Hi all,
I have just got back into the hobby and am about to paint up my Saim Hann Eldar army. I have seen a great tutorial on Tale of Painters that I plan to follow. I just have a few questions about paint choice...
I was going to get the army painter pure red primer to basecoat/prime with in one step with and then the pure red paint to touch up missed areas with. Would it be better to get the GW white primer and mephiston red spray instead? Are the reds similar colours? I plan on using primarily GW colours as I can walk down the road and get them from the local hobby store but using one primer sounds ideal (though I would need white too to prime the heads of some models).
Also, could you point me towards a good matt varnish and a good gloss varnish? I have heard stories about some being misty/not fully transparent.
Cheers,
Wayne
