Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Cheap AF "eyebrow" brushes (eg. AliExp: ~$0.20ea) for quick & dirty drybrushing are clutch. Hell, mixing your own "speed"/"contrast" paint is another way to make this super cheap, too. (ie. acrylic ink, veg. glycerin, alcohol, et al [can link recipe]) π€πΌπ€
Sure link recipe. The armypainter stuff is super expensive compared to what I can get from craft supplies. I already have the cheap dry-brushes etc.
You might wanna save it to local as the creator has gotten more corpo-funded since this video and hasn't so much as mentioned said recipe since 2019. π«£ Just sayin'.
Also, this is basically the same thing that was old hat around the GW crowd @ GenCon in the 90s. Ain't nobody got time to paint an entire con-discount army before game time without this wash tech, and it's stupid cheap to make. (IIRC, for the price of 1-2 pots of brand name, you can make dozens of your own colors.)
