So I’m about to begin painting for the first time, but I’m not sure what colors to buy. I play Star Wars Legion so I’ll be painting a bunch of stormtroopers, death troopers, and other very monocolor minis. Should I use black and white primers for them? Or do neutral grey and paint the colors?

Bonus points if anyone can tell me if wildspire minis are good for a first time project.

    I personally paint mostly 3D printed minis for DnD and the occasional statue so YMMV

    I typically use black primer with a sprits of grey from above to kinda act like an initial highlight layer.

    Or just black depending on the model.

    A big part of the primer IMO is that it gives a base coat and shadows for hard to reach places.

    Happy painting!
