason to even use the storm trooper models, unless you absolutely hate cadians.

Kasrkins are generally accepted as the newest Stormtroopers. They were made for the Eye of Terror campaign though, and fluff wise are cadia-exclusive. However since the standard Imp Guard army seems to be centrally cadian it's natural to assume Kasrkins fulfill this role in their armies.

As for paints, I find that any acrylic paints will do. I personally prefer dollar store paints as they're just as good as GW variety but alot cheaper. Primer, however, is still best bought at GW.

Really? I'd think it'd be the reverse I've had terrible luck with craft store paints (except black) and excellent results with walmart spray paints...

The kasrkin come in two pieces - the trooper, and his back pack.

GW primer and paint will do.
