Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch

I just wanted to post a quick hobby post about the spray paints and primers I have been using lately for all of my armies. I had been having trouble in the ever-changing Michigan climate with different primers I have tried "fuzzing" and ruining models. Even worse, I've had some finish coats fuzz and ruin already detailed and painted models... so I began to look for alternatives to GW, Armory, and other hobby primers.

Primer: My Brand of Choice and Rules of the Road!

Old School here with a post on primer. I know primer is part of the hobbyist "Holy Trinity" of Glue, Primer and Varnish - those things for which each hobbyist has their own brand they swear by, no matter how well/terrible it works for others - but I am here to talk about my personal favorite primer; Valspar. Why this and not one of the Hobby brands? Good question, let's talk about it.

Priming your army: What paint should you use?

For us hobbyists who enjoy both the game and the hobby of 40k one of the most important steps in the entire process of building your army is the paint in which you prime your stuff. Everyone has their own thoughts on what is best for them, even amongst the locals who post at DFG there is much discussion on the matter, and sometimes some experimenting.

Today I will cover three different paints, two of which are popular in the hobby world and one of which was found by our own Samsquanch Monster and quickly passed to others at our FLGS.
