I dont really like GW's price tag (or Vallejo's for that matter), so im constantly on lookout for decent alternatives. A mate of mine said he was pretty happy with a kit he bought called Warpaint.
Since i've never heard of it, wanted to ask - has anyone tried it before?

Warpaints seem to be the range of paints from Mantic. Its 1 pound 75, per bottle and the range seems to be quite limited.
Honestly, i'd just pay for Vallejo paints, which you can get from Wayland for 1 pound 89. 14 p more, but you get the entire selection from 3 or 4 ranges.

Cheap model paint would not be easy to find, but Coat d'Arms sells GW's old range.

Warpaint might be Army Painter's range, too. They call the pots Warpaints.

Yeah, I would guess he's talking about the Army Painter Warpaints. I use them frequently and like them a lot.

I use some of the Army painter warpaints and I will definitely buy more they are really quite good paints! colours are a touch more pastel than we're used to seeing but the coverage and density are good.
