How did you get on with the Armoury stuff? I've only ever had bad experiences with that brand. I find it very finicky with the humidity we get in the warmer months here.

I use Duplicolor Sandable Primer matt black or white which I get from the auto store, I swear by the stuff!


I've understood the sandable auto primer is a little thick and can obscure details, but, if you have good results with it, then keep using it.

I've almost always used the cheapest can of flat black I can find from Wal-Mart.

Vallejo spray-on airbrush primer is the best, though, that I've ever used.


I've heard several people say that, but I've never had an issue with it. I do light coats, starting with an 'underspray' then covering the rest of the figure. I actually find the white to be quite thin, to the point that it can sometimes look like thinned white paint that's been washed onto the figure.

I recently picked up the airbrush primer (so I could prime some Reaper Bones minis) and it is superb. I'll probably start using this on all my minis. It doesn't seem to be as fussy as aerosol cans can be.
