An when I ask this, I don't mean lore or what scheme to go with, I mean, how do you handle the bloody units without pricking yourself!? Every stinking time I try to paint them, it's like handling a freakin cactus! I turn into a belligerent irish man every time my unit pricks me, and I have 5 of these boogers to finish painting.

So if any of you guys have painted such units, and know of a good way to handle them, I would love to have that tid bit of info.

Use a painting handle or bluetac them to a paint pot. No handling required.

Imagine how us chaos players felt back in the days of LEAD. That's right hard metal spikes digging in.

Every chaos player was a closet masochist. Slannesh? LOL.

Get tougher skin mate.

Soaking in brine or rubbing alcohol can help with that.

Thats nothing compared to dropping old metal Dread on your foot.

try standing on a hover base when you don't see it in bare feet... that'll turn you irish...

Just leave the spiny jump pack wings off. Gives them an easy spot to pick them up, and they don’t seem to serve any real purpose.
