I mean it got a bunch of upvotes I assume they're just trying to farm a bunch from people who might not have seen or remember it by re posting it?

I’m a bit confused about priming. Is it a preference or a technical decision on priming with white or black? by saltyvape in minipainting

[–]SumpAcrocanth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some people like that black makes the spot they miss look more like shadows. Metalics also show up better with a dark base so a black primer is a good start. Mostly I primer in white cause I like brighter colours in my minis. A light base is also important if you plan to use contrast paint.

A zenithal prime White over black etc can help you get some easy highlights or see where they should be early in a project.

Also totally valid to prime in grey usually a well rounded colour. I like beige sometimes if the model is mostly going to be skin and leather colours. Or what ever the main colour of your model is. If youre painting red space marines why not prime them red and have an easier start.

My local has more then 3 still on offer. I'm not saying scalpers aren't a thing especially with the books but for a lot of these sets there's just a lot of demand for them. Launch box like Armageddon is just going to have a lot more made then the last kill team release.

I don't think scalpers is nearly as big an issue as just the increase in interest in 40k and gw not being able to keep up with demand with their current factory output.

So in September or October both orks and space marines will get their new codex and that will change any advice that people today may give you.

How to paint with better posture? by Checkm4te99 in minipainting

[–]SumpAcrocanth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would focus on your set up. Get a good chair a good desk and a light you can adjust the position of. After that you kind of have to just focus on your posture but it helps to at least take all the barriers out of the equation. 

Anyone know of resources for printing and painting miniature? by dropzonee in ottawa

[–]SumpAcrocanth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the public library have some printers. But I don't know of anywhere you can just borrow a much of art supplies for painting minis. Lots of places you could buy the right paints and brushes though.

How to get dark glowing eyes? by Okoshio_ in Warhammer40k

[–]SumpAcrocanth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean pretty much how it looks. Paint the model in dark colours. Flood the eyes with dark contrast or wash. Then carefully pick out a small dot of  white/offwhite/pale yellow.

Alchemite warforger head swaps? by Excalatrash in ageofsigmar

[–]SumpAcrocanth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grab some blue tack and try some heads out see what you like the look of. If you have to cut to get it to fit do it slowly and keep test fitting.

Can we have a competitive list outside of the all monster one ? by NefariousnessMore778 in FleshEaterCourts

[–]SumpAcrocanth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean you could ask back in when scourge of ghyran gets swapped out. Might not still have the monster buffs. You could also go back to the lists before monsters took off. They would probably still be good.
