Morning!

Looking to dig in to my new purple tau army and i'm wondering if i should prime with white or black?

I'd like the purple to "pop" a bit, so i'm thinking white would be best?

Pop?

White.

Deep and rich

you want black.

Edit: You can always do double primers. black base. white from the top 45 degree. to get deeper shadows and poppin highlights.

Both can work, depending on the shade of purple you like. Do you want the purple bright and shiny? Then get white. If you want dark purple, use black.

I don't think it matters. Use either, and just use paint layers of purple. Purple, especially the darker shades, covers really well, so it's not much of a problem.
