Not the right thread I imagine.
There also isn't an intentional glow effect on the model you linked. I think you might be reading the grey highlight on the legs as a purple glow...but it's just grey.
I've read before that simple green is effective, if I just fill up a sink or bucket of some kind and let the Trygon sit in that for a day or two, should I be good? I only did a very brief couple of sprays before noticing how awful it was, so it's not like the entire model is covered. I've never had to strip a mini before and I understand it's not easy for plastic, but I think I could get this crap off even with a knife is I had the time and patience for it.
I just finished stripping a whole stack of models simplegreen works great for some models but anything where the primer bonded well it did next to nothing. I found that some acetone free nail polish remover on a cotton swab worked pretty fantastic especially on flat surfaces although you do need to be careful as it can degrade the plastic a bit (5 minutes+ exposure in my experience)
Anybody have any experience magnetizing jump packs? What size magnet would you use? I have a stack of assault marines that I want the option of going with or without packs.
Only if you'll get upset by people rolling their eyes at the three hundred thousandth Grey Knight army they've seen since tuesday.
This made me laugh out loud. People at the library are looking at me funny.
2mm magnets should do just fine.

Holy shit every GW paint pot in one set? $500? Geez. Then I looked.
When the hell did they completly replace the entire paint range? Is it any good? I need answers!
I recently bought another batch. Overall I think they did well and I like how it's now an end-to-end system and even has a few frills like paint-on primer and gloss/matte varnish. The return of glazes is a nice touch, though I roll my own.
Mostly I think it's pretty great for a new painter just getting started and I'm fairly certain that was their goal.
Since you're local, I can tell you finding something that can strip a Plastic model is difficult in downtown Toronto.
I used to use Simple Green, but Canadian Tire stopped selling it. It looks like Walmart still sells it if you can get to one.
Basically just soak the model in the cleaner, maybe with some water added, overnight. The next day use an old toothbrush to scrub it while running it under warm water. If it doesn't all come off, you can soak and try again.
There was something else I tried that worked well I found at Canadian Tire, I think it was called "purple power" or something like that. That worked well but I haven't seen it on the shelves in a little while.
What.
I'm done.
I miss the actual special character unit. I won against 1000pts of marines with them once. Also, some of the best painting 18 year old FroThulhu ever did.

I have used normal Dot4 Brake Fluid to strip both plastic and metal models before. You need then to soak for a while, but the paint comes off a treat with no damage to the model.
No, but we'll all thing less of you. They're competitive and popular, but have this obnoxious "even more super special elite all the other super special elite space marinez" thing going on.
In my day people respected Daemonhunter players.
I still want to make an Inquisition force with no actual Grey Knights. Led by Inquisitor Adrastia.
Also, I'm cross-posting this here on the account I finally finished my stupid mob.
The glowy eye is painted and not an LED at all! I pretty much rolled a 20 painting that.
Buuut, I heard that a new edition is going to hit in the summer. It would probably be more sensible to wait until that hits, save my cash, and consider what I want to do when that is out and I don't risk making something that will fall apart instantly under the new rules set.
I also actually have most of an Ultramarines force to paint that has been sitting around for ages, now I think about it. Made purely because the players at my local GW are fairly obnoxious to the kids about Ultramarines and I wanted to troll them. I am a horrible human being.
Some Tyranid Warrior wings or Ripper swarms, maybe.
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
I still say it. The wolves are cool, space marines riding them is not cool.
How silly would it be of me to put together a Thousand Sons tac squad before the new Chaos codex comes out (supposedly this fall)?
Man, that's gotta be a pain to carry all that around.
"It costs a lot, but its an assault weapon that fires a lascannon beam."
He flipped. Ranted about Cheese Wolves and the cheese dog cavalry.
Been thinking about getting a KR case. Four Raiders/Ravagers in one unit, two of those units, and then the footsloggers in my old GW case.
edit: actually, a KR-3 holds three units. 2x Raiders, one footslogger. Hmm.
Fuck that. Get Venomborn support instead.
Or a Razorwing.
