Has anyone used them in this? I now have a giant marine army and like this red but boy does it take awhile to paint. Any thoughts or experience with using the Spray Gun?

Really appreciated.

Vallejo has some oil element in their paint.
Not sure if that'll have some negative effects during
cleaning though... I would be worried about it clogging up :x

I've used a very similar single action air can driven spray gun with vallejo model color paints and have had mixed results. The biggest problem is pigment separation - dont use any thinner other than water. I had trouble getting the consistency correct but got there after a few attempts and things went better then. I cant give any specific advice as to the mixture as it depends on the paint being used, but nothing too thin or it will crackle when drying. About 30% water / 70% paint is a general guide for me but that might be a little thick for a lot of colours. One more warning - be careful trying to get a lot of paint out of the drip nozzle of vallejo paints quickly as you might cause too much pressure and pop the top off. Instead, push onto the top in from the side and then you can pop it out manually and pour the paint at a faster rate without risk of spillage.

Vallejo also do a range of airbrush paints call 'Model Air' - see http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/ for more info.

Thanks to you both. Now I'm a bit unsure about it as I just spent the past few months building up a company plus of marines, terminators, veterans etc with a lot of conversion. Maybe I should just stick to my test...

Which was drybrush shinning gold, paint red gore, wash with devlan mud, wetbrush vallejo red (033), then touch up the red manually, shade-line with redgore and a touch of DA green, highlight with red and vomit mix and finally glaze with a red ink and touch of flesh ink (privateer now).

Part of me is worried this will burn me out but I do like the result. I'm trying to stay away from the more orangey reds you get with Blood Red. I like the rich quality of the Vallejo. I was thinking to spray the vallejo red then blackline with the red/green mix and highlight/glaze. Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.

this place also sells vellejo air, with some discount:
