So here are the basics before I even start to paint/sculpt.
That's Green Stuff, Brown Stuff, Sculpting tools and 2 Clay shapers.
Vallejo Paints (easily my number one choice and more out of shot), Liquid Green Stuff (heard only good things about it so far and really want to try it and play with layering), White Tile (essential old school painting aide), Brushes (sizes 1, 4/0 and 10/0 - there are other brushes but these will be the main ones I use)
The only other thing is a wet palette, and this is how to make one (cheap and easy!):
Step 1: Plastic tub
Step 2: Tissue paper (Kitchen roll is great)
Step 3: Wet the tissue paper, do not drown it though just make sure it has all absorbed some water
Step 4: Cut out greaseproof paper and place over the tissue paper
One wet palette completed. Make sure the container has a lid, airtight is good but if not its ok. Wet palettes will help keep the paint useable for longer and won't cause it to dry out on the tile/whatever you are using. It also helps with blending.
Now I need to get on with the first Mini, I have a Raven Guard Venerable Dreadnought (see body),the arms are both power claws like those below:
I have actually started it but will get a little more done before adding pics of it.
