Vallejo are launching a new metallic paint line with 80 colours. Juan Hidalho has put up a first look you tube video here

 

The paints look very impressive. Any EC, TS, AL, or painters of metallic schemes should certainly take a look.

From the description I was expecting an expanded version of the Metal Colour line (although how you'd get to 80 colours that way I don't know) - I should have twigged it's coloured metallics. Reminds me of the old metallic green/purple/blue GW did back in the 1990s ...

I turned away from Vallejo after their mass formula change, but we'll see how this pans out - their Metal Colour range is fantastic but these are evidently a different formula. Would be nice to have some interesting high quality metallics to offer an alternative to some of the more unique Scale 75 metallics.

Never understood why they didn't add at least a little more to that line. Real pity

yeah i wonder how well these will actually sell. the vallejo metal color range are my go to, hopefully the airbrush ones here are similar consistency - will wait for some non-sponsered reviews. but i don't play necrons or metal SMs, so I can't actually think of many reasons for picking any of these up, even if they look fantastic. 

I saw this video last night, when he said it was the largest range of metallics yet I thought to myself "Yeah, right, you haven't heard of Darkstar then?", then when he said there were 80 paints in the range I nearly spat out my imaginary drink. I gast was well and truly flabbered, and the paints themselves look pretty good. I'll have to keep an eye on these.
