40k-Speedpainting-Challenge: A Battalion of Kasrkin in one Weekend ***COMPLETED***
What's it all about...
So, I have these Kasrkin models flying around for years now. Unpainted, of course. They are the 3rd edition metal models (with the good old slit bases) from Games Workshop and are currently out of production. They make their way back every few years via that “Made to Order” thingy, but these are the old ones.
I had a choice to make. Sell them for horrendous amount of money on ebay (like 10 bucks per mini) or finally get around painting them. As I am told they are quite good in the current 8th edition of 40k I challenged myself: Can I paint them in a single weekend?
So I borrowed the Imperial G… sorry the Astra Militarum Codex and organized them into an eligible force. I have about 25 models, but as they can have two special weapons – and not only one – per 5 man squad now a few Hellgunners will not make the cut. Here is the list:
1 Tempestor Prime with Powerfist and Command Rod (using and old Commissar Model)
1 Primaris Psyker
3 Tempestus Scions Squads, each with 5 men, 2 special weapons (two squads with Plasma Guns and one with Meltas) and a Sarge with Power Sword and Plasma Pistol
Totalling up to 17 models and 14 Power or 353 Points. I was a bit surprised, but it’s actually a legal Battalion for 40k. I was only missing a single Plasma Gunner. So I bought him for an unbelievable amount on Ebay. The list is ready… what about the minis? And how will I do it?
