Will give it a read, thanks. I've personally had some good snags via ebay. Doesn't always net me the new hotness right away, but I still manage to acquire faster than I can paint. And china always has my back when it comes to forgeworld and finecast. Same questionable QA, for a fraction of the price!
More tips are always appreciated!

the one thing I didn't really think about was using a makeup brush for drybrushing... told my wife and she said "oh I have some I'm not using"... a LOT better than the old beat up brushes I was using...lol you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

How idiot proof is this technique? I was planning on trying some dry-brushing out (again) and all my previous attempts I would constantly fail and splatter paint all over my nicely painted mini and cause sadness as I plopped my nearly-complete mini into a vat of alcohol/simplegreen/etc to completely start over |

it's pretty foolproof.
The trick with drybrushing is you take a little bit of paint on the brush, then take the brush and go back and forth on a piece of paper towel until all the paint is almost gone. you should be able to then drybrush and only get the barest hint of paint from the brush, which is why it takes repeated drybrushing to build up the colour.
If you have too much paint on your brush that's when you get paint splattering all over. There should be no paint to even splatter... it must be DRY.

On that note, how well do the GW dry range (e.g. necron compund) work? I've never tried them but if it saves wasting normal layer paint im open to the idea

I use Rhyza rust all the time as the drybrush last step to my rust recipe... it's really easy to work with and lends itself to drybrushing because it's very thick.
(warplock bronze, Typhus Corrosion, then drybrush Rhyza rust)
