I depends on what I am painting. If I am painting something that will be mostly drybrushed and painted in mass. I will assemble then paint. If I'm painting an important HQ unit or something like that I'm pretty likely to paint it in partially assembled pieces then put it together. Like the legs and torso together the arms and shoulder pads together then the backpack then the head. 5 pieces is enough. I used to paint every single thing separately, but that got annoying fast as glue ruined paint jobs.

SM's with their bolters in front of their chest. As for my boyz, i just got done dry brushing two of them, they're sloppy but it's my first attempt and it looks decent to say the least.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/573779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/573779.page GMT When painting do you... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/573935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/573935.page GMT When painting do you...
In any case, if it's assembled after painting, it gets highlighted/drybrushed/washed/etc. after its assembled.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574010.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574010.page GMT When painting do you...
Space Marines and CSMs, for example, get assembled fully, with the exception of bolters and backpacks. Daemons I'll usually fully assemble.

AoBR Marines, I assembled them first and played a few games before painting. Then, when I wanted to paint them, I'd just take the backpacks and Bolters off (Because there's no need to glue your AoBR Marines. They've got little peg things that you can stick them together with, saves glue.) and then paint them separately, whereas with my High Elf Archers, I assembled and then painted. Of course, you can't take High Elf Archers apart once they've been glued, but still...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574024.page GMT When painting do you... I fully assemble mine , including shields ,back packs, everything , fully glued!

This way they arnt a wreck and a mess when they arnt painted, they can sit quietly on my shelf and drawer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574027.page GMT Re:When painting do you... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230692/574079.page GMT
