PLA+ for printable minis
Daily driver for infantry, terrain, and the dice coffer. Not for 75mm claws.

Speedpaint for 32mm squads
Fast, loud, and honest. Great for Reavers. A trap if you try it on a 75mm face.

Workhorse brushes vs. the nice one
Cheap synthetics for basecoats. One decent sable for faces. Everything else is theatre.
