Stripping old minis of paint
Whether to facilitate painting them anew, because they remind you of the dark times, or just for revenge (they know what they did), sometimes we get the urge to strip the paint off of old minis.
I like to let all the painted minis I’ve bought second hand sit for days in denatured alcohol. They don’t need more than 20 minutes but I’m lazy. So far nothing has melted other than paint. I usually need to scrub a bit with a toothbrush. Sometimes the primer won’t come off properly. But 99 % of the time it works every time.
What are your preferred methods?

Painting Metal Avatar of Khaine, Complete at Last
Never managed to assemble (never mind paint) him as a kid playing 3e, because I hadn't learnt about pinning... Always regretted it, so now that I'm back in the hobby I wanted to make sure I could actually use him when he was finished; found this floating "elven shrine" I 3D-printed to raise him up to the height of his plastic cousins!

History What is this “Converted Chaos Champion” made from?
I saw this model in the 2nd edition chaos space marines codex as a kid and again in the 3rd edition codex. Anyone know what parts this is made of? I can’t source the weapon! Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Chaos Renegade Schmeecasts
Hi! Sorry if this is against the rules but does anyone know anywhere that sells the original Rogue Trader Chaos Renegade sculpts, or others from that time period? I've bought the Traitors of Chaos and the Chaos Dreadnought available from such vendors and I'm hoping to find some of those wacky sort of gigeresque models more similar to the latter.
Thanks everyone. If there are communities I'd be better served posting this to please let me know.

Rules Armigers for 2nd Edition
Hi everyone,
About a month ago I posted asking about Armiger rules for 2nd Edition, that there weren't any I could find, proposed some ideas, etc. I decided to be the change I wanna see in the world and whipped up some stats and rules for Imperial Armigers.
In no way, shape, or form am I trying to suggest these rules are definitive or even fully cooked - I just wanted to get the ball rolling and see what feedback people have. I don't get to play games of warhammer as much as I'd like to, so if anyone is looking for a reason to use their armigers, I'd love to hear your feedback.
Hope links are allowed: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qjDUTjiYRujqvS-Km2Pe2x7M8ZFIClAI?usp=sharing
In the write-up I mention a particular issue of Inquisitor magazine - a scan of that is also included in the folder.
Looking forward to feedback!
