For the intro box set minis what kinda of paint would be good to paint them?Or would it depend on the primer used?

Hey Spiff. I used my standard acrylics and didn't have any issues. I did wash them all in dish soap first.

Thanks! When I get time in the next few weeks I'll try some acrylics.

Krylon makes a good spray primer for plastics called Krylon Fusion.  Should work on the Boxed Set minis...
