🇵🇱 [PL] Czołem! Ostatnio wspominałem o nowym zestawie farb metalicznych od Vallejo, więc od razu musiałem sprawdzić, jak prezentują się w akcji. Na warsztat wziąłem jednego ze Stormcast Eternalów z Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, który od dawna czekał na lepsze czasy.

Efekt przerósł moje oczekiwania – te farby są świetne, a Metallic Blue totalnie skradł moje serce. Wygląda jeszcze lepiej na żywo niż na zdjęciach, daje naprawdę wyjątkowy połysk i głębię.

Sprawdźcie sami – czy te kolory nie robią wrażenia?

🇺🇸 [ENG] Hey everyone! Recently I mentioned getting a new set of metallic paints from Vallejo, so I just had to try them out in practice. I picked up a Stormcast Eternal miniature from Warhammer: Age of Sigmar that had been waiting for some attention on my desk.

The results totally exceeded my expectations—these paints are fantastic, and Metallic Blue has instantly become my new favorite. It looks even better in real life than it does in photos, with great shine and depth.

Take a look for yourself—don’t these colors just pop?

On the one hand, I've got a free £10 voucher for the Games Workshop online store and I need a few paints (where my old Citadel flip tops finally dried out).

On the other hand… £4.75 PER POT?!

Also, the pictures are crap because they're a gradient in a pot shape and not any kind of real photo of the actual colour. They could be anywhere on that scale!

Continued thread

And I'm sure some of the colours have changed over time (where they haven't just entirely renamed them four times since I started in the mid-1990s) but they've still got Striking Scorpion Green. And I remember it being REALLY bright. Like "point highlight on a goblin" bright. But now it looks like it might be somewhere around the old Snot Green? Darker than old Goblin Green.

Back to the depths of the Blackstone Fortress, this time we're fleeing from the horror of the Dreaded Ambull and its Borewyrm infestations. Once again the Contrast Paints are doing a lot of heavy lifting here, with some edge highlights on the carapace.

Continuing the Gellerpox Infected kill team, we have the murderous, butchering Fleshscreamer. A great selection of mouths and faces on one model, and once again making full use of Citadel Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints to create quick and easy blends, rather than layers and layers of glazes (Contrast mixed with Vallejo's Glaze Medium is awesome!).

Finally done with the #Stormdrakes and the #KnightDraconis

I didn't realize how big of a project the #Stardrake / #Stormdrake could be, but after a year + on my desk, from assembly to painting, to disassembly, to repainting, and a whole lot of back and forth, they seem to be landing well.

Continuing the Gellerpox Infected kill team, delving into the depths with Bloatspawn. I really love the ease with which blends can be created with Citadel Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints, really makes the whole process quicker.
