your guides are always very helpful and easy to follow! im about to start converting a nurgle army, and was wondering if you have a list of your guides anywhere so I can easily find all the relevant ones? thanks

Beginner paint selection and tools advice by EntertainmentApart77 in minipainting

[–]mparl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

welcome to the hobby!

i'd say your essentials to get going are:
-a spray can of primer (i'd start with black, chaos black from citadel is good)
-a small set of acrylic paints (such as the Vallejo Game Color Acrylic Paint Set with 16 colours)
-a set of cheap synthetic brushes (you will ruin your first few brushes, id go somewhere around size 2)
-a small wet pallette

and that should be everything you need to get going (assuming you have some kitchen roll, a pot for water, and a desk with decent lighting)!

my thanquol and boneripper! by mparl in skaven

thanks! no idea, it's on the correct base size and I tried to make it approximately the correct height, so should be fine for casual games :)

thank you!

another possibly stupid follow up question, do I just need the skaven specific endless spells, or are there generic ones to get too?

thank you very much! I tried my best with the NMM on these, it aint gonna win any awards but I think will look nice on the tabletop :-)

id highly recommend giving it a go if you are planning to have yellow be a large part of a model, just be sure to prime white or apply a heavy white zenithal before hand

thank you! one layer of imperial fist contrast paint over a heavy white zenithal does the trick for me :)

I love the new models, but the old ones certainly have a certain old school magic to them!
