Good stuff. Is there much difference between the various brands of acrylic paint pens? Now I’m retired I hope to start painting my 2mm armies, so need to understand which specific brand to buy. I’ll try the Sharpie ones you recommend and see how it goes… Do the Sharpie ones have a specific description/product ID? Cheers 😉
@@TsCreativeRamblings - many thanks. I’ll check ‘em out. Presumably they also do other colours (rather than just these “metal” colours suitable for armour/shields etc) - I’m thinking of, say, colours for cloaks, uniforms & flesh.
I think so. Amazon had a good selection of Sharpie pens. That is certainly a smart way of getting the other colours ‘painted’. It’s not something I’d considered but now you mention it. I would try and find the fine tip markers as 2mm are very small. Just remember to leave some black showing so you get that shadow effect. That’s what gives the depth and helps to make them pop. Good luck and enjoy!
@@TsCreativeRamblings - thanks. I’ll see how I get on with the Sharpie ones first. I see Amazon has various tip sizes - fine, extra fine and ultra fine so I need to be sure I’m using the appropriate tip size. I wouldn’t wanna paint a 28mm figure with a pen with just a 0.7mm tip but I also wouldn’t want to try using a 1” paintbrush. I’ll hafta investigate further. Thanks for your advice 👍
It's an approach that's less labour intensive than my 40 x 20mm bases. Really showcases the scale.
Hope you found it useful!
Nice!
Thanks for your support!
Really cool is it strength and honour ur using for rules?
Thanks! Yeah it is! They are a really good set of rules! I hope to do some videos of games on the channel, particularly my LotR games!
@@TsCreativeRamblings fantastic i look forward to that
May take a bit of time as I work out the best way to do it and get my set up correct but it is an ambition of mine!

Sharpie Permanent Markers | Fine Point for Bold Details | Assorted Metallic Colours | 3 Marker Pens amzn.eu/d/fFW77PI
These are the ones I bought! Very useful for ancient armies. Very cheap as well. You can get them from Amazon or The Range if you live in the UK.
