Hello!!
As mentioned, I'm living in Norway (the place that time forgot) and I'm wondering if anyone in Scnadinavia-shire knows of a decent(ish) alternative to the G.W undercoat,i.e, cheaper. I would prefer a black alternative if at all possible!!! not seen Plasti-coat anywhere around where I am, but any knowledge would be really appreciated as I'm running low!! |

The sprays from these guys not only beat GW's prices, but are far, far superior. Their other stuff isn't too bad either ofcourse, hope it's helped.

Find a place that sells car paint. They should sell an Acrylic Primer. They should do black, grey and white. I use Halford in the UK, don't know if their is somewhere similar in Norway.

I use the spraycans from army painter, they are a little bit cheaper then GW but they are from the same quality.
Cheers, G |

Itīs expensive to get but if youīre willing to spend money for an airbrush you have your "cheap alternative". I spend ~1k bucks for the basic equipment, 750 for the compressor and 250 for the pistol and tubes. But now I just use GWs spray if my customers want it for whatever reason. So I still have 2 cans of the GW stuff but dont really use it.
Itīs all a question of how many models you have to undercoat. But for me it wasnt affordable anymore plus I like airbrushing so it was the way to go. |

I do have an airbrush, but I have a load of mini's to paint. Army Painter I can't find in Norway, Sadly Norway doesn't have a big wargaming history. there's not many shops around that sell hobby stuff, and I can't order sprays to be sent here because of the risk of exploding during postage.

If you got an airbrush already then use it.
 In my blog you can see a lot of orcs and all of them are basecoated with my airbrush. Plus my BO blocks got their basic armour colours done using an airbrush. It works like a charm. |
