Pledge: Get that unit of Epic Celts done and get started on the next one.

Answer: At the risk of repeating myself, I’ve not tried any hobby specific ones. I did go through a phase of using very fine tipped permanent markers for adding lines and fine details but ultimately found brushes easier. Perhaps it is just down to practice but I find fine brush control easier than the hard tip of a pen on a 3D surface. I am looking forward to giving the Speedpaint markers a go when they come out. I’ll probably wait until I can get the fleshtone one and then just buy individual ones needed for a single force and try painting a whole army. Romans will probably be the easiest I think.
