Anybody tried the Dragon Red for Crimson slaughter army?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/738776/9591334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/738776/9591334.page GMT
A tip though - never use army painter stuff if it's humid. It will effect the paint, and cause misery.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/738776/9591344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/738776/9591344.page GMT
1) The black and white basic primers are the least consistent of the bunch. Sometimes they're good, sometimes just okay (haven't had a really bad can). You're probably better off using another black or white primer (their grey is quite good though)
2) The colours are superb, but I have noticed minor colour discrepencies over a year or two (when they changed bottle types). My necrotic flesh is slightly different out of a two year old can vs. the current ones I have.
3) The colours are fantastic, and why anyone base-coats by hand if the colour is available in a can is beyond me.
4) The thickness of the primer/paint means if you spray in high humidity or heat (i.e....where I live) the nozzles gum up pretty easy, so do yourself a favor and buy some spare nozzles.
5) I have the occasional can go bad before it's used up - maybe one out of 10 cans will just fail.

So they're not unfailingly brilliant, but for $12-15 a can...and you can get a LOT of work done out of a can, they're fantastic. If they were a little cheaper I'd be even more enthusiastic.

Colours I've used extensively:
Leather Brown
Fur Brown
Necrotic Flesh
Purple (whatever the basic purple is)
Military/Army Green
Skeleton Bone
White Primer
Black Primer
Desert Yellow
The "not Dark Angels" green
Emerald Blue? (the lighter of the blue)
Anti-Shine
Grey Primer
The brighter yellow
Dragon Red

Have not tried any of their metallics.

One bit of warning - while I swear by the AP spray cans, the two colours I tried purchasing in their actual acryllic bottles...were fething garbage. These were the matching purple, and the matching yellow - both of which are garbage acryllic paints. Water, zero pigment, piss-poor coverage. So their acryllic bottles have yet to win me over, and likely never will. This is a little bit of a pain, meaning I have to vageuly colour match my vallejo paints if I need to touch up a model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/738776/9591729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/738776/9591729.page GMT
