Tyberos the Red Wake Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I haven't tried them yet but I look forward to doing so when I restock Citadel colors. It's probably the same deal as Vallejo Air. If you thin your Citadel paints a lot, it's basically just pre-thinned for you. It might still require a bit more thinning for some airbrush setups. Very convenient for paintbrushing, but the pot design is useless for airbrushing.

JeffTibbetts Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I've tried Leadbelcher, Khorne Red and black. I love them, personally. They're not essential, by any means, as you can always thin down regular paint. However, they're extremely quick and a perfect color match, so if you just get the colors you like to base with you know you can easily touch up later with no concern about pigment matching. I wish they made Waaagh! Flesh, as it would make my life a million times easier (that's a real figure, not an exaggeration). I'd say grab a couple of the colors you use the most and see how they work out. As with any AB color, the coverage will be great. I can see that Leadbelcher one really helping a Knight Titan project or similar. You CAN thin them down further if you like, but they also spray very well as-is. I use a pipette with all colors anyway, so the non-dropper bottles are a non-issue for me. And yes, you sure can use them straight from the pot with a brush, but as you may imagine they just won't last as long as a regular paint since you use less and thin it down.

ronin_cse Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have used Mepheston red, Khorne red, Yriel yellow, and Abaddon black and they are all excellent. Compared to Vallejo air paints and Minitaire they are at least as good. On a side note I have also used quite a few Forge World airbrush paints and those are also amazing, again at least as good as other brands and probably a bit better. Oh yeah and as Jeff mentioned above me get some pipettes, they are cheap and make the paint pots a non issue.

Guest Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks guys, I'll pick a few up for testing for my knight and Land Raider. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322415-gw-air-paint/#findComment-4396827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Awesome. Let us know what you think. I think a lot of hobbyists never try these because they're not sold in FLGS stores. Do GW stores even stock them? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322415-gw-air-paint/#findComment-4397482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Legionnaire Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I really wish they would have put them in dropper bottles instead of leaving them in pots. Now that I'm finally getting the hang of thinning down citadel paints I'm less interested in them but I guess I wouldn't mind trying them. For those who have tried/use them. Do you shoot them straight from the pot or do you find adding a little bit more thinner helps? I noticed with some of my VGA paint's some like a little bit extra thinner.

Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I transfer all my GW paints to dropper bottles anyway :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322415-gw-air-paint/#findComment-4397882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought some cheap pipettes from Amazon so the paint pots aren't an issue. I have both a Badger 360 (basically a patriot) and a Renegade and I use them without thinning without issue.

Blackheart1223 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I've tried the Zandri Dust and Ushabti Bone paints on my Titan. They went through the airbrush without any issues.
