Hi all. I am painting am awful lot of yellow at the moment so i thought I would try artists acrylic.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daler-Rowney-System-3-Acrylic-Artist-Paint-250ml-Tube-All-Colours-Available-/181243224226?pt=UK_Crafts_DrawingSupplies_EH&var=480284612665&hash=item2a32f020a2

bought a bottle of this, watered it down and put it through my airbrush.

great paint and a hole lot cheaper than gaming paints. goes on better than most paints and with a great colour depth to.

I think FW use their ink range & I was looking at getting some. Didn't realise that they also did paints.
Any chance of some pics of your models with this stuff on?
& cheers for the info - colour me very interested.

hi bubber. the pic isn't great but its the yellow ochre colour.

Nice. Cheers bopins

Artists acrylics work just fine ; although are a little thick for us right out of the bottle.

Reputable brands include Darler Rowney (as youve mentioned), Windsor & Newton, Liquitex, Golden, Attelier, Vallejo (vallejo do paints that arent aimed at us too)
.. plus many more.

I've got a lot of Windsor and Newton Galleria soft body acrylics for painting canvases with that occasionally get brought out for the mini's. Just have to make sure to thin it well.
