Citadel Paint Primer vs Water: The Ultimate Test
Citadel Paint Primer vs Water: The Ultimate Test
Enthusiasts push miniature boundaries with fresh mix tests. This comparison matches primer against plain water for Games Workshop bases.
Citadel Paint Primer vs Water: The Ultimate Test is a straight comparison of how base paints handle water-heavy gameplay. Results show adhesion and chipping risks change. Studies indicate acrylic formulas cling better than droplets alone.
Mix Methods and Mini Goals
Thin layers with heavy water invite cracks on metal. Proper primer creates a flexible grip that survives dice shakes. Research shows mineral spirits help plastic bases accept standard paint. Sanding plastic lightly boosts strength against sweat.
Players see smoother cleanup and fewer flakes over time. Consistent coverage cuts touch up sessions at tables. Games Workshop recommends their own primer for best outcomes.
Simple Takeaways
Skip risky water bases when tournaments demand durability. Primer pays off for minis played at venues.
