I've got some coupons from miniwargaming for 6 free reaper paints with minimum purchase. I mostly use Vallejo and some GW stuff. So I was wondering were there any unique or interesting colors in the Reaper line not in Vallejo or GW's line? Because I really have no need for a little bit brighter blue or something I already have in my selection of VGC/VMC paints.

I have no clue what's in Vallejo, but Reaper Blackened Steel is my 'goto' silver metallic color - I like it a LOT more than boltgun, myself.

If all else fails, you can't go wrong with this for 5 free reaper paints, even if it's not very exciting, they will get used, at least:

Pure Black
Pure White
Flow Improver
Slow Dry
Matte Medium

White primer ( god sent! )
Smoke ( god sent! ) I think Fafnir also uses this product

All the flesh tones. So much better than GW's... I really like two shade: Old Bronze (great when mixed with a little hawk turquoise for a patina'd bronze) and Oiled Leather. GW's brown range leaves much to be desired in varied tones and I like the options that Reaper has there too.
