So I am not sponsored by Luke

However if you follow me on social media or a posts here you will have noticed laterly I have been "fixing" my High Elves and Isengard armys - I have really enjoyed the experience so far, but starting to dread the next stage of the Elves where I need to start from bare plastic!

Wait. Someone else remembers that?

I think the single biggest piece of advice I'd give anyone there is "don't buy 'official'." If a brand correlates to quality – Bob Ross gesso is better for priming than any of the others I've tried – that's fine, but if you're only paying out to have the 'official' scenery or dice or whatever, think twice. Maybe three times.
