Hey people, I just got my first batch of CSM in, not a good bit but it will help. I want to get started painting but I didn't want to do it without someone giving me a crash course on painting so to say, I know our next meet-up is like, a while from now. But if anyone is down to just chill and help me figure out how to go about doing this, I would be very grateful...
ALSO!
Decent, who is down. Gimi a day, and a time, and names, and let's frigging do this.

Hey Bud,
Ziggy is selling his chaos stuff, so you may want to take a look at it to bulk out your forces. I usually bring my painting stuff with me on game days, so if you have any questions I can go over some stuff at that time. Check with Chagear and Roy, those two are always painting.
Some basic tips:
Always water down your paints, never paint striaght from the pot. It produces shoddy results usually making your mini's paint look glooped or thick. I usually take a drop of water and mix the paint from my brush in with it. You can use other things like a painting medium, but I usually only do that if I'm mixing paint colors.
Never fully immerse your paint brush in the paint pot. Try to keep just the tip or halfway up the brush with paint on it. If you don't paint will get into the base of the brush and your brush tips will start to separate.
Clean your brush often, like once every three minutes or so. this will keep the paint from drying in your brush and destroying it.
Don't use old paint. If it's too thick to drip out of the pot, it's too old to use. This is why I never recommend buying mega paint sets or other huge paint packs. You never end up using the colors.
Use good paint. I'd recommend the following companies: Vallejo, Citadel, and P3 ranges. Andrea Miniatures also has a great line as well as Reaper. I haven't used those two, but they both look to have some really great colors in them.

Call me or Wraith and we will most likely be wiling to paint.
