Yeah I intend to buy a box of cheap minis on Amazon to test and practice with before moving on to my actual minis.

Does slap chop work for almost completely white minis like stormtroopers? Or even necessary for all black minis like death troopers?

I’ve been watching some of those videos, but I’m not really sure if slap chop works for mostly white like stormtroopers and clone troopers? It also doesn’t seem like it would be helpful for death troopers or imperial special forces.

Maybe I will just buy the black quickwash only. Thanks for the input.

So here’s the conundrum I seem to run across in hobby stuff. On one hand, you don’t want to spend ludicrous amounts of money on high end equipment off the bat because you may not keep up with the hobby. However, if you buy really crappy tools then your end product could end up trash no matter how good you might be, and then you might just give up. Do you have recommendations for any specific middle of the road brushes? What about the AP hobby starter brush set?

LA?

Really? Can they be safely stripped even after applying varnish?

All great advice, thanks

Would you say that overall it’s better to use white or grey for speedpaints in your experience?

You think straight white is a better choice than light grey?

Planning on using Army Painter’s speedpaint 2.0.

I just read that they recommend their white or light grey primers.

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably pick up an AP starter box soon.

How is the quality of Army Painter over Citadel? I’m in the same boat as OP and just starting out learning to paint. I know it’s more expensive, but I’m leaning towards getting one of the Citadel starter packs. I’m also thinking a handle would be really nice, but I’m unsure.
