So I just did all my Terminators Magenta/Emperor's Children Pink a couple of weeks ago. My Tactical Marines are half Violet/Half Caliban Green (successor chapter for angels of redemption) and I have 15 inherited Grey Knights that are proxies for stuff that I haven't started using but are mephisto red.

They're all done, based, varnished.

Now I wanna change their colors.

I wanna have the entire chapter varying shades of purple/green depending on the unit. The Tactical Marines are fine as is so no problem there. But the Terminators I want to make a deep purple with highlights of green here and there and if I can somehow pull off a glowing effect on them that would be sweet.

First question. Has this ever happened to you guys; you finish a paint job and then once you're done you redo the entire thing.

Second question. How does one control this painting urge?

Yes, I have painted my sisters of battle army twice now.

Sometimes you just have to say 'it's done' and buy more minis

Yeah... My Dark Angels have been recoloured 3-4 times now... theyre currently purple. But I'm once again feeling the codex colours :/ havent got aorund to it, but I think theyre going in the drink oneday to be green again. :/ ahh well its saved me tonnes of money on purchasing new models to paint each time.

I just realised that I am going to magnetize my little busted tactical squad so I can easily take it apart and repaint.

Yes, yes, let the paint flow through you
