I would say the 1e wilderness survival guide is probably still the best go-to option for that. I'm sure some 3PP has probably put out something for OSE or something, but I'm not aware off the top of my head. I know you said you haven't touched 5e, but with the 2024 rules, they did implement a...

When the 7 year old wanted to paint minis too, I had an entire box with a bunch of Bones I-V minis I knew I'd never paint and I let him have free range on those. His eyes lit way up. That alone was worth it. :) There are several like this :D

I felt the exact same way.

A ton of manual typing. PDFs of dragon magazines out there pretty much prevent any sort of cut-and-paste, or OCR reading. So I manually retyped almost everything. Each image I had to manual upscale. When all that was done, off to InDesign I went for layout. So a ton of work.

100% That was in fact, my entire point I was trying to make upthread ;) This is the airbrush I use. And it works just fine, especially for priming. But I've also used it for gradients and painting and it's fine. $20 is cheap.

This past summer in a 1e game, my fighter ended up with a 6 for intelligence. It opened the door for a lot of role play opportunities. For example, he wanted to be a knight—help the oppressed, fight with honor, etc. well, the half orc assassin had basically convinced him that he was a true...

Welp, I've always prided myself on getting rewards out within a month of the KS ending. That streak ended. In my most recent B&B 2e KS, I had an option of a boxed set. It took 3 months to manufacture them, so I planned the order before the KS even ended to make it quick. They were delivered...

I know at least bones V was still grey. That was the batch I ruined with spray primer. And yes, what I heard is that it’s the areosol propellant and not the primer itself that causes the issue. Thus, depending on how far away you held the can could cause a different result.

You know, if you're gonna block me, I'd appreciate it if at least you stop making the (incorrect assumed) digs at my motivations. I've been asking more than once to stop, and it looks like rather than take that route, you've decide to block and keep making them, just this time behind my back.

Reread those quotes. Each one of them states how not all plastics are impacted, so I’d appreciate it if you’d stop accusing me of saying it’s all plastics. “Don’t use on plastics” does not imply or infer all plastics have an issue. It’s an advice statement that I felt I’ve been clear on that...

All the FLGS stores around here had them all over. Only Nolzer were more numerous 🤷🏼‍♂️. Also, they are cheapest minis so likely to be used by new people in the hobby. I’m not trying to “scare” anyone. I’m saying a whole lot of people were disappointed with tacky minis using spray primer. It’s...

I don’t know what your hostility is coming from, but I never said it’s bad for ALL plastics. I said it’s a good idea to avoid using it on plastics. The average person, especially someone new into minis, isn’t gonna do research to look at the chemical composition of every plastic mini. Bones...

Folks have been mentioning it's the white minis that are a problem. I'm simply saying that it's the grey ones as well, not just white. "Refusing to admit?" Whoa man, this is just a casual conversation. Can you tone down the accusatory rhetoric please? I'm not refusing to admit anything...

Don't know about GW plastic (assuming hard plastic sprues are a different kind of plastic they use for injection molding), but metal minis are never a problem with spray primer. The issue is the aerosol reacts with the plastic polymers for certain types of plastics.

I had the issue with the minis from the Bones V kickstarter, which were not white. They were dark grey. Using Krylon black primer, they all got tacky after about a month.

If it's resin, just make sure you cure and wash them first. Well, you should be washing every mini before painting, but especially true for resin 3d printed ones.

I used that on my Bones minis from the Bones V kickstarter. Maybe it was the plastic type they used, but they all came out tacky. I was quite...miffed. Thus I recommend no one use spray can primer at all, as a general rule.
