Restoring and Speed Painting Old School Warhammer! Classic Cawdor Gang for Necromunda

Cawdor! My man!

Nice paint job.

Nice! Cawdor was my first gang in OG Necromunda. Love those old models.

For Detol scrubbing, works best to scrub with Detol rather than water, water can turn the paint to a gunky mess.

Also after many many Detol cleaning sessions I am band from using it now, moved to wilko paint stripper which is great, and then for really tough paint pure accertone (if it's metal).

Would love to see a Necromunda battle report on your incredible terrain!

That rat is the star of the gang, for sure

To save yourself from the sticky, brush the paint off with the Detol and not water. I do it that way and have never had a problem.

Painting question... I see a lot of people prime with black, but I have bad vision and it makes it hard for me to see details when I am painting... is there a reason a lot of folks use black instead of grey, or is it just personal preference?

If you ever strip metal minis use acetone. Better result than Dettol and the whole process takes 15 minutes. In most cases paint comes off on its own.

Friend, you are doing the Dettol method incorrectly. Water is the enemy. It creates the gummy mess. 1 Immerse in Dettol for 24, 36, 48 hours - all good. 2 Get two tooth-brushes. Use the first to scrub the paint off the mini in Dettol. Use the Dettol as the liquid to dilute the paint before throwing it away. Dip the mini in the Dettol as you scrub. 3 Now place the mini on a dry kitchen towel and remove as much of the grey muck as you possibly can with the tissue. Get the mini as clean as you can. 4 Now put a blob of liquid hand soap on the mini and use the second brush to scrub the mini clean. 5 Now you introduce water to the method. To clean off the soap, not the Dettol. 6 Dry the mini completely before deciding whether it is clean enough to be primed, or whether it needs a second Dettol treatment. Works on all types of paints and minis without damaging glue like acetone will. Hope that helps.

And the minis look great on your terrain. Cool.

Really nice, thanks for the upload.

LET'S GET TO IT!

Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

I miss my old school Delaques. The new ones are nice, but I loved the look of the old timers.

They look great! I have heard that LA's Totally Awesome is a great miniatures paint stripper. Thanks for sharing this.

I fully endorse everything about this video. Awesome job man :)

dope

Love old school warhammer - awesome, dude.

I’m looking to put together a Team to Hunt down the people who leave “thumbs down” on Eric’s videos and plant a flaming bag of poop on their doorstep... I’m gonna need a few Hackers, a tracker, a demolitionist, (to actually light the bags on fire), and a couple of guys with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and an insatiable appetite for Taco Bell... WHO’S WITH ME!?!?!?!!!???

did you know you can use break fluid to strip acrylics from plastic miniatures in less than an hour? just be careful, it's toxic

Really nice scheme. I find it hard for blue to be a popular color in such a grim dark setting, but these guys seem to fit. Chill music too.

Forgot about this one! Good techniques though for buying stuff online

Step 1 - soak in dettol...
Well it’s October 2020 so I haven’t seen a bottle of dettol in about 8 months here in the UK.. damn.

nice. cool video. i just picked out all my old warhammer i had when i was a kid and want to have a go at working through it again!

would dettol work on plastic minatures?

Ionce cleaned an Epicast Stompa using a big bucket of dettol, my hands were a real mess

on thir back & up the crack

Thanks for this video. I was painting a Cawdor juve in preparation for Stargrave but couldn't decide on an alternating color, but now I'm using Wraithbone for the pants.

Never mix acrylic paint and dettol with water it turns to glue. Scrub in dettol only then once just about all paint is off then I soak in warm water and soap then rose off with clean water. That’s it. Never water before the paint is gone m!

I find acetone is way better than dettol, less is needed, for less time and overall it seems like it has less fumes, though being in a well ventilated space etc. is a given. Ad not to be used on plastic, ever... I love the old school look of the paintjob ;)

If you use brake fluid for cars it also works with plastic or resin models

i never would have thought that something as simple as runefang drybrushed over rhinox hide would produce such an effective "rust" effect! definitely going to try that one on my own necromunda bases going forward.

i love rescuing minis from ebay i just got a vampire counts battalion box set

Oven cleaner. Clean miniatures in hours not days. Works awesome on sinks and tubs too. It's not just for ovens..fumes beware...

You can tell he is Italian by the hand gestures

wow, I have a cawdor gang i held on to from way back in the day, I was hoping to get around to painting them. you have shown me the path, thanks!

Love 'em!!!

Acetone instead? Or simple green?

Thanks for the vid. Quick tip - don't introduce water to the Dettol. That is what made it gum up. You've got to brush it off dry. Hope that helps for the future!

Stripping is so satisfying

ACETONE
