I'd like to recommend the GSI Creos Mr. Procon Boy FWA (Great tittle) to others. It's a .2mm, dual action, japan made airbrush that is only 20$ more then a Neo. It's usually on sale on Amazon for 80$ (reg 95$). I have a Neo, my buddy has an Eclipse and we both agree that the Procon Boy is in between the Neo and Eclipse. Given the price I highly recommend this airbrush for people that are beyond a "starter" airbrush and want something that can handle more detail and still not Iwata expensive. The only draw back is the nozzle is threaded thus cleaning is kind of a pain compared to an Eclipse (same nozzle type as a Neo).
Suggesting to NOT having proper ventilation is crazy. You literally describe blowing out rainbow colors of paint out your nose . . . no, it is not okay just to use ghetto setup. It's unhealthy and toxic to suggest this to your viewers. Wild.
Stynlrez is so good as a primer it will also prime the inside of your airbrush. It will also turn into gunk if you try to clean it with isopropyl alcohol (which Badger warns about).
The important component of a compressor is the regulator. If you are the kind of person who has an industrial compressor (and are deaf or it's far enough away re: noise) and want to use it, you can literally just buy the same regulator the cheap compressors ship with and mount it between your airbrush and the tank. It's around $10-15US

Point of order: Vallejo Metal Colour uses aluminum as its shiny and not mica.
1:06:00 obligatory brush only denier here, I have to put this down in a comment for my future self. As someone who tries to and very often succeeds in replicating amazing OSL by hand through a series of layering and dry brushing, the one thing i cannot do to save my life is wet blending or NMM blending. So if this can help me achieve that, I'll be happy. This video has primarily given me the motivation to buy the Youfu and try priming, Zenithal Highlighting, and basic blending. If it accomplishes that, I'll be very happy. If it takes more maintenance and time to simply use and maintain the brush than layering, then I'm not sure I'll upgrade. So for future me, here's my initial hesitation even though I'm buying the stupid airbrush to try.
Brad’s hands… for free? Scandalous good sir! What’s next, feet? For shame good sir! Joking aside, great video!
Bought a Harder & Steenbeck and wasn't disappointed. Superb quality for a high price.

Might be a bit off topic, but what is the green on Eric's Great Unclean One? I'm looking into orcs and that seems like a nice geeen to have on them
Started with an infinity. Never regretted it. Better to get the rolls as it's easier to clean, easier to operate, easier to maintain.
Don't use polyurethane primer in your airbrush. It will clog at a frustratingly high rate. If you want to be fast, use one coat from a cheap black rattle can, then use normal acrylics in your airbrush for zenithal and other shenanigans.
You can absolutely use a shop compressor as your airbrush compressor. It needs a mositure trap and a solid regulator (and preferably the regulator is attached to a tank). A regulator controlling the output from your tank makes the inconsistent PSI a non-issue and the mositure trap is needed to keep water out. You should not buy a shop compressor if all you are doing is airbrushing but if you already own one it will work if you can put up with the noise.
Oh, walking compressor syndrome is not just limited to the models without rubber suction cups. It is mostly quality of those that matters, as well what kind of floor you have.
59:00 Eric sounds like he also came from a household where the kids had "play clothes" and "school clothes". Good planning. Also Dawn Powerwash sprayable dish soap is good for hobbyist hand cleanup. Gets primer and even stuff like engine grease off your hands super effectively
Great episode!
You guys have such great rapport. It's a genuine joy to see you all bouncing off one another in a more chaotic episode
The primary issue I see with GSCs is that almost every other faction has famous characters except for them because they always get eaten. Making any legendary lords for GSCs would almost certainly require CA to have to make famous patriarchs or magi completely from scratch. Ngl tho I'm honestly hopeful for that because CA's written Shakespeare every time in those cases and that might actually end up with GSCs finally getting a named character added to their roster.
Try using a bit of sugarin with whatever you use when cleaning primer off your hands its an old mechanics trick to remove oil n grime
Harbor Freight sells an airbrush/compressor kit for $100. I tried cheap Amazon kits but it never worked. Turns out the difference was the compressor. Now things with exactly was i need it for priming and base coats. I don't use mine for detail work.
The biggest issue with airbrushes is how easily you can bounce off them when encountering a problem. Same with using any new tool or skill, it can help a lot to have someone experienced to help you troubleshoot. You WILL encounter a problem and you probably won’t even know how to ask the question that will get you a solution beyond “it isn’t working right.”
Ill watch the video, but i will never use an airbrush because i have neurological tremors 😅
I need to hear more about this patron who used a way too strong air compressor
The irl footage sounds like a guntuber range day
So don't get one if you're a Brit, got it.
This is how I feel about airbrushes. Top tip: build a tray that comes out of your cardboard booth to give you a work area at the front and tape up the seams.
In the "super cheap baby's first airbrish" range I keep hearing the brand Ovaga for a super cheap (~$50 USD or less) airbrush that's also actually quiet. Claims to be 55 psi, too. I'd love teo see a quick poorhammer short review of it someday.
Oh boy, here comes the airbrush crowd ready to come cancel me again.
Also called a paint gun.
An infinity wad my first airbrush but that was only because I both know I take good care of my stuff and I only wanted to have a but an airbrush once.
I bought the infinity because I only wanted to ever buy 1 airbrush and I agree on the 1st experience entirely, especially when you aren’t keen on thinning ratios for citadel paint. Also didn’t think to feather the trigger thank you for the advice

