    I ove the idea of coffee table sized game Unless i'm misunderstanding... why does shrinking the scal reduce the play time?

    I find we play more fast and loose. Spend less time agonising over the accurate movement to the mm and just move minis and roll dice with a lot more flexibility about how it fits the rules. Possibly play style as well as the scale change

    In the first part of this tutorial, it ended with all the extra detail finished, and this video starts with the terrain already primed. I might have missed it, but did you use something to seal the MDF before priming or did you go straight on with the primer? I've just ordered a ton of TTCombat terrain for a Necromunda table but have never painted MDF before and there is a raging debate in the hobby on how best to / whether you should seal the MDF first. Would love to know what you did on this kit!

    Hi! Did you watch part 1 about the build and texture stage? The primed minis I show at 1:00 are with the colours shown at the front, the dark tones that I talked about for contrast. These are just graffiti art paints. They’re not water based so the MDF doesn’t swell up and come In many colours. Alternatively the new TTC (made since the video came out) are amazing for MDF by design. If you use a traditional primer then yea, a seal of PVA does help but a TTC or graffiti paint you can just go straight onto the MDF. My additional building steps and painting steps will definitely bring out the best in the terrain. Especially all dirty for Necromunda

I always thought that of the 3 lines from Army Painter, GW and now Valejo there are good colors and not so good ones. For example I like the red and the brown from army painter speed paint and I like the white from contrast. The goblin green contrast from Valejo I like best from all 5 colors I tried yet, but the dark green I find not very good. But contrary to you I am only a medium skilled painter, so my opinion is not worth much I guess.
