I just got my Epic Kreoss in and I guess I didn't realize that it was going to be metal. Is there any kind of significant difference between painting them? I've got some citadel paint, will that work? or am i going to have to go to my local hobby shop and buy new paint?

Citadel paint will work fantastic. Just make sure you prime it first or it will chip off when the wind blows.

I actually use Citadel paint for all my Warmahordes stuff just because I have so freaking much of it.

ok cool, I was just making sure that i didnt need some kind of specific paint because it was metal.

Thanks!

Nope same thing and make sure you wash it with some dish soap and water before priming and you'll want to seal it afterwords.

Yeah, as long as you've got a solid undercoat you're golden with any modelling paints (I too use Citadel on PP models).

Sealing them is very important after as the paint can even just flake in a case, let alone if they fall over/rub models etc.

Resin and metal probably should be washed to remove any mold release, then all materials, including plastic, should be primed before painting. I use the same primer and paint on all the minis I do, regardless of material.

I use Testors Dulcote on all my minis.

Its important to seal it after painting, plastic models do not chip as often as metal ones do, happy painting!
