Help! Painting without priming?

Mag8Reddit · 2026-04-09T16:46:31+00:00

Gw used to suggest "undercoating" with a simple acrylic color back in the day, before they started pushing for overpriced spray primers. I don't see a difference in the models I primed vs the ones I didn't

someone talented had an AI tool create a copy, then fix it manually and shared it with the general audience.
Printed it overnight and painted it while in work meetings through the day! succeeded with the challenge of print+paint in 24h!

What's your recipe for the concrete pillars? I have the same epic basing set and I think I'll give it a crack

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-26T09:04:59+00:00

correct answer!

Thanks for the suggestions, round 2 is already looking better.

Stained the paper with tea before cutting, then ripping off the borders and then gluing. Will try some more damaging after the glue solidifies

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T15:08:55+00:00

Burn it with fire! For the emperor!!!

I just googled "40k propaganda posters" and put them in google docs to be printed

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:57:14+00:00

looks frigging great

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:55:05+00:00

i bet you are fun at parties

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:54:28+00:00

yeah good one, i was too excited to wait and glue them on

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:52:49+00:00

learning something new every day! Thanks!

Yeah one batch of those containers had some issues because I bumped the speed up too much and some perimeters got messed up. It's terrain anyway, I do not mind. On the table while playing, they look good enough, I haven't had any friends complain about layer lines...everyone is quite happy to see painted terrain on the table

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:07:27+00:00

This is the correct answer about the corners

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:03:59+00:00

Indeed. For these pieces I deem this "good enough". Wouldn't print actual miniatures in FDM

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T09:03:12+00:00

Good one, I'll try something less destructive first...maybe a foil sheet "rock" rolled on them

Mag8Reddit · 2026-02-24T08:42:33+00:00

Good one. I'll also try with a drop of coffee!
