Using the "Dip" method I've got it down to about ten minutes to paint a
Tyranid.I've got 7000 or so points done with another 3000 to go. Just in
time to have my army rendered useless.

Bark!

Personally I prefer the modified dip method... using a brush and then
going back in a few minutes and again using a brush to soak up the puddles.

If you do it assembly line style it's much faster than it sounds.

That is how I'm doing it. And I would show photos, but Picassa won't let me
upload.

I doubt it will be rendered useless. You just might have to add a
Trygon or 3...

This is EXACTLY why I started magnetizing a lot of my models.
Having seen multiple armies get rules-raped, I'm sure as hell not going
to 'break off arms' and repaint finished minis. Screw that.

cost of 40-45 points each (with 1 measly wound),
I'd be on them like Nurgle needs a breath mint.

Psst! Too much spam and horse shit. Fuck photobucket. Try and load a picture

Hmmm, that's odd. I've never encountered that. I use their
'bulk-uploader' and haven't had a problem or been forced to wade through
crappy commercials. Maybe they just dig my hair?

Two words for you... "Firefox" and "NoScript". Take control of your
browser, man!

Thank you sir; may I have another?

BTW it is Firefox with no script on. I'm going back to Nutscrape.
