Yes, there are much better colours out there. Citadel has good quality, but lack in variety. Try looking for Reaper Master Series paints, or Vallejo paints.

SENMM (sky earth NMM) gives the illusion of a mirror-polished surface reflecting the surrounding terrain. Search for images using those acronyms and you'll see what I mean.


As for paints, GW's offerings are pretty good, in terms of both quality and the size/variety of the range. Value is where they primarily fall short of the competition (highest cost, smallest volume). Although some also gripe about the pots (specifics of the design, as well as their general use instead of dropper bottles), they aren't the only hobby brand to use them.

Along with Reaper (notable for their "triad" system) and Vallejo (the biggest range, by far, when you include all of their lines - VGC, VMC, VMA, Panzer Aces, mediums, etc.), Privateer Press (makers of Warmachin and Hordes) has their P3 line. Army Painter's Warpaints have gained some traction since their introduction, as well. All of those lines have received plenty of favorable reviews, but paints are largely a matter of personal preference. The behavior of individual colors varies within a line, as much as one line generally differs from another. You'll have to try different paints out and see what you like, but any of the usual suspects are reasonable places to start.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547819/5980418.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547819/5980418.page GMT Metal effects and other questions
To work with them, you'll need a ceramic palette(easier to clean), 97%(ideally 99%) isopropyl alcohol(for diluting the paint, since water causes the pigment to rust), and a decent quality synthetic brush(since alcohol-based paint will ruin natural hair brushes). It's well worth the hassle, however.

You can see an example and get some tips on using them on this guy's blog.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547819/5980587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547819/5980587.page GMT
