I bought an airbrush to do my priming now.....I asically look at my colors and mess around with the color army painters they have on the GW sight....and grab a model and just get funky with it. It comes down to what you like and what your looking for. I like to be different. I never paint a standard army. I always make it a sub color banner for a chapter and so forth. Like my BA. They are traditional Blood red in color. I'm not going that way, I'm doing an all Choas black and then Red or even maybe like a firey orange look.

Try thinning out your paints too... and getting a larger brush for the bigger vehicles.

so it can be done and well with a brush?

Kaaden.

I sprayed this (can) then did highlights by brush. And lot of lining. So yes. It can be done. The highlighting is much more subtle. Thin layers is the way to go.

But truthfully if I was investing in an large Eldar army with lots of ships/armor I'd be first in line to get an airbrush.
