I presently don't have a job. so money's tight. that's kind of what got me on this site. I wanted more for LNOE but presently couldn't afford more expansions :P Definitely planning on buying them as soon as some income starts coming in though! Acrylic paint is the way to go. I've been using them for 25 years (God how did that happen?) anyway. Games Workshop If money was no object I would go for Games Workshop. Yes they are expensive but their paints are great quality. Volume: 0.4 fluid ounces per pot (12ml) Cost: £2.40 or $4.04 per pot Link: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Pain...6598808416 MSP (Reaper Miniatures) A cheaper company I can recommend is MSP (Reaper Miniatures). I've been sent samples of this paint. Volume: 0.5 fluid ounces per pot link (14ml) Cost: £1.95 or $3.29 per pot Link: http://www.reapermini.com/Paints/corecolors Vallejo I have used a few of these paints as samples in the past. They come highly recommended by many painters. Volume: 0.6 fluid ounces per pot link (17ml) Cost: per pot about £1.75 or $2.95 (as far as I'm aware though they can only be bought in sets) [b]Link: http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/mo.../family/15 Now who to go with? I can only tell you from my experience. I use GW mainly because that's what I've always used and I've never had a problem with their paint range. Plus I'm not prepared to shell out for another entire range. If I were just starting out and I was on a budget I would probably go for Vallejo if I were you. Vallejo Paints Pros Cheapest paint. More Paint per pot. High quality and well recommended. Largest range of colours. Cons May be hard to get hold of in your local hobby shops. Online should be fine though. Happy gaming and I hope this helped (took me bloody ages!) |
