[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8750022, member: 11"] While I've played D&D since '83, and used minis since about '97, I didn't start painting them until 2020 - and in that time I have painted over 200 minis (probably over 300, but I only started counting this year). I use cheap brushes. I have tried more expensive ones, but maybe I am just bad at taking care of them or using them right, but they don't seem to last any longer or do any better a job for me. As for paints, I use all kinds. I don't really care. I am decent at getting these minis table ready and some of them do look pretty good - but I don't worry about it too much. I prime everything black (even minis that are supposedly "pre-primed") that way if I miss the hard to reach spots it just looks like shadows. Oh and someone else on here once recommended that I use a thinned out pink as an undercoat when painting yellow or white - colors that tend to have poor coverage. I don't know why, but it works!
