Has anyone used the army painter primers? I tried the barbarian flesh on some barbarians and it's quite tricky to get any decent results. Are 10mm too small for the sprays or is it in the technique when applying it?
I use them quite a bit.
But just as a base colour, I don't try using strong tone (or other shade) to shade the colours. I just highlight and wash as I would if I had painted that colour.
I quite like the darker brown (fur brown?) for cavalry.
But I do sometimes feel that the whole figures ends up rather the colour of the spray, and you have to work a bit to make sure you paint all the non-base colour stuff.
I've used a couple of different colours of the sprays, quite effective, quite long lasting. I did find it chipped off certain specific minis (DP9 Heavy Gear metal minis), but possibly I just didn't wash them enough beforehand.
No self-respecting wargamer washes, I know this from visiting shows.
They do ... before they dry brush. :P
I'm quite a fan of the coloured primer approach these days - the couple of AP i tried were good, but as my local model shop has GW ones I use them instead :D
I've used the leather brown one on 6mm and found it quite thick though others I know love using it on 6mm
I used a dark red to prime some plastic 28mm British Marlburians which worked well.
