There are plenty of free resources to learn but when you use ai you choose to not grow. You choose laziness. At least be honest with yourself on that.

This might seem insane and is incredibly minor, but when you’re trying to quickly sort you inventory it’s really “ugh”

I have 10 Intercessors and 10 Infiltrators in the painting process. Next will be my 5 Hellblasters > Eliminators > Heroes > Titus

I think I need a Mechanicus Standard Grey for any future priming. Grey Primed minis only needed two coats, whereas the much lighter, near-white Grey Seer needed three. Better blue paint would’ve helped too though.

Once the wash dries, I’ve done a dry brush of Kraken Blue to try bring some colour back in. Left is Washed, right is after Dry brushing. It definitely looks a *little* brighter/vibrant. This will be followed up with a brighter blue dry brush with a more delicate application.

So base coating is taking WAY longer and more paint, so I’ll prob go Citadel or Two Thin Coats to replace this AP paint when it runs out.

After three coats, I give them a wash of Nuln Oil for shading:
Three coats on the left, and a washed marine on the right.

I’m using Army Painter paints, because I bought A LOT during lockdown for painting my absurd number of D&D minis.
I was warned recently the older AP paints have coverage issues though, and yeah, they do. One coat on the left, three coats on the right:
