Emperor's Furor Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Should I base coat it with a black spray or white spray from GW first and then apply the Army painter spray? I'm planning on doing Red Wolves who are entirely red and was thinking of spraying them black first followed by the red.

MagicMan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Im no expert, on this particular method, but unless you're aiming to get shadows (black first, red from an angle to leave black in the recesses/underparts) the red should cover well enough on its own.Test it out on a few pieces of sprue to see what you think. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309639-when-using-army-painter-spray/#findComment-4093617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastelAvenger Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You can use it without basing the model but becareful I've had two separate colours come out so thick it blocked out all detail.

Grand Master Belial Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 If you want a bright red like the Blood Angels then use a white undercoat. If you prefer a darker red like a Berserker of Khorne then use a black undercoat.

GhostLegion Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 ive used the army painter sprays both with a standard black/white/grey primer coat and on its own. while i cannot say i have seen a particular difference between the two processes, i can say they generally came out to the same result. also, if you havent noticed on working with the army painter sprays, becareful on proximity and saturation when using them. sure this goes for all sprays, but ive noticed the thickness of the army painter versions can result in losing some of the very fine detail areas. again, this may have to do more with my inattentiveness at the time, but from what i know, im not the only one whos encountered this. so....

Crimson Devil Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Should I base coat it with a black spray or white spray from GW first and then apply the Army painter spray? I'm planning on doing Red Wolves who are entirely red and was thinking of spraying them black first followed by the red. That is the method I used and it worked fine. Be careful with the Army Painter sprays. I would recommend doing an uneven coat of red. I sprayed the paint mainly from the source of light. With a little for the shadow side. When you apply an even coat the paint has an enamel finish. So any paint applied over it doesn't adhere well. I could scratch it of pretty easily.

Kaedes Nex Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 You can use it without basing the model but becareful I've had two separate colours come out so thick it blocked out all detail. That's completely user error. Army Painter does have a higher PSI and sprays more quickly and thicker than other spraypaints, but if you are clogging detail then you are being too heavy-handed with it.
