Comically enough that's what I've been using I figured using a cheap $3 house paint was a bad idea.

I'll get some pictures tonight. Arg arg arg. The trouble is going to be stripping it, seeing as they're already based on top of cork. You're doing it wrong

Seemed to work well enough, it was glossy though, and I thought it left a really smooth surface to paint on. Then again those were Tyranids, so smooth works well with them.

White: Tamiya Fine Surface Primer (L). e: I don't have many problems with gesso (grey liquitex, only thinning done is a wet brush) outside of the fact that painting it onto a bunch of things is a pain in the rear end, and you sometimes need a second touch-up coat for full coverage.

Gesso is too time consuming, grey primer all the way.

I grabbed a can of P3 white primer considering it was half the price of the GW stuff. I quite like it, really.

brush question: What's a good type (not so much brand as style/size) of brush for basecoating? I don't think I have a good one, at least not for assault kommandos etc.

I use a round brush, size 0 for most of my basecoating. It's an Artcolor bulk-pack brush that I bought years ago. It doesn't come to a fine tip anymore, but that's what makes it useful- I have no qualms about jamming it into crevices to basecoat all the hard to reach areas. It's been my go-to brush for non-detail, non-drybrushing work for the past year (400+ models) and is still going strong. Click here for the full 1024x768 image. In general, you just want something that will give you enough of a point that you can be accurate and not hit unintended areas, will hold enough paint to let you work, and is durable enough to stand up as your workhorse brush. I have a feeling this brush won't be around too much longer, and I'm eyeing my new W&N size 1 round brush as its successor. (Thanks, Fix!  ) I'll still be using this one or something similar for crevice work, though.
