You're doing it wrong.

Thank you, that's very helpful.

As above, you are almost certainly using the wrong primer. Automotive primer is what you need.

Vipoid- Yeah, as somewhat snide as the above comments may have been, it's true. I swear by Halford's satin black primer. Works a treat and have very rarely had chips on minis.

Anything eldar, or sisters of battle, or tau.

All other armies are fair game. I wont buy actual forgeworld either... dudes are crazy overpriced. I will buy the books to convert the models, though.

I won't say never on these, I'd say unlikely to get.

For my existing armies:
Space Marines: Centurions except for making a Kitbash Centurion Rogal Dorn from TTS

Guard: probably some of the regimental officers

Thousand Sons: Tzaangors and that tower thing.

As far as new armies, I'm unlikely to get Dark Eldar, anything Slaneesh or Nurgle, Tyranids, or Harlequins.

Also unlikely to get anything Forgeworld other than infantry units.

I said I would never buy the 3rd edition and later version of the Wave Serpent. I hate the 'horseshoe' design. I much prefer Jes Goodwins's 'Iron' design. I own 6 of the resin Wave Serpents.

Unfortunately I purchased 2 of the 'horseshoe' falcons and waveserpents so that I can play in tournaments.

I will never spend $35 on a cryptek or any other model of that size.
