Recently been painting up Forest Dragon’s Warmaster miniatures scaled to 15mm for custom scaled Frostgrave and Oathmark, and wanted to try out Army Painter’s new 2.0 speedpaints, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the results! They dry a bit faster than I’d like, to the point of drying on-brush, but other than that, no complaints.
Still needs basing!
The detail on miniatures and tidy lines is always so impressive to me. I needed my glasses to see it all on my phone. Do you have to use like a magnifying glass while you work?
Most miniature painters I know usually go without, at least with 28mm miniatures. I’ve usually stuck with that scale due to accessibility, it’s just way more common, but I’ve fallen in love with the cost and space savings of 15mm, and the board feels much bigger when you play to boot.
With this scale, and 10mm, I always use a set of magnifying glasses with a light and flip-up lenses. They came with both headband and glasses-like adapters but as I wear glasses, I stick with the headband. They’ve been honestly one of my best purchases for painting and I even find myself using them with 28mm work as well!
Those would make it so much easier! A worthwhile investment for sure.
