Painters in Anthony, KS

Welcome back to the hobby buddy. Not sure about the figures but these guys have some fantastic tutorials https://m.youtube.com/user/paintingbuddha

Paint brands don't matter that much imo. I own old and new Gw paints, but also army painter, vallejo and some others. My advice is to keep what you own, and expand into other ranges when you need a colour that doesn't quite work in the one you use. It's what I do, and I've never had trouble. Half the time the paint isn't the problem, it's the quality of brushes used and lack of care. So I suggest also investing in some good brushes, brush soap, and a brush sponge for cleaning them with.

Crushed Glass my friend! It's the way of the future! http://www.sceneryworkshop.nl/crushed-glass-crystal-clear-powder-50 gr-sw-cgcrp.html

Halfords Grey Primer. The puppies... Ahem

Halfords Plastic Grey Primer is awesome, however I have found that the paint you put on can some times rub off when handled a lot. The same was true of GW Skull White years ago but once you varnish them it's all good:)

Halford Grey Primer is really good.

1) There are a lot of them out there. I'd suggest a few YouTube videos that focus on skin. Painting Buddha is one of my favourites right now, but there are many. Here are a few quick tips though. Use super thin layers (as usual, but as the face is a focal point of a mini, it holds especially true with faces). Don't use just flesh tones. Add in some reds and blues in very thin glazes. It will make your skin look much more alive. For more pallid tones, go heavier on the blue. 2) Simple Green concentrate is what I most often use for stripping minis. It won't hurt the plastic and should take of most of what's there.

Don't bother with Fairy Power Spray. They changed it and it's now complete rubbish. As for painting skin, take a look at Painting Buddha on YouTube.

Green Stuff is always iffy. It can react with a lot of stuff. It's much less resilient than plastic.

I model Imperial Fists. The AP Demonic Yellow works best over a white enamel primer. I use the $ .97 Walmart Enamel Primer. Not the greatest, but it's 97 cents a can, versus $17 a can for the new GW White. White primer, several thin coats of Demonic Yellow, and you're all set. The AP Wolf Grey goes on smooth, dries VERY uniformly, and your Space Wolves are 75% done.
