I know that you should spray paint your minis before you actually paint them and black and white colors too. But then why do you do that. This is partly for me and partly for a silenced warrior article.

Spray painting is to quickly prime undercoat your models. It gives a better surface finish than prime undercoating your models by hand. Hope this helps a little more, if not just ask

It does make the models look better. If you come round some time I'll show you

I know it works better than just normal painting on, but why do you do it? I thought it was so that once you started painting, it didn't run down the mini and so that the paints stayed there.

Priming/spraying is mainly so that the plastic/metal does not show through the finished result of the model. White primes are for the models that you would like to turn out brighter and the black primes are for the darker ones like Uruks etc. They once did an orc in WD that they primed brown , but that takes skill...

Thanks, I'll just take this and change it around a bit on SW.
