Warhammer Fantasy Revisited
Orctober Day 2
Relax everyone – I promise these won’t be daily updates for the next month 😉
Thought it might be useful to track the time I actually spend (regardless of how efficient that time might have been) with regard to this project, to see how long an army actually takes me to get from assembled and primed to ‘tabletop ready’. Today’s efforts were a zenithal airbrushing of the GW Zandri Dust primed minis with a Coat of Desert Yellow Stynylrez primer, followed by a lighter zenithal highlight in white primer.

And the black orcs who were previously primed in AP Plate Mail git hit with a coat of Vallejo Black Ink through the airbrush to sort their armour out.
Project time so far – 80 minutes.

Short version is about 20 PSI and a couple of thin coats with either straight ink or mixed down with a very small amount of flow improver (maybe a 10:1 ratio if you can get away with it?) if you are getting issues with clogging. One thing I would suggest is if you are going to spray inks over a metallic undercoat might be worth hitting them with a spray varnish before continuing to… Read more »
