Vallejo True Metallic Metal Range

[Crimson Longinus]

Do they also have a varnish that can be used with these without ruining the effect?

 

And do they have black? I have a bunch of Necrons I've wanted to paint in shiny metallic black, but I haven't gotten around to.

I'll have to keep an eye on these, if they have one that is the close enough to Azkhelion Green over leadbelcher that doesn't rely on contrast it'll make adding vehicles to my thousand sons a lot less painful.

[W.A.Rorie]

Interested. But not sure how much I would get.

I don't do much with metallic other than trims, but these do look good.  Do wonder what the shades would look like over none metallic as I'm liking they can be thinned with water.

Looking forward to seeing the gold range.

I have some oop shining gold that needs replacement. Hopefully they have something close, I used it on my Warhound and need a tonne more for my WIP Reaver. OCD demands they are matchy matchy.

I'll pick up the green for 4th company Ultramarines trim to test it out.

Metallic Black has always been a hard one to find a good one of IMO

Tamiya has a spray metallic black that's pretty good but they don't make a bottled version of it unfortunately

When the range is finally released I've got my fingers crossed for a good metallic black option. Would revive the Iron Hands project that's been in "developement hell" in my hobby life since the start of the edition.

 

I do think I'll be buying heavily into this range when it does drop. I've been experimenting with other paint brands beyond GW more this year and vallejo stuff is so far a favourite of what I've tried. More ways to do cool and unusual things would be appreciated. The obvious advantage I can see for my own hobbying is being able to replicate coloured metallic armour schemes I like, but with a method that is easy to replicate on vehicles. At the moment my living situation means an airbrush is impractical and as much as I love contrast type paints, I still struggle to make it look good over large flat surfaces. I'm sure I'd get there with more practise, but but time is limited.

Hope we get more info and a release date soon.

Will definitely give these a go, bought a couple of the Gaahleri paints for the bright colours, so be very interested to see how they all work together?

Well, this has my attention. I have a long-treasured bottle of Amethyst Purple I was thinking of cracking out for a do-over of my Drukhari, looks like this range might serve me better.
