The Hobby Arsenal
🖌️ Brushes
- Basecoating: Golden Maple (the cheaper ones)
- Detailing: Golden Maple Kolinski, ProAcryl Sable
- Drybrushing: Transcon, Elf (makeup brush)
🎨 Paint Brands
I use a mix of brands depending on the finish I want:
- ProAcryl: Great coverage, smooth, great consistency (Dont Drink it!)
- Citadel: Washes, Contrast, and certain colors (Blood for the Blood God)
- Valejo: Effects (bile, vomit)
🛠️ Other Essentials
- Wet Palette: Small plactic box using 1/2 an Army painter sponge & paper I needed a smaller palette for portability
- Primer: Badger Stynylrez for most things, Vallejo (needs flow improver) used for Terrain.
Pro Tips: Less is more. If you have watch any videos or been in this hooby for a few hours you have probably heard “Thin your Paints!” or “Two Thin Coats”. This is key it is easier to ADD paint than it is to remove.
Lighter colors such as yellows, whites, beiges stress the less is more these colors will show every brush stroke and can get chalky if put on too thick.
