Does anyone have any experience with the new Reaper Master Series High Density Colors? How do they compare to GW Foundations and Vallejo Extra Opaques? There seems to a really nice color selection and I was looking to pick up a few to test....

I've used them quite a bit, they fill a part of the Reaper series that was currently empty. I would defintly recommend them if you already use the Reaper line.

I bought a whole set a while ago. They're good, with better pigment density than the other Master Series colors. And the colors themselves are very good.

They don't still don't seem to cover as well as some of the vallejos or GW foundations, but they're still good, and way cheaper than GW's.

But, you'll still need a few coats if you're going yellow over black.

I just ordered the 2 sets that the warstore has. they should be arriving thursday. Looking forward to getting to try them out myself. I love the gw foundations, even though they are limited in color options, and have yet to try the Vallejo ones.

I tried them at a paint and take, and I liked 'em. I bought the full set but really haven't played with them too much.

great, thanks for all the info. I do use the Vallejos and have all of the RMS paints. The color range really is what interested me. I've got nothing against Foundations but there color tones always seemed a bit muted. Might pick up a few select colors that interest me.

Before switching to Reaper I would recommend trying them out first, they are different then GW and Vallejo.

Like I said I own "all" of the RMS line (that's Reaper Master Series) so I'm well aware of the difference in how they perform , but thanks
