What started as a few reaper mini paints has turned into a hefty number of mostly printed heroscape paints. I just counted all the painted figs I have and whatever I can remember commissioning, but will be bypassing certain minis that used only 1 color or sloppy pla paint jobs. Going from being a “artist” to painting minis, I’ve always used acrylic liquitex basics paints mostly. These are difficult to paint minis with since it drys quicker and can create a blobby brush, but I’ve gotten used to it and have had great results when careful/quick. The bigger downside of using them has got to be making your own wash watering down the paint, and it usually isn’t the most professional look. I only just got real army painters washes today! -_-
I removed 30 from my count that were from earlier stages of learning and were very flat or plain. There are a few that I will have to use a real wash on now. Also, I wouldn’t really rate them all equal since some were far less complicated than others.
Counts:
524 Classic & C3V prints
63 Customs and repaints
111 Customs from my Rat customs project mostly, with 50 more soon to be paint.
I just got the AotP sets too, so that’s another bunch I will have to get to.
