wat is in your tau army and how many points is it. i was thinkingof collecting them. i already have chaos space marines army, 2 tyranid armys, blood angle army and imperial fists but im want 2 start a tau army can i have some advise plz
@moobiemuff correction, it must be their first army if they think they need citadels overpriced stuff to get the same quality as you cna with krylon for a primer and things like reaper paints which look nicers and cost 1/2 to 2/3 less.
I alos think that its one of the most Powerful(if not diverse)Battleforce deals out there, Kroot, nice and effective, cheap, good counter attacks, and expendable, a Battlesuit which can be treated as a HQ Shas O/Shas El, yum...Fire Warriors, nuff said, Devilfish, kickass with upgrades, Stealthsuits, better infiltrators than then other armies, no way can Scouts hold there own against 3 Stealthsuits and a Markerlight Drone.
If you bought cheap at Walmart, then you probably got Dutch Boy paint.
Buy Krylon Fusion. One of the best spray paints you can buy and a much nicer price. I use Krylon on all of my plastics and on my styrofoam RC aircraft. It has worked a lot better than GW paint in my experiences.
I bought a can of Games Workshop Chaos Black Spray Primer and it was awful. While it did spray really well I sprayed 15 Kroot Carnivores, 20 Ork Boyz, 5 Nobz, a Warboss, and 3 Deffkoptas and it's already empty. That is only 450 points worth of Orks and 15 Kroot!
lol i doubt it i did 2 of my armies with 1 can 1200 points of chaos to complete my chaos and 1000 points of blood angels so how heavy did you spray em?
lol i bought probably $400 worth of other armies before i found my dream team, the tau. my only regret is that i wished i would have started with them first :(
Testers Flat black spray enamel is a good primer if you ever need to do black again. I havnt found a good white primer to replace the GW stuff yet either.
i think the dude on line used bleached bone with a mix of bone and skull white for hilights along with regular skull white. looks as though he gave it a wash of devlan mud and streaks of Terricota for the rust
i use Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch primer for my models and they work awesome for me. never had a problem with them, and i can buy 3 for the price of one GW's spray.
Do you know this from experiance? I'm just asking because I was told that GW uses a chemical in their plastics that is hydrophobic and is made to bond to a chemical in their paints.
Krylon makes a spray paint for plastic, thats probably your best bet since it can be used on such a wide variety of plastics. But go to a hardware store and browse through spray paints and test it on a piece of sprue.
i used Krylon brand white primer and it wasn't runny, in fact it was grainy and i didnt like it. i wish miniwargaming carried the spray paint so it'd be at least a little cheaper
he did them with a non gw spay and they didnt turn out right, he put them in paint stripper then sprayed them white............................i think!
brakefluid works great and its reusable i have it in a giant pickle jar and for cheap primer get Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Primer works great just dont spray it to close to model and burst squirt it and it works beautiful
I also forgot to mention a long time ago i got the battle for macerage starter set and i forgot to paint the playing pieces/ terrain. the terrain is a crashed ship so i painted it space marine blue and bolt gun silver. Then i took a brush and dipped it lightly in red paint and just dabbed some on in places to look like blood stains. I cut some string and painted it gore red and put it on the terrain to look like guts. Now it looks so nice just perfect
The Brake fluid works very well. What i did was use Havoline brake fluid and put a stealth suit in and also a gun drone and after 2 and a half hours, i looked inside and 75% of all the paint was off and when i shook it gently, 80% of it shook off. i just bought the brake fluid from Chevrons for 2 bucks
The reason the paint looks terrible (belive I know) is that you should actually smooth it up with a sand paper (This obviously doesn't work with WH) so you gotta ask for a regural can of paint (so nooo primers) Or use the GW spray. In case you don't use GW spray remember to TEST IT ON A SCRAP PIECE. Remember.
Why did he have such a problem with the car primer? It will go on fine but you can't go mad with it, you have to feather it on lightly as it's a heavy paint. The games workshop stuff will be mostly activator so that it gets a thin cover.
Its better to base your models first before you primer them so that the spray paint seals the gravel or rocks or whatever you are using to the base. I used to base my models after i was done with the whole model but then the sand starts coming off and doesnt stick that well.
i will say that don't prime your models on cardboard i learned that the hard way... the models will actually stick to the cardboard a little after you've primed them.
Actually the best thing to prime them on is the box that they come in. Its slick and it even gives the models a higher platform if your going to prime hunched models like a carnifex.
primer is definatley important because yes it gives the paint a surface to stick to but if you paint models like space marines all the little crevices and details are much easier to just prime and paint around
OMG!!!!! nooo u dont base them till they r done! and if u dont know what that is its the little rocks and what not, the little terrain stuff on the base of the model.u do that when ur done paintin the model.Then u apply glue to the base with a brush er watever and dip it in the chosen basing material.
Yea it is unless you want the paint to start chipping off after a month or 2... I've painted GW models for 5 years(since i was 9) trust me I know what happens when you don't undercoat with primer or flat paint. IT WILL COME OFF not at first but after a month or so your paint will just start to chip off all over the model, I recommend that you do undercoat, but hey it's your choice.
But down here in Australia it costs even more because we have one of the highest tax/GST ratings and also shipping from the UK (i think thats where they are based) costs ALOT!
When i get my Tau empire pack (the $150 one) im going with black and dark purple.. have used that colour scheme for all my mechs since i was a baby playing front mission and stuff ^__^
this might be just a story but, i heard that any "ultra-flat" spray paints work... perhaps someone could try it, PM me (or just tell everyone)back the results? thanks, maybe this'll help
Mat Black (multi purpose indoor/outdoor fast drying)
Blue Can with flat black lid. Never had a problem. you can PM me for pictures of models i've painted using PAINTER'S TOUCH. I also have pictures of Warpstone entries done with the same spray including one 1st place, a second place and 2 third places.
