Howdy. I have taken a long break from painting, somewhere around 8 months and I am finally ready to get back into it. I dug up some of my old minis and White Dwarf mags and go really interested in painting again.
I would paint a lot for commision never hammering out anything but nicly painted armies for people. I posted a few things early on in here but since I\'ve painted 6-8 large armies then I took a break. I always enjoyed painting for myself and fun. I would give away/sell the minis after I was done. I enjoyed the whole challenge of painting spending hours on one figure. Then I came to a point of being burned out from painting armies for cash. Speed painting was my talent and I loved the thrill and rush putting a large 2k point army together and painting it in a weekend to high standards.
Anyways I am back, and ready to paint, not armies but single figures for fun and to give away/sell afterwards. Videogame have no apeal to me and I am back into the fun and thrill of painting and trying new things.
Enough about me, here is what I can do. I was able to do everything but wetblend well, and Non Metal Method I could never get. Everything else I was good at, never amazing just good.
I checked my paints and stuff and since they were all GW they dried up, go figure. So I am starting from scratch. I never like too many paints. 2 of a color because I would mix a lot. Any suggestions on paints I should get? GW? Vajello?
Besides that any other stuff you guys can recommend for getting back into painting of a high quality? I was mainly looking at picking this all up from the GW store / hobby stores near Toronto Ontario Canada but I am willing to order stuff online if certain things are better.
One last thing, I am looking at a bottle of floor wax that was with my paints, I remember it was for something. Its the magic floor wax or whatever it is called, looks like clear watered acrylic based.
