@blinky465  I’m glad you have a style that works for you both in terms of final look and overall output.  I’ve settled on a very similar approach myself and am very happy with the volume of miniatures I can get done and onto the table.

Year Zero – Like blinky I’m a big fan of AP Speedpaints and did buy the big box when the 2.0 version came out and I didn’t regret it.  I’ve not used every single one yet but I’ve had a go with most of them.  If I were starting from nothing they would be top of the list but I’d still get a full range of standard acrylics – probably the Foundry range as it is already in the tri-part colour sets.  I might supplement with the AP Fanatic range as well for some of the brighter fantasy colours.  For metallics it has to be Darkstar Molten Metals – they are superb.  I’ve tried all sorts of metallics and these are the best I’ve found.  Also – Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes ftw.

Pledge update:  I’m still plugging away at the latest Draugr and the July PaintComp entry but got distracted adding tattoos to these Slaine Gaesetae (NSFW obvs.):

These guys are all Speedpaints, with some LMBS shield transfers.
