So I was browsing The WarStore and noticed that it looks like Vallejo has come out with an new line of washes and heavy paints of their Game Color Brand.

Has anyone compared these to the GW Foundation Paints and washes to see if they are compatible/comparable?

It would be nice if someone updated the color chart comparison article to take these into account:

I checked the Vallejo site last night & couldn't find reference to these paints but they do have colour conversion charts.

Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, thier website doesn't even mention this new product line that the Warstore is selling.

I have them. As usual they are equal to and just a little better than the GW equivalents. Mainly in price, quantity, and paint-to-palette delivery method (dropper). Here's a couple scans I did of the flyer that came with the Extra Opaques. It doesn't show the what Vallejo is what GW - but you should be able to figure it out by looking at the color and name.

I had no idea these were out now - awesome!

I found the back of the box I had cut out that has an equivalencies chart.

Pink Terror you are a Saint. A Saint I say!

I've updated the paint chart to reflect the new foundation paint alternatives:

Awesome work guys!

**Tek**

Wicked bad. Does anyone know if they cover the same? I'm a big fan of the GW foundation paints, but any way I can stick it to them, I will

Thanks Legoburner!

@ Tek, I just placed an order with the War Store, so I will be able to compare them in a week.

You wouldn't happen to have the equivalency chart for thier new washes?

**whatwhat**

Are the washes just from the vallejo washes range which came out last year or are they a new part of the game colour range? I know it says game colour on the op's link but the names sound like they are from the range which came out last year. If they are, you may find they leave a slight gloss like I did.
