Hmm, Where to start? I posted here in june or july asking if anyone here had used these paints, to a general lack of knowledge. No biggie, I figured I\'d find them eventually, buy some, then get down to painting with them. Then my Friendly Local Games Store tells me they\'re getting them in.
First things First: Consistency of these paints is very thick, like thickened cream. I\'m a big fan of this, as it makes them in my opinion, excellent for blending. I can do blending with derivan minis and some retarder, giving me a final finish that would take 12-16 layers to complete if I were layering the paint down. All in a lot less time, making it quite a useful paint.
Pigmentation seems to be nice and dense, My blending technique requires thinning these down with anywhere between 2 and 4 parts retarder/flow medium to one part paint. I like a degree of transparency even when I\'m blending. I have only done one model using these paints and layering techniques, but even so, that did give me a fairly good effect, with a slightly less chalky finish than my GW paints. That\'s kind of odd, given that the first thing that I noticed about these paints is how Matt they dry. Very matt finish.
The range is very nice, offering some colours that GW no longer do, and at least one I\'ve not seen in any other paint line. Companion Violet is a lovely pale purple. They also have Payne\'s Grey, very very useful for military uniforms, and rorke\'s drift red, basically cadmium red. The reddest red ever.
I like these paints, and I honestly wish I had some minis painted in them to show you. I guess you could just take my word for it, but I wouldn\'t trust someone on the internet without photographic proof.

you can get excellent result with most paints and from how you describe them these sound really good. However are they hard to get hold of?
