Oddly enough, GW makes one called Caliban Green

Oh yeah, I have to mix it with thinner, I have looked everywhere for an airbrush green prime but I'm SOL on that.

Thinking of asking my wife for a new compressor for christmas, my Master one is a bit wonky (got it real cheap for Prime Day). What compressors are you all using - and if you'd recommend it, do you have links so I can check them out?

I use this one. It doesn't have a tank so it'll be running the entire time you're airbrushing. I like the size because it's easy to hide away. I recommend getting a water trap to put inline, I've had condensed water shoot through the brush more times than I can count.

Nice thanks guys! My current one also doesn't have a tank, so I'm used to that - though the bit about condensed water has me a bit concerned, I'd probably want to look into a water trap for that. Thanks!

I think the water is more a function of where I paint, not of the brush or compressor.

I use this one: www.amazon.com/Badger-Air-Brush-Co-TC910-Compressor/dp/B005UH7CVI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1513217823&sr=8-1&keywords=compressor+badgerThough I don't recall it being so expensive. Maybe I've just diluted that part of my memory--the part that keeps an accurate sum of my spent hobby money. It does have a built-in water trap, and from everything I've read the tank is pretty clutch for maintaining consistent psi, but my previous sources of compressed air were a can then the built-in air supply from my lab's chemical hood, so I can't make any reasonable comparison. It is quite heavy, and decently loud when it's filling up, but otherwise she's a workhorse. The handle has been surprisingly useful. Just make sure you get the right hose for it, I recall having to get an adapter for my Iwata brush to talk with this puppy.

If anyone is looking for an airbrush, look up the Badger Air-Brush Company Facebook page. They're doing a 54th birthday deal for any airbrush direct from factory for $54+shipping. They have instructions on their Facebook post (must have Paypal, email instructions to order). www.facebook.com/BadgerAir/I have a Patriot 105 from them and it's great for any basecoat/priming needs. $54 is pretty crazy given that some of their airbrushes are more than twice that. Just thought I'd pass that along.

Thats a great deal, I got my patriot 105 for like $110 I feel like, so $54 is a phenomenal deal

So iv been having air brush issues. when I mix paint in the cup Xereus Purple I can never get it to spray good, and it does it stops after a little bit ( I'm not mixing whole cups just little at a time). i feel like its drying in the tip or something that's stopping the flow of air.

I strongly recommend using vallejo game air or model air paints rather than trying to work with GW paints. Vellejo's line is top notch, and the Dojo sells them. *edit* Vallejo also has a lot of analogues for GW colors so you don't mess up your paint scheme.
