Title: Paints
Post by: Spenno on 18 November 2011, 02:46:37 PM
Hello I was wondering if anybody has come across anybody has come across any paints that are the same as Terracota and Tanned Flesh that GW used to sell? I got 6 pots of each when GW stopped making them but they will not last me long enough.

Thank you in advance,

Steven

There's a full conversion chart here for all of the popular paint ranges, including the Model Colour which we sell (!): http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart (http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart)

I'll also have the Game Colour paints in very soon!

Just to update, the Game Colour have arrived today, so I'll have these on the Minibits stand at Smoggycon this weekend.  They'll also be added to the website as soon as I get chance.

Very cool! Thanks Leon!

It deserve a place in the "Resources" topic.

I'll put something up, I'm going to transfer it to my own format first.

I'm really pleased that you're getting Game Color - I use them almost entirely [with a couple of residual Citadel paints & a few Model Color] - and I find them great to work with.

Mind you, with this, I might just as well bung you my gaming budget in its entirety on January 1st each year - that'll save me a boatload of time & hassle  ;D
