Vallejo Game Color Advanced Acrylic Paint Set - Assorted Colours (Pack of 16)

Product Information

Game Wash is the range of colors for wash effects and techniques on figures, which can also be used on other surfaces. It is presented with a new formulation that enhances the capillary properties of the product.

Acrylics colors in a matt and opaque, water based formula, especially designed for brush-on use. Each color has been meticulously developed in collaboration with model-painters who specialize in fantasy figures and dioramas. The formulation of these colors has been developed signed taking into account that some of these figures are used in tabletop games, so that Game Color is manufactured with a revolutionary new resin which offers extraordinary resistance to the damage caused by frequent handling. It is recommended to apply Game Color on a previously primed surface. The colors dry rapidly and form a homogenous and self-leveling film while preserving even the smallest detail of a miniature. Game Color presents an extra ordinary adherence on all grounds, such as resin, plastic, steel and white metal. Painting tools are cleaned with water. You have to be careful with the new Game Color varnishes, because they are not water-based, unlike the old ones, but polyurethane-based. Polyurethane varnishes are more durable, but more aggressive and can reactivate Inks, Contrast and Xpress Colors as well as washes and Shade paints and also damage decals. Polyurethane varnishes are useful for preparing models for oil paints and enamel washes, but what’s the reason to put them into an acrylic paint range I don’t know. I don’t think polyurethane varnishes are suitable for the average painter, so maybe that’s a question for Angel. Value & verdict Diverse painting tools: Experiment with different tools to make coloring and drawing more fun and efficient. The Washes and Inks, developed with a new resin, are used for shadows and for the application of colors in layers. When applied over a basecoat, they enter into the folds and grooves of the figure, and instantly brings forth the features.

Get creative and let your imagination run wild. The silver paints are okay, but rather thin, their consistency is more like airbrush paint and much thinner than the old Game Color metallics. You can work with them, but they are not as good as Steel from the Vallejo Model Air series and Steel and Dark Steel from the Mecha Color series. Those are also airbrush paints, but their opacity is higher and they apply more nicely with a brush. Moreover, those three colours correspond very closely to the classic three silver paints from Games Workshop: Mithril Silver, Chainmail, and Boltgun Metal (or Stormhost Silver, Iron Hands Steel, and Leadbelcher for those that aren’t a grizzly Grey Hunter like me), whereas the new Game Color Gun Metal is significantly darker than Leadbelcher, and even darker than Iron Warriors. This is a great game for both children and adults to play. Children can learn the basics of coloring and understand different colors and shades. Adults, on the other hand, will appreciate the beautiful artwork and the chance to relax and unwind for a while. More Games Like This Bring color to your life with our beautiful Color Games.

Game Color metallics review Let’s take a look at the washes. These didn’t change very much at all and should be consistent with their old versions, but for some reason, Vallejo removed the green and grey wash, and added a yellow wash instead. While the colours themselves stayed consistent, I did notice that they flow better than the old washes, I heard they switched to a medium based on the new Xpress Color formula. Scaling patterns (default) are better for maps with small subdivisions, like the detailed maps or the US counties map. Nonscaling patterns can look better when you have a small number of patterns in your map, as they stand out more. Let’s take a look at the 80 regular acrylic paints first. These cover most bases from all primary and secondary colours, bone, brown and skintone colours, and greyscale paints as well.

The number of each color is shown in your palette at the bottom of the screen. Use those colors to fill in the corresponding squares on your image until you have a vibrant picture! Personally, I prefer the formula of the new Xpress Colors, and I’m not sure whether having two almost identical products in a single paint range was really necessary. I would have preferred the Inks to be migrated to the Xpress Color range instead, but that’s just me. Remember, when painting miniatures it’s not always about right or wrong, but different approaches that are all equally valid. There are many roads that lead to Terra, and if you were an avid user of the old Game Color Inks then you’ll be happy they haven’t changed. Game Color Fluorescent paints review If you are into making alternate history maps, you may find the Hearts of Iron IV, Europa Universalis IV, or world subdivisions maps useful.

Like all our products, they are very versatile and can be applied over any color in the range to create soft shading and contouring effects, to create glazes or filters and to blend transitions between color tones.

And that was the complete new Game Color range in fast forward, except for the 24 Xpress Colors, which I have reviewed in a separate review. World Map: War Games ⚔️ A perfect world map for playing out map games and crafting alternate history scenarios.The new Game Color formulation greatly improves the colors application. The paint spreads very smoothly, is more fluid, opaque and contains a high pigment saturation, chosen for their brightness, maximum stability and resistance to light. The Game Inks also stayed pretty much the same, which is good news for those that liked the old Game Color Inks. However, they removed Brown and Smokey Ink, which of all things were the only ones I was still using, and added a new Magenta Ink, Dark Turquoise Ink, and White Ink instead.
