Efficiency of soft solvents like ethanol, rubbing alcohol, whitespirit and others depends on type of primer you have used. But I'm in doubt that they'll help if you say that Simple Green did nothing.

I'd recommend braking fluid (DOT4 or DOT3, the second one being better). It won't harm the plastic besides bleaching it a bit. It can soften the plastic, but don't be afraid - miniature would harden again when fluid evaporates. It will dissolve any acrylic/nitrous hobby/automotive primer I ever know.

Don't waste your time on "soft" solvents. Don't buy whole can of braking fluid. You only need 100-150 cc. Try to find a garage, even used braking fluid will work well. Work in a good ventilated area or better outdoors. Sink miniature for 15-20 minutes, rub it with toothbrush. Rinse and repeat until you're satisfied. Don't apply force, better repeat the cycle with longer sinking time. Be warned that braking fluid should be discharged properly, local laws and responsibility wary from place to place.

May the 4th be with you! 

I have an Aionus 10th Anniversary model and it is definitely made of other material than regular Malifaux models. But I cannot tell exactly what it is made of. At glance it is similar to models made by FFG for their boardgames: Decent, DOOM, Gears of War etc.

And I'm confused on how to prepare it for painting. From my experience this material "doesn't like" sanding/filing. And I ever don't know how the primer would hold on it.?

Looks like Boogerman from The Night before Christmas.

Very nice work.

Nice board there! I sniped a pair of portal gates on both sides of the river. Are there any houserules to use them?

About filling the gap: Try to cover one of the sides of the gap with divider (potato starch/talc/any other powder) it will help to detach acrylic filler when it dries.

I'm Nik. I'm 22 years old student.

I live in Ukraine, former USSR.

I play wargames for about a year, thus I own only Hordes and WM made by PrivateerPress. I have a number of boardgames, wich I play with friends not involved in our hobby.

I recently was introduced to Wyrd miniaturesby a friend of mine. He said only one word: "Wyrd"! So, here I am. I have only on miniature- Sibertooth cerberus, but I'm very interested ib world of Milifaux and I'm waiting for my monthly scholarship to buy some new.

I'm not experienced painter. But I'll seek and shift my skills.

And last thing to say: I've neve tried GW stuff :ciao:
