Washes should still work for shading, and paint stuff right over it. Then add another layer of sealer for the new stuff.sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963476950306205201.post-61648344031241562222012-06-18T08:12:34.182+01:002012-06-18T08:12:34.182+01:00Cheers for the comments.

Also means you have more models when it comes to larger games or apocalypse games. As gamers there's one thing we all love anyway - more models!!<br /><br />www.insaneheroism.blogspot.comFirewasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437136828739603902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963476950306205201.post-70188337110330106192012-06-16T22:31:56.924+01:002012-06-16T22:31:56.924+01:00It can be a lot of work, but can be very rewarding...It can be a lot of work, but can be very rewarding in the end. I stripped/reprinted my Ork and ig armies and am glad I did. <br /><br />Since your scheme is still pretty much the same, try just using some washes and highlights and see if that works before going whole hog.sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963476950306205201.post-52626892413119223722012-06-16T18:24:57.285+01:002012-06-16T18:24:57.285+01:00I have been painting a while and I am of two diffe...I have been painting a while and I am of two different minds on repainting my old figures. I have some of the old Rogue trader marines I painted from when I started the hobby back in the early 90's. I used enamel piants and they were barely basecoated but I doubt I will ever repaint them because they show how far I my painting has come since then. On the other hand, I have a Rogue Trader Chaplain that I fielded with them back in the day and I have repainted it up to a much better standard to field with my newer much better painted models. If you want to repaint your older figures and the paint isn't caked on them just consider the old paint job a base coat. A light reprime and you are back in business. If the paint is on them thick and a reprime will obscure the details then stripping is the better option. It bolis down to whether you can live with their paint scheme or you want to have a cohesive style across the whole army. You could always buy more models and make a GW bean counting fairy smile but I wouldn't actually consider it as a good option.<br /><br />ColKGColKillgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525442150477092825noreply@blogger.com
