[QUOTE=the_killer24;30813854]Or save dosh and get the exact same thing but cheaper in Krylon primer[/QUOTE] Can you give me a link to where I can buy it?
[QUOTE=27X;30814050]Plenty of ways. You have to have the right gear. Orks and Nids were by far the fastest, as both did bonus damage to structures and apparently [sp]Kyras[/sp] is a building. Bout 10-15 minutes for each on Ret's version of Primarch.[/QUOTE] He has hero armor, and a very high value of it. He takes bonus damage from things that damage buildings because of his high armor value, not because he counts as a building.
i know this is a foreign concept but stand up walk/drive/take a bus/ride a bike/i dunno to a local hobby lobby, walmart, or similar supplies store look in the spraypaint aisle buy it
Have any of you ever wondered why the Grey Knights weren't put into DOW2? I mean, there are daemons, why can't there be effective counters against them?

don't discard any wargear, pick all the wargear reward options
[QUOTE=SFArial;30814426]I never thought that people actually use primers. I like doing it the hard way, with a brush![/QUOTE] ye man i just prime my models and leave em black you know?

Personally I use a Grey Primer (Specifically Army Painter Grey, that shit is so fine, literally and figuratively.) It's good because unlike white/black, it leaves all the details pretty clear/easy to see when primed and on top of that gives your colour balanced rather than the stark variation you get with white/black primers.

Dear god diomedes makes the space marine campaign near impossible to play in retribution.
The Army Painter Spray is so incredibly fine, with plastic, the only way you can even tell is that they're a slightly different shade of grey than the plastic. White primer tends to lead to brighter (although in a pale way) pastel like colours, wheras Black primer leaves them sort of bolder. grey neutralises that and helps see the details clearly on a model, which is great for models that have lots of different details that need to be different colours. Also, methylated spirits (dunno what it#'d be called in the US, though Rubbing Alcohol is close, I think) works great for stripping any kind of model.

Now I just need to find a supplier in the States. And I find Simple Green works great for stripping, it ruins superglue though.

Any Grey would do, but AP stuff is so fine in its spray, way finer than anything most other places sell.

[url]http://www.thearmypainter.com/partners.php?country=us[/url] Worse case, I suppose you could phone them up and order by phone or site if they have one.
I'm actually heading to my LGS in a bit, so I might ask if they will start carrying their stuff.
Best part is, if you really want, you can get a colour of your basecoat (or fairly close) leaving you to just do the details, wash and highlight (actually why i started using grey, for my Space Wolves) Also, cleaning flash off Finecast models is a pain in the rear.

I mean, me and Hoboharry managed to beat the shit out of every mission without a scratch even! Maybe its not hard cause they changed the name. Primarch difficulty was best difficulty, specially the insane item drop. Dawns of Items
