Chest of Colors forum

Good Afternoon.

I just discovered this awesome section of my favourite forum, and it coincides with my FLGS' Warmahordes Journeyman league. I'm going to be doing Seaforge for the Journeyman, so I'll be tracking my progress here.

To start, what I have for Seaforge right now:
Durgen Madhammer
Gorten Grundback

Grundback Gunners X8
Ghordson Avalancher
Ghordson Basher
Wroughthammer Rockram x2
Ghordson Driller x2

Hammerfall High Shield Gun Corps X6 + UA
Horgenhold Forge Guard X10
Herne & Jonne
Ogrun Bokur
Thor Steinhammer

8 Gunners is way too many, so I have 3 Blaster guns coming from PP to change those. I also have an order in for 6 more High Shields, General Ossrum and Brun and Lug. I will consider this army finished with a second unit of Forge Guard and 2 more Bokurs.

Unfortunately no pics as they are about read to go into a nice acetone soup (a couple of the jacks have super glue mounds instead of legs, and things were just not glued in the proper position).

Tonight however I am going to start work on the bases. I'm using these Micro Art bases as inspiration (https://www.shop.microartstudio.com/imag ... 40x180.jpg).

good luck with the tale

Good luck

very nice to see you joining

Good luck!
I remember I also wanted to give Searforge a try yet all I managed to collect was 2 gunners
One of them were sacrificed to M.E. god...

So everything got dunked into the acetone last night. Kept checking periodically and as of this morning they still need to sit in there. Plan for tonight is to work on the bases.

So I have a little problem. The searforge have been in pure acetone for almost a week now and its still not stripping the paint. Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening?

What paint is to be stripped?

About 2/3 of them are just black primer, but it was a pretty thick primer. Those minis the primer is left in the cracks.

The last 1/3 are fully painted with a clear coat. Some of these minis most of the paint has come off except for a few weird places (like a flat surface). The others appear as if nothing has happened.

I do have some steel wool that I was thinking of using to try and clean them, but I'm not sure what it would do to the minis after being in the acetone for that long.

Even with an intensive bath in Acetone, I had some metals minis that I couldn't get completely cleaned. The primer had been done too long ago and was melted with the metal itself and some part wouldn't go away. Sadly there isn't any real solution for that
