Does anyone know a solid way to remove old paint and maybe the primer from the models w/o a big hassle? I have some old tyranids and chaos marines i was looking to get back into. Thanx guys!

If it's acrylic paint and superglue, then you can't go wrong with either Super Clean or Simple Green. Let the model soak overnight and then gently brush it clean with an old, soft bristle tooth brush. This should take the paint right off.

The glue should be brittle and easily come apart. You may stain the model plastic, but primer will cover it. There are numerous tutorials on both the web and Dakka if you need more info.

Thanx boss. Its just GW paint and glue. Yea I'm new so stil learning how to browse the sight

Here's some better tutorials:
