Hello! I have met some nice people at Wanderer's Refuge and Dice Dojo, but I am relatively new, with an emphasis on relative. I'm getting back into 40K after a few years and editions off. I'm pretty sure the last time I played a game, Necrons phased out after 75% casualties and the only chapter that could take a Crusader were Black Templars. And Warp Spiders were these really bulky out dated pewter models from like 1994...
Apologies if it's against the rules, but since I have to go outside of the city to purchase anyway, I figure all bets are off.
Any personal recommendations for spray paint primers? Home Depot, Lowe's, specific brands? Factoring in quality, preservation of details, cost and availability? Most specifically, I think I'll be priming with a black color.
Thanks in advance, looking forward to getting an army up and painted and playing again

I typically use Rustoleum matte primer, its pretty cheap and widely available at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc. Alternatively you can order spray paint online (amazon prime) and it will still be delivered within the city limits - you just can't *purchase* it within the city limits.

AIleen will also spray anything you want provided you bought it there. She has all the GW stuff. Most of us use airbrush primers these days, but I was always a fan of Army Painter brands.
Also, those Warp Spiders are still the exact same models.

Thank you for the help. Yes, the Warp Spiders bit was thinly veiled (read: bad) joke... Maybe they're just holding off for when they release their phoenix lord....in another 10 years.

Hey D666 (can I call you dix-ix-ix?), welcome back to the hobby, and it's wonderful that you stubled across our Chicagoland wargaming group.
GW sells more spray colors then ever, so check out their options. And FYI, hand base-coating your models by brush is always an option. That's what I do to save time/money, and my stuff looks great!

Just slop those base and layer colors straight onto the plastic, I swear by it.

I stand by my opinion, spray paint takes too long to dry!

No way man! You literally spray 15-20 models at a time, wait 10 minutes, spin them 180, spray again, wait 10 mins, bingo. 15-20 models, primed and ready, in about a half hour. And its so damned smooth!
You're killin me smalls!
