Lord Lee Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi guys Just getting back into the hobby after a short break and was wondering if anyone had done a proper review of the forgeworld airbrush paints? If there has been could anyone please post a link or if not has anyone had some experience with their metals and clear colours. Thanks Lord Lee Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314821-looking-for-forgeworld-paint-review/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lee Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 So no one has used a forgeworld paint or see anything like a review or a YouTube vid of someone using them?

Atia Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I have got a few airbrush paints from FW - they are awesome - the colour tones are ideal for most FW armies (the bronze f.e. is ideal for Minotaurs), and you can use them very well with a normal brush too :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314821-looking-for-forgeworld-paint-review/#findComment-4196663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayasu Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I've used Corvus Black, Typhon Ash and Castallax Bronze. They're good paints, the Bronze covers great and airbrushes well. It does need thinning a little more I found. Typhon and Corvus can be used out of the pot and cover great. They brush on well, too. Honestly i'm not sure what else to tell you - I like them, and have no regrets getting them, in fact I've got an order with FW at the moment that includes Phalanx Yellow. The Corvus Black in particular has saved me a ton of time with mixing my own off-black colour for my RG.

Lord Lee Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Nice I was worried about the quality of the metals mostly as I am not a big fan of GWs current ones, however it looks like that's not a problem with the FW range. So last question I am doing quite large arimes in the near future, some of which will be posted up on the B&C (including Vostroyan Firstborn, a diy CSM warband, a hive fleet, mech Orks and a small allied force of loyalists from the coming HH box) Would you recommend I buy select paints or just buy the full set? Thanks Lord Lee. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314821-looking-for-forgeworld-paint-review/#findComment-4196730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I've been using them off and on, as just brush-on paint. Corvus Black is amazing, I love it. Typhon Ash is also really good. Valdor Gold is...interesting. It's a silvery gold/goldy sliver that looks really good as an edge highlight. And of course, Night Lords Blue is good. Somewhere lighter than Kantor Blue, but still dark enough to not look like Ultramarines. I'm planning on trying the rest of the metalics soon, hopefully. As well as the Sons of Horus greens.

DarkMark Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Would you recommend I buy select paints or just buy the full set? Most comments I've seen, to paraphase, basically say the paints are decent but nothing special and more expensive than others in the market. I cherry pick my paints from all manufacturors and recommend you, and every one else, do the same. Buying whole ranges seems excessive to me.
