				<title>Questions About Assembling/Painting Skitarii Rangers and Vanguard</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I'm working through the Skitarii rangers and vanguard from the Kill Team starter set and would like some input on other people's processes (not super-interested in paint schemes).  For example, do you paint first then assemble?  Does anyone greenstuff the connection in the cloaks, or is there an easy way not to have a big crack running down the coat where the pieces are joined?  Do you pin their tiny little boots?  Do you bother to drill out the gun barrels or do you get a pass since they're such a small diameter?  I've only really ever painted orks, and they seem a lot less fiddly on the whole.<br /> <br /> Lastly, I didn't know where to start painting them (I've since watched the WarhammerTV video about it on YouTube), so I did my usual paint-on white primer, and then did a black wash, and got the idea that since these guys are rangers fighting their way through the streets of Vigilus, it would look cool if they looked like they were covered in rockcrete dust, but I don't know how to go about it.  Something like this, only you know, intentional...<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/989848-Adeptus%20Mechanicus%2C%20Admech%2C%20Kill%20Team%2C%20Rangers%2C%20Skitarii%2C%20Warhammer%2040%2C000.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2018/12/25/989848-Adeptus%20Mechanicus%2C%20Admech%2C%20Kill%20Team%2C%20Rangers%2C%20Skitarii%2C%20Warhammer%2040%2C000.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Thanks for any input!]]></description>

				<title>Questions About Assembling/Painting Skitarii Rangers and Vanguard</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I have assembled and painted dozens of Skitarii. The one thing that I definitely recommend is to prime and paint the backpack and legs separately from the torso, then attach the legs and backpack before attaching the model to the base. It is annoying as hell to get the lining right while it is attached to the base. It is also annoying to get the shadows on the robes right with the backpack in the way.<br /> <br /> AdMech is the most fiddly army to paint in <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>. Especially Dragoons. They really make you rage; ask for advice before even starting one of those.<br /> <br /> I only drill out the Galvanic Rifle barrels. You only need a small divot, not even a hole. Black paint or wash does the rest.<br /> <br /> Don't do drab Skitarii. They look best in flamboyant 18th century colors. If you want to add dust after the fact, use pigment color.<br /> <br /> Here are some of my Tech Guard Auxilia:<br /> <br /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/zI5bKSg.png" border="0" /><br /> <br /> Specifically, they count as Ministorum Priest, Master of Ordnance, Company Commander, and Colonel Straken.<br /> <br /> As you can see, I went with sky blue and orange for maximum contrast. I don't wash the robes, though I do do some blending. This contrasts well with VMC silver and brass washed with Agrax Earthshade to give it a oily look. (I hate Citadel paint pots for everything but washes.)]]></description>
