Pierzak posted:Who the gently caress has time for that, pour 3 paints in, stir lightly so they don't mix entirely and chuck models into that I remember when I was an undeveloped organism, I progressed from primer+ wash -> primer+drybrush-> primer+drybrush+wash-> primer+wash+thinned paints-> primer+thinned paints+more thinned paints, but different than the first to be more washy + thinned paints for a drybrushing-like highlight. It was a continuum. Using the paint with the simplest techniques eventually lead to the lightly better techniques. I was very proud of my 'layers of thinned yellow over a nice orange for a rich and interesting color'. Also I was super impressed with my 4+ ethnicities of chaos cultists in a single integrated mob. None of it was amazing, but that's how you get better until you reach a point in life where you second guess the idea of devoting yourself to an esoteric art that essentially trades on dressing up someone else's creativity, and give up on painting miniatures altogether. Also, I had to give up because I was never able to decide on how Ahriman should be painted. Dude had too many gilded wing wongs and different materials. Horn. Metal. Space ceramic. A *book* for fucks sake. Gems. Magic things. He always looked like he comically fell into a store display of paint when I was done. Then I'd strip him again. Which I guess is what Tzeentch wanted all along. You know how he is.

I paint all my models with the same toothbrush. For larger models I sit them in front of a high powered box fan and throw paint into the fan blades

I buy prepainted "pro-painted" large army lots on eBay, soak all the models in paint thinner for a couple minutes, and then throw them into a rock tumbler with my own freshly-glued legions of unpainted skeletons and lizardmans and let it run for 20 minutes. The results are perfect in every way.

I was disheartened, thinking that they hadn't tried it, and that if they did they would enjoy it for its own game and not compare it to Fantasy. I couldn't keep quiet and said that I have made it my main game and it is good fun and enjoyable. They said they hadn't tried it and are not going to, and will stick to 40K, which is fair enough. I spoke to them about my 40K army for a while, but I'm glad there is a group like this where we can enjoy Age of Sigmar, and are willing to try the new things Games Workshop have attempted to do.
