        Currently, fantasy. I just love the gloomspite gitz, such fun models. Leviathan looks pretty interesting, thought. But I will probably wait for a new subscription thingy from hachette, it takes time but the saving are awesome.

      I have finished assembling my plastic, but haven’t started painting yet. I’m new to the hobby.

        Two things that really upgradet my painting:

        • a diy wet pallete
        • a decent brush (I like the Windsor & Newton Series 7, size 1

        Otherwise, don’t sweat it, you can always strip the paint if you don’t like it. Plus, try other colors than citadel. They are good, but the pricing is crazy.

          You can strip them? I thought plastic minis couldn’t be stripped.

            Fairly easy. Drop them in isopropanol and let them sit for a few hours. Take the minis out, use a toothbrush to carefully scrub away the paint.

              Is that the same thing as isopropyl alcohol?

        AoS, mostly, but the Votan look interesting. Still, love my gitz. Regarding paints, I really like the Intense series from AK, great paints for a good price. But my racks also collect citadel (contrast is fun!), Army painter (so-so, imho), Valljeo (also OK) and, newest, Two Thin Coates (expensive stuff). But if I activley buying, it’s mostly AK.

          Yeh, we have a set of Vallejo paints to paint our Kingdom Death: Monster minis someday. Seems like it should be at least good enough for an amateur paint job
