Alright, the family got me a really nice airbrush set from Hobbylobby, an Iwata Neo and Neo Air compressor, just about the cutest one out there! After watching a ton of vids(Miniac seems to be a good guidepost) I got to work...
So heres my 3rd go after trying zenithal highlighting on some old heroclix, once I got the speed and distance down, I hit this chaos muscle guy with dark brown and a white highlight, ready for inks and washes.
Very fun, I'm off to get some glycerin to make thinner and flow improver, wish me luck and hit me up with any advice for a n00b?
Thank you

First off, I used too much white. My inks and glazes look terrible.
I started over and will post pics as soon as I get a good result.

Yes, you can use almost any acrylic just need to add some airbrush thinner which is just Glycerin and Isopropyl alcohol.
Ive tried to this down some Apple Barrel paint(basic acrylic craft paint) with some success, and I thinned Games Workshop brand "Genestealer purple" Layer Acrylic and even GW's Purple ink with no thinner. Not bad stuff!
Its easy to use, surprisingly so. I think you have to play with air speed and distance as well as the paint used for a while but its a lot of fun!

Erho, you are right about adjusting the air pressure(speed) and distance when using an airbrush. You can get really great results from an airbrush, but like anything else, practice makes perfect. Course, airbrushes are a little more complex than say just a regular paint brush, so it's going to take more practice.
