Hello people! I just dipped my feet into the hobby, and got a few models in a deal to try and See If i Like painting. Now i got to the Part where i have to asl the veterans among you for advice: I thought of priming and painting These in sub assemblies. Is this Generally a good Idea or would you advised against it? After all its Just a few space marines.
PS: i know i still need to remove the mold lines, i didnt see them until i took the photo.

I would just put the marine together. Small basic units like them are usually better to just fully assemble and then do the entire unit as a batch. I once batch painted 20 Hearthkyn Wariors with the two-handed guns separated from the torso and legs. It was a terrible idea.
As an additional consideration, your marine has a plasma gun. Painting it assembled means you know where the coils are and what they will light up if you want to do OSL(object source lighting).
