I have never Airbrushed Anything, and after watching Les from Awesome Paintjob.com on Youtube, I want to pick on up it. Should I buy the GW aribrush? Or should I find somthing Else. I don't want to buy a $100.00 Airbrush that I won't use that offten, Just somthing small. Thoughts?

The GW "airbrush" is actually more of an "airgun/spray gun". It won't do what Les manages to do with his Infinity airbrush, as it cannot spray in a small enough cone.

It can be used to do mass basecoating for your miniatures and vehicles, it does cut out a lot of time you would have spent using a brush to basecoat things, but you won't be able to apply the highlights and do the blending Les does.

It blows to be completely honest. My buddy got it for his Thousand Sons, it doesn't have the same affect as their primer, so where the primer is more powdery and coats on clean and thin, the airgun makes the models some what gunky, if it will even work for you at all. Took him an hour and a half just to get paint to come out of a brand new gun. The guys down at the local GW couldn't easily get it to work either.

GW doesn't make an "airbrush", it's just a paint-sprayer. It's for base coat and not much else, which is fine. Though at $8.25 a pop for a can of propellant you might not want to use it that often. Les uses an Iwata airbrush.

If you want to spray color just get acrylic color spray cans.

I was talking about the paint sprayer, didn't work real well

IMO (so I won't get sued) - CRAP.
Get a real one for not much more $£.
Double action, gravity fed is best but syphon fed is alright for a try.

So any spicific Brands, Models?

badger is good and can be got for cheap in the states.

well they take alot of practice to get really good at, so you might wanna start with a good one first... iv headr GW's are complete eldar... sorry, meant to say usless crap!
