So first, I am priming in White. In addition, after basecoat/whatever - I am painting all the little lines (and probaly the eye/visor-thingies on the models with:

It is blacklight reactive airbrush paint that I figured I could just paint on by hand. I don't want to do a ton of the model in these (like doing all the armor) but I want the lines to stand out in BL....

My issues:

1-What color do I Basecoat? do I just stick with white due to the variety of colors of line paints?
2-What color do I paint the cloth? I was thinking that I would make it dark grey/black as it seems very neutral with respect to the other colors
3-What can I do to make it still look nice but get more style/color in there?

I am ordering the paint tomorrow and I have a box that I can do testing with (will need to figure out how to paint the paint on and have it come out nice)...The one thing I do not want to do is order a ton of other paints (not that money is a problem, just don't want to waste it on paints I won't use....lol)

Any help would be wonderful...

and as always, thanks for your time..

What color is the armor going to be? Black cloth would be good regardless though.

While I think a black base coat might be best to really make them pop, I don't know how much difference it'd actually make in regard to the black light re-activity.

Also, these are easily obtainable at Michael's, at least in my area. If you like them, grab some of their coupons.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515554/5417615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515554/5417615.page GMT AM going to do is build Tau terrain pieces that have built in blacklights.

Now, the BL part is not the main thing to the army - asyou said - I won't be playing under BL all the time and still need it to look nice...hence why I was wondering what colors might work.

I am getting the paints later today - and be doing tests of the white/black cloth with the two drones I have to see how it works out...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515554/5417987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515554/5417987.page GMT
