Casual Heresy Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Morning all. Colour Forge have announced an expansion of their core range of sprays with 7 new colours and a new satin varnish spray: Introducing The 2026 Core Range Expansion - The Colour Forge I for one am very happy with this. I painted my realm of battle board using Mournfang Brown spray which is of course long gone and I haven't found a replacement I'm totally happy with. And I have one tile I want to repaint and four second hand tiles from the AoS Shattered Dominion board to repaint so Bestiary Brown is a god send.

Mazer Rackham Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Good news, indeed. I have recently switched to Colour Forge, and I am impressed with some of the staples (black, red, grey, matt varnish) I've used so far, so seeing more of the range bodes well for future projects and their business. Very pleasing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388004-colour-forge-sprays-range-expansion/#findComment-6172915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Nice! I have heard good things about them, I only have their white and it is decent as white spray primer goes, but I expect the other colours are better. I don't understand why white is so tricky to make a good spray with, there are amazing white paints available nowadays and there's plenty of great spray cans out there- you can even get borderline perfect chrome from a spray (Revell makes a great one). You would think the two would converge but the closest thing to a good white spray can I know is Tamiya... and that's so smooth it's actually hydrophobic, a bit of a problem for putting water based paint over!

Iirc depending on the white pigment used you either have somewhat transparent pigments or really big pigments that will not play nice with miniature details. The top dog here is titanium white for coverage, but I imagine it a good chunk more expensive compared to something like chalk. I can confirm that, while white is "merely" very good, black and grey are excellent, almost idiot proof (until a bigger idiot is invented), and the matte varnish is my go to for all my minis.

Corswain Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Good news. These are my go-to spray cans now. Much better quality than the GW ones and better value than any I've brand I've seen.

ZeroWolf Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I switched over to Colour Forge for their wraith Knight for my nids and my sons dark angels. Such a better deal than GW's offering. Shame I can't find a primer that colour for my airbrush as that's taken over wirh priming duties at the moment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388004-colour-forge-sprays-range-expansion/#findComment-6172979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Might have to give these a look. My go-tos are Tamiya for grey and white, and Army Painter for beige. Always on the lookout for better undercoats. 3 hours ago, Nephaston said: almost idiot proof (until a bigger idiot is invented) Challenge accepted!

Burni Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 NIce. I use their sprays already but Warmonger green will be a better base colour for my SoH Legions Imperialis.

I have found out very recently exactly why I won't be using spray varnish again! An example for you all to either test first! I might have put too much on at once. Before After! That frosty look, isn't exactly what I was going for! Some gloss varnish is helping a little, but I'll see if I've got anything that might help (some fine sanding might work). phandaal, Lord Marshal, skylerboodie and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388004-colour-forge-sprays-range-expansion/#findComment-6173021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having it fail at the very last step like that is the worst. After one too many frosty minis (or even worse, crinkly minis) I made the switch over to liquitex years ago and my stress level has gone way down. It takes longer, but it is worth it to me to never have to worry about those problems again.

The new White Scar from Citadel is genuinely an excellent white primer from my experience. Yes you definitely pay through the nose for it, but it lays down smooth without the graininess of even Corax White and is an actual true white instead of a very light grey (as most 'white' primers seem to be). I'd not buy any of the other Citadel primers these days, but I do think if you're in the market very specifically for a white you can do much worse. I've heard good things about Tamiya White as others have mentioned already, but similarly it's quite expensive for what it is (unusual for Tamiya) and not as easily acquired.

Magos Takatus Posted Friday at 05:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:07 PM I have moved across to Airbrush for quite a while so I don't really need Colour Forge cans but I've seen them in shops and they look really cool. Seeing new additions can only be better. If I ever get into making or own cosplay items with my 3d printer these will be really useful.

Halandaar Posted Monday at 01:44 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:44 PM I was only thinking the other day I wish they did a match to Incubi Darkness, so I can't decide whether the one that matches to Kabalite Green will do much the same job with a tweak to the paint scheme, or if that effectively ends any hope of getting a shortcut for this colour shy of an airbrush, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388004-colour-forge-sprays-range-expansion/#findComment-6173278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoatibix Posted Monday at 02:10 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:10 PM I have been using Imperial Purple for my Tyranids but would have snatched up that Patriarch Purple if it had been available. It is good stuff.
