I usually work my way down the army list, like right now I’m working on my first 1000pts of Falschirmjaeger, so I’ll always have a playable force at hand.

are thanks comes with stat cards for Tanks skirmish too?

For team yankee i assembled and painted a unit completely before moving on. Too many little bits that can get mixed up if you are mass removing from sprue. That said i still messed up bits of my Hinds…

German 15mm tanks are getting churned out quicker than Russian tanks in WW2. Nice work guys (and girls).

I wonder if all those tanks could go up against the nachtwolves !!!!!

Ivery never been good at making things in batches , mix up my parts lol , looking good can’t wait to see all the army’s painted up and fighting in the deserts of north Africa

I love the assembly line format when doing a ton of models which are identical. The question I always have in any miniature war-game is WHICH VARIANT do I build. I hate not having all the options, but putting magnets on these tiny vehicles can be a challenge. Do I pick this barrel or that barrel. I know that is half the fun of war-games but my problem is I build the model one way and then after playing a few games wish I wold have built it in a different version. I know proxy is always one way to… Read more »

I’ve never been able to afford to buy a whole lists worth of minis in one go but I do usually batch 5-10 troops for building and painting or wait until I have 2 or 3 vehicles and do them as a group. As much as it’s easier to match the painting that way, YOU MUST WRITE DOWN YOUR PAINTS. That being said I’ve only painted 28mm minis and a few X-wing repaints so I don’t know how I’d aproach a dozen tanks.

I tend to build units at a time as that is how I purchase them. I have seldom been able to get a whole army at once. When I do I tend to do like items in larger batches to speed things up. I do generally assemble before painting.

Ideally with my late war Germans i try keep to the same way for painting all my vehicles, i have a batch of tanks i want to paint up but im waiting on a few more items before i do. My British/ Canadian infantry i painted all at once and i think they turned out great. even for my basic painting skils

Very cool guys looks like a blast.

I usually start out getting my favorite models (Warmachine/Hordes, Malifaux and 40K comes to mind) and then build armies from there. That way, I am sure that the factions I play, have my favorite miniatures 🙂

I think going to a boot camp is the only way I’d “finish” an army – they’ve gotten further in 1 day than some of my stuff from over a year!

these are the kinda events I wish could happen more often at my local gaming club

Getting started is the hard part. Having others working with you helps. I have found that having painting sessions with fellow hobbyists have been the most productive. There are a couple of youtubers who do skype paint and talk sessions.

Those Panzers look nice with all the stowage options.

BOW tankagrad?

Batch building can make someone burnt out pretty fast but for some reason there is that tiny satisfaction when you slowly assemble your production run like a tank factory lol
