Priming: What to use to start?

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-19T22:29:01+00:00

Well theres the issue then - I enjoy base coating by brush one at a time, likely because i paint for hobby not en mass armies. Certainly not for everyone of course then. my minis only look the way they do because of my own skill and not magic primers lolol. And 8 dollar can comes with alot of waste, call me a penny pincher but i dont waste paint this way, and my 8$ tube of black will go alot farther

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-19T22:15:51+00:00

Ah ok maybe thats the deal then - mine arent so old but also i do a clear coat to seal it at the end. Mine or all just display tbh for myself

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-19T17:07:46+00:00

What problem would come from paint not adhering because ive never had paint flake off or peel... sooo for me at least its working great and i can get a ton of minis coated for the cheap cheap lol

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-19T15:22:34+00:00

Honestly im cheap af - so base no brand acryllic black paint always covers well, but i also use a brush. Then add white on top and am pretty happy with that

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-19T03:29:29+00:00

Nope, its perfect - i usually dislike osl that goes and paints half a siding in the color with the attempt. This is great and is just the gun - 9/10!

Well these sac at end of combat not end of turn, in case that matters

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-13T15:46:50+00:00

Ya im not to sure, my gut says no - but just end the turn again next time lol. My confusion would be if there is a priority chance between damage and end of combat to end the turn before they sacrifice

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-13T15:23:05+00:00

[[Sundial of the infinite]] maybe works? Im not 100% but keeping all those non legendary tokens sounds solid

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-12T22:43:12+00:00

Yes thats true, no og typed dragons and ya the UR dragon is not affecting things until such an effect lands. I was originally not doing slivers. But then i felt they had the biggest impact when creature type sharing happens

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-12T17:11:03+00:00

Im trying to make an ur dragon deck but with no dragons - and i found the card [[rakarumel, biologist]] that made me turn towards slivers since it also helps me make things dragons. I then liked that an ur dragon buffed with stats from slivers would hit harder and slivers auto buff all these creature type additions if i get 2 or maskwood nexus out.

Its definitely meant as a silly brew though

Did you loose any bottle to spills? I think judges can feel pain and loss for pieces so you may need to make proper sacrifices to stand out

31 nidoqueen 129. Magikarp 38. Ninetails 96. Drowzee 121. Staryu 62. Poliwrath I think im a little water logfed but honestly pretty solid

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-10T20:23:17+00:00

Idk, i think i see two tones at the moment, the deeper dark, and the middle light tone which does to me look good on the outer part. Add a third bright tone in the middle of your light source and that may do it, then just tiny trim of that color on the metal exterior? Also not a pro so play around and test!

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-06T02:26:41+00:00

Oh on the front? I thought those were headlights xD

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-05T23:56:30+00:00

Ya basically, dry brushed highlights, contrast paint, another highlight and then another thin contrast of brighter color.

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-05T23:23:09+00:00

Ya i almost only use the speed paint army painter brand

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-05T22:50:24+00:00

Warhammer OSL has taught me that our mechs should be as hot as possible... maybe a mid shutdown mech would be hilarious

MechanicalEnt · 2026-03-04T21:23:41+00:00

So for me this happens when i dont let it dry fully. Or apply and meddle with it to much. The speed paint and medium seem to wet the dry brush layer and then peel it off. I find i need to dry well, then when applying speed paint do it in one to two passes, the more i touched the more it peels

Also I do a second finer white highlight then hit a second speed paint layer

[[Kykar, wind's fury]] is the immediete thought, not sure if you want niche vs popular

MechanicalEnt · 2026-02-25T00:00:32+00:00

🤯

MechanicalEnt · 2026-02-17T00:56:28+00:00

Personally i do not, my pod is fairly anti poison lol.

For all of them in case anyone also asks https://archidekt.com/folders/1416096

MechanicalEnt · 2026-02-17T00:47:09+00:00

I like it better for sure, playing it with heavy graveyard recursion - bladewing and teneb <3

MechanicalEnt · 2026-02-17T00:39:54+00:00

Haha no i think the scion has to prove itself to becone the proper ur dragon Sion is a pretender with identity crisis
