The title isn’t about racial tensions in
modern America, but rather the (probably slightly less important) issue of
choosing an undercoat.
I may have mentioned this before, but I
always used to undercoat my figures in black (it was all the rage in the late
90’s), and so it was natural for me to continue to do so when I got back in to
painting.
However, after painting a few figures that
arrived from eBay pre-undercoated in white, I’ve slowly come to realize that it
is a better fit. It’s generally faster for me and it mitigates my penchant for
painting fairly dark and muddy colors.
It’s probably not the best demonstration, since they aren't totally alike but here’s two Skaven I finished recently:
The clanrat (to the right) was undercoated
in black, while the globadier was undercoated white.
I’ve also tried a grey undercoat, but as I
haven’t really been able to make the most of it, so I’ll stick with white for
my old Citadel.
