Spray on primer? I have painted thousands of minature warships,tanks, infantry 😮 😮 and planes over the years and I have never realized I needed to put a primer base on them. I have always washed them and after they dried painted them in the chosen patterns. So if you are suggesting primer what do you use since even on my 1-700 scale Warship collection I never used a primer. Maybe it was written to do so but I can’t read Japanese, no instructions in English.

Just saw this option. I’m about to try using them for the first time in Sea Lion. Interesting you can load them on BB and CA’s.

Hi guys, been away for a while. For FTF table top games, what are folks using for marines? In addition to 1940 Global I have my old A&A Classic pieces. I was thinking the infantry units from there may be used. What are others doing?

While I like that idea, the problem with that is that the infantry from A&A Classic are the same sculpts. While some nations have really changed the color of their pieces, others have not (such as UK and USA). One fairly cheap idea would be to use a plastic chip of an agreed-upon color (blue would work nicely, I think) under the would-be marines. Another option would be to grab some acrylic “Marines” markers from HBG (available here) and use those under your would-be marines. HBG also sells plastic chips, available here.
I hope this helps you out.
