On a similar(ish) note, is there a primer available that suits Tau? (I'm thinking the standard 'tan' colour scheme) See attached...
Thanks!

Hi, all: I'm getting back into Epic after nearly 8 years out, and find I'm up against a problem I never expected to face:face GW doesn't make primer anymore. (Despite the suggestion of the "friendly" salesman, an undercoat of spray paint is not the same thing.) What do people here prime with? I used Armory primer through most of the 80's, and was never really happy with it. Most of the time it was OK, but mre times than I liked it left a ver rough texture. GW primer, after I paid through the nose for it once in an emergency, never gave me that problem. I took a trip to an auto parts store, but all they had was grey and clear. I don't want grey. Clear might be OK, followed by an udercoat of black or white, but I'm a little nervous about using a spray primer I can't see go on. I might find better auto primer at a bigger store, but I thought I'd ask for advice here first. Thanks for any help you can offer! -Allen McCarley |

GW still produce both white and black primer. I use the Army Painter stuff; slightly better value for money, and it comes in glorious colors. |

Like Parintachin I have switched from GW spray primers to Army Painter spray primers: slightly cheaper and gives good coverage. |

army painter black and white are a few quid cheaper than the equivalent GW sprays round my neck of the woods, coloured primers are about the same.... I'll heartily recommend the coloured primers, they are truly wonderful |

You can get black white and gray auto-primer in the bigger stores. I actually guite like painting on grey, but each to their own. |

+1 for Army Painter, although I am not a big fan of their black primer as it comes out a bit shiny. I use GW black for models that are going to stay black, but AP black is fine for anything else. |

I also use Army Painter's colored primers. I heard people use Krylon brands, but I havent had the courage to try yet. |

Personally, I've found that Krylon works great. It is a very smooth paint, and if you don't soak your models (ie spray them lightly, like you're supposed to) detail is not obscured. |
