I've got a quick question for anyone who might know, or have an idea as to an answer. Now i know the game color set is more for fantasy/futuristic, where as Model color is closer to millitary, But when you have a color that you can get from either range such as Cold Grey(GC)/Basalt Grey (MC) Which are both basicly the same as codex grey, Is their a benifit to getting one over the other?

Oh stop complaining, its for the greater good... Now get in the box!

Well, the word on the street is that model color is more sensitive to handling than game color, also that the model color has a more matte finish. But don't take my word for it, because I don't really notice any difference. But anyhow, game color corresponds to citadels line while model color has more colors to pick from so it's up to you to best suit your needs.

Well honestly either one suits my needs, and with the few colors i need to get to keep working on my krieg, some are in only one range, while some are equivilants in both.

I personally find Model Colour is easier to use, mix, etc. whereas Game Colour is a lot more resilient to handling (model colour makes varnish a non optional requirement for me).
