Ok change of plans. Kind of.
I did fill the holes on the trees so they are ready for..... wait for it.... Prime Time.
But I also got too angry about my big backlog, so I opened my Deathrattle Barrow Lords box and took a look on the Skeleton Guard sprues. I will prime those in the sprue so I can finally start with them.
I also assembled the Black Knights from that kit (except arms that is) and will prime them as well, probably today.
So my play for today:
- prime two citadel woods
- prime five black knights
- prime 10 Skeletons
- prime the Skeleton Guard in sprue
The problem is: Winter is coming here in Germany and it is damn cold out there. I have a barn which is where I normally spray my models, but the barn doors stop neither cold nor humidity and I am a bit concerned about using a rattle can at 5°C outside....
I will do some test spraying before to check if it works. Last year I spray primed some models when it was actually freezing outside and they turned out well. So hoping for the best.
....which reminds me that I should finally try using an airbrush for priming....
so @airbrush folks: Which airbrush primers do you use? Or do you just use regular colors for priming (like I sometimes do when I prime small parts using a regular brush)?
I normally use four different primers for different purposes:
- Army Painter white (I just like how well you can paint bright colors over white primer)
- Army Painter blue (for Saurus and Skinks)
- Army Painter black (not that often anymore, I prefer white. But for models with mainly dark colors it works nicely and it is more forgiving than white if you make some small mistakes with the base coats)
- Army Painter Skeleton Bone (for Skeletons because it saves a lot of time, but it also works for almost everything else. Bright colors painted over it are almost as good as over white primer.)
EDIT: Btw if I had to choose just one of the above it would be white.
So @airbrush folks: Can y'all recommend me colors to substitute the above rattle cans?
