... might be old news, but I just noticed that Vallejo has posted an Equivalency Chart that allows you to cross reference their Game Color line with Rackham, Citadel and Reaper Master Series paints and even notes which are perfect matches and which are close matches.

There is also an Equivalency Chart for the Model Color line with Federal Standard, RLM, Ral, Tamiya, Humbrol, Gunze, Revell, Testors, Andrea, Film Color and Rackham.

An invalulable reference if you ever need to cross reference colors between manufacturers.

That's fantastic. I had seen the RLM/RAL/FS Equivalency Chart before, or at least an earlier version of it, but I hadn't yet seen the one for Rackham & Reaper Master Series (we all know VGC is almost a one for one direct compare for Citadel Color). Good stuff.

I love how the Vallejo names are clearly just slight alterations of the GW names. It makes me smile.

It also keeps me honest when comparing colors!  I like it for its ease of use.

I do get some odd questions about the names from my girlfriend, though.

Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k.                                                                                                       Rule #1