The same people who piss on about airbrushing being too expensive have a box of citadel rattle cans they spent more on than a decent brush, compressor, supplies, and enough airbrush primer to do every miniature they've ever bought. Oh and like five armies with a couple painted minis and the rest in various states of bare plastic and primed models that they swear they'll finish someday.
guard could work as it should: an army should be different regiments. A guard faction would have each special flavours as regiments of renown kinda. Grey knight would be a imperium horde army because they dont garrison stuff
I feel like the acrylic stuff defeats the purpose of this as an intro box. They look nice, sure, but nobody is going to want to play a mis-matched army of 2d acrylic and 3d plastic models. So now anyone who got this is going to feel like they need to start their "real" army from scratch, except they've already put down $80 (or more) with no progress toward that "real" army at all. The pre-assembled but unpainted models on the other hand are a perfect balance I think of being functional right away, but also making it easy to start getting into collecting more and building up a larger army. You can buy a few more kits, some plastic glue, and some clippers, and build up a nice (still unpainted) 500-1000 point list, and then after you've played some games and know you're into it, now it's easy to start buying paints and slowly paint up your collection, including those pre-assembled starter models you got however many months back. Terrain on the other hand is I think where the cheap side of things should be. Magnetic plastic plates might be fine, but depending on cost I'd be perfectly happy seeing thin cardboard cutouts on stands, or at most some simple origami terrain that you can glue together in 5 minutes. Bam, nice-looking terrain that you can assemble however you want (though the rules should give you some basic layouts to start).
A cheap toothbrush is better for cleaning the airbrush tip and paint holder!
Sorry if this has been said before but H&S has put out a great starter airbrush that falls right between the Neo and the Eclipse. The Ultra 2024 is a brush which acts as sort of a teaching tool - having both a dial mechanism in the center of the brush which acts like a changeable locknut (to limit pullback for paint - the thing Brad didn’t like) that’s set up for “Prime”, “Base”, Highlight layers “I-III” (as well as a full pullback non-lock), as well as a lock in the trigger which prevents pullback for paint if the trigger isn’t pressed down for air. It may not be all necessary once those basics have been assimilated, but it’s a great brush for starting out, and it’s only $110 MSRP. (Also, saw a couple guys playing Horde Mode the other day down here in SoCal. It was awesome to see, especially with Orks as the Horde. 😁)
I can see how this would be useful for someone who primarily wants to play and just has to get through the painting phase. AND wants to play more than 2000 points (aka multiple armies or many options in one army). I actually only do the hobby side. I'm not sure that I'll ever get the chance to play an actual game. There was a section of the podcast talking about how things are faster and/or easier with an airbrush, but it's like- that's why I'm painting. Because it's challenging and time-consuming, but in the end I get to have something that I painted. If I had an airbrush, I would only use it for priming and base coating. I don't really think of those parts as "painting", so I wouldn't miss them. Priming is just a rattle can, which I don't enjoy any part of. And base coating is just covering most or all of the model with 1-2 colors. The most technical parts of that process are just thinning the paint and getting the brush into all those annoying corners. Being able to just blast the model with paint for a few seconds would be a lot more satisfying. But on the other hand, using, cleaning and maintaining an airbrush would be pretty annoying too. So paying $155 to be annoyed in a different way during my two least favorite parts of painting really isn't gonna work for me. This episode really got me thinking, but I can't justify it with the way I hobby.
Absolutely loved this episode, and now I *really* want to see a play-by-play of how the race goes!
Every factions MBT should be next.
When you look at 40k guns long enough you’ll realize that most of them would have an abysmal ammo capacity, especially bolt guns with how large the bolts are.
Did anyone else notice that Brad is painting Eldar models? When did he buy another army?
Thanks been really excited for this one!
I only use my fume hood because I have the one with the light and the light works. EDIT: Also I have the pot, I prefer using a old beer can. The can can also be used as a dump bin for cleaning the cup.
These units must be converted into dollar e doos
I'm currently using some rando $60 Airbrush kit I got off Amazon. It's one of those generic no-brand ones but it seems solid. Found a working $80 aircompressor at a thrift shop for $12. Been rather happy with it.
Thank you for this video, I've had an airbrush for years but have never knew even the basics on how and why. Yes I could have gone out of my way to see other videos but I just really like your channel.
Yeah I am that asshole who bought an infinity first, totally worth it though. I also have an evolution cr and a cheap ass fengda, the evo gets used for priming basecoats, the infinity for detail and the fengda takes care of varnish
Considering how bad things are for the company, and their engine is so bad and squalid that the developers themselves talk about it (there are no plans to create a new one yet, and I think there are also no qualified personnel to create it, most likely they will be bought and sent to make hyena clons on UE5) on which they have been creating games since the 2000s, 40k would be complete shit with one planet without space battles (trilogy) for 250 bucks.
