Hi guys,

I've just recently purchased a lot of armour (well, transports) and decided "I am not painting all of that blue". So, I invested in some Tamiya blue spray paint. the stuff went on easy enough and the models have a nice smooth basecoat. The colour is a slightly brighter hue (TS15) than my Kantor Blue (yes, we're talking about crimson fists here). I personally think that given how much time it saved me, the difference is acceptable. It's too late to change the uniform of my infantry, with at least 40% of the infantry done.

So, this is a personal taste thing. Does Dakka mind if tanks look different to marines? Does it matter, will I Get marked down in tournaments for a very slight colour differences?

Thanks in advance

I'd say it's not a big deal, since the difference will likely be hard to spot (large flat surfaces vs small curved surfaces are going to look different even using the same paint). Depends on the tournament judges though - perhaps if it's the only thing between you and the next best they might lean one way or the other, but really I doubt it.

A bit of variation is nice, imo
