Just waiting for my sons first order of the ultimate starter set to arrive. So far he's tried the standard white primer and base/layer painting at the local hobby shop. He will probably try slapchop as well as white primer and speed paints. Although right now, not sure which we will end up with. Which is best in your opinion to get tabletop ready for a beginner ultramarines army?
Thats awesome! In terms of tabletop ready, the standard base, layer, wash, highlight approach is solid and teaches the fundamentals. For speed however, slapchop is better 😊
Would not recommend sable brushes as first brushes. Synthetic for example water color brushes are fine and good practice to learn good brush control before getting more expensive ones.
Some companies like Army Painter for instance do some cheap but good quality sable brushes. Especially in their box sets with paints as well. But I absolutely agree to not jump into something like a Windsor and Newton brush straight away!
