The pots - will all have the prop-open system like the washes (no more tooth picks). New sealing system will apparently stop too much leakage and drying (we'll see...)
Base - these seem as good as the foundation range. The white in particular was quite impressive in covering a black undercoated space marine. Will be useful for quick jobs and beginners, hard to judge mid-to-higher expertise level uses at present.
Layer - seem to be ok, but only time will tell with these. Some nice looking new colours.
Shade - as good as current washes and the new colours look reasonable.
Glaze - interesting consistency on these, very thin but the pigment is tight so they could be a revelation to people not already using transparent mediums.
Dry - cottage cheese for painters.
Texture - grainy paint: nothing amazing, but there might be some interesting uses in creating rough skin on large monsters. Weathering mediums and powders might do this better though.
Technical - none of these were in the trial pots.
Supply - apparently each UK store will be getting 12 of each colour in the initial batch so pre-ordering is advised.
Hope that's useful folks!
I am looking forward to a foundation style white I think that will be a boon to many players.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thoughts
A pleasure - you're welcome.
DeleteI have some spare time tomorrow so I may actually take the time to paint a whole figure in-store, see how it works out.
The Textures would be for doing bases. Instead of using sand then painting the sand, you use the textures to paint the base directly.

Yes, that's what they're being marketed as. I'm interested to see if they have any other worthwhile applications.
