Hey Dakk-ites,

I'm taking up my airbrush again after a LONG hiatus. None of my paints are still viable, so I'm faced with the (un?)-enviable task of replacing them.

I typically prefer Vallejo Model/Game Air and it's associated mediums/thinners/cleaners/extenders, etc.

I'm also very interested (on the non-airbrush side of things) in trying out oil-based washes with Windsor & Newton pigments.

So... Can someone recommend a good source for these sorts of paints here in the US as I recreate my painting table?

Thanks in advance!

I can't help with where you should buy them, but check out Badger's Stynylrez primers for airbrushes.

So you are looking for a source that sells those paints? or alternatives to those paints.

Createx makes a wonderful acrylic paint designed for airbrushing. They have pearls, fluorescent, candies and regular opaque colors. They airbrush beautifully and can be used with a regular brush.

Badger Stynelrez primers are IMO the best in the business as far as AB primers are concerned and you aren't limited to just black, white or grey either.

Without starting my own thread, are there any alternatives to the Citadel paints? I would very much like to continue using Castellan Green + Warpstone Glow on my Salamanders, but I find it simpler to paint, especially larger models, with just airbrush followed by detail and cleanup.

Is it viable or even preferable to reduce the standard Citadel paints? I haven't had much luck with the few I tried and they are also quite expensive to just keep trying. And if they are not viable, are there any good airbrush ready paints that match their colors?

Thanks.

competitionminis.com sells a variety of airbrush paints used for miniature toy soldier painting at reasonable prices.

Just thin the paint you have and you'll be good to go.

Sells those paints. I could do Amazon, but I would prefer to support someone else with my purchase.
