Hey guys
Just wondering what peoples preferred paints are for their respective games?
Any brands you'd reccomend above others and any you'd avoid like a drunken dwarf slayer who's pints just been spilled?
Myself i like a few different brands, I like vallejo paints for their ingenious 'dropper' bottles which helps me when i want to mix a certain shade
I like privateer press' P3 paints for their solid colour and easy coverage much like the citadel foundation range, but with a larger colour palette to choose from
which brings me to the GW paints, i'm a big fan of their inks and washes and pleased with the foundation range but despite the best range of colours in their standard paints i feel like they're not quite as good as the other brands for ease of coverage and solidness of colour, needing 3-4 coats to get a nice flat colour compared to 1-2 coats with the vallejo and P3.
But then thats just my preferences and my painting style
