Had a play last night at thinning GW paints to go through the airbrush, the first attempt with chaos black went really well.
So i did some undercoating on a Hammerhead to get a feel for it, and then did some weathering on my devilfish which also went well.
Feeling confident, i then attempted to thin some Midnight blue to get a base layer on my Hammerhead, which is where i encountered a couple of teething issues. I hadn't thinned the paint enough(or to much?) and it spluttered the paint through. D'oh!
Generally very happy with it and the set-up i got, i can see it being my go to tool for my big stuff. I may even start using it on the smaller stuff once i get a proper feel and a smaller needle.
Looking forward to playing again tonight and hopefully my Vallejo air will be here. If not i will blame Gaz.
