I keep looking at my army and thinking it really does need some paint on it, but the task now looks so big it fills me with dread.

I am going to try and start soon, I have found a couple of hours a week painting time that I can commit to, I just need to finish off a couple of display models first.

So If any one has any advice on how to tackle this beast I will b very great full.

1. Get a can of spray primer (unless you have an airbrush) in the base color you are going to use. This will speed up the process tremendously.

2. Break it up into smaller chunks, like ten man painting modules, put the rest out of site so it's not as intimidating.

3. ?

4. Profit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131320.page GMT
Then assemble/clean mold lines on that one unit. Prime em all and start laying in base color assembly line fashion.

Now, with skaven, your 'unit' could be 40+ so you might even want to break it into 10 model groups. But the key point is to not have 250 bare plastic/metal rats staring at you... with those wee beady eyes and their smug grin...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131322.page GMT IG.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131339.page GMT
I will have to keep the ones i'm not painting off my desk or there will be no room LOL

but yeah I guess it will be a matter of just chipping away.

I can't work our if it will be better to get the whole army to a basic 3 colour standard first, one unit at a time, are completely paint each unit included shadow + highlight before moving on.

They are all primed so far, However I did it in grey not the base colour of the army. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131575.page GMT
I don't know much about skaven, maybe you could do similar... undercoat a light brown, wash a darker brown, then pick out the metal bits then some of the other details.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131604.page GMT
Pick 2 colors for shirts/pants

Dip them in some form of wash

Done.



That will give you time to paint the cooler guys slower and make them look better. Blobs of cannonfodder dont need to be super detailed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131638.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6131956.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6134989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556821/6134989.page GMT
