Mooi compleet set

All inizio ero dubbio so sull acquisto di questi colori,ma dopo aver visto un buon numero di video su youtube mi sono convinto ad acquistare un kit di Army Painter per testare i loro prodotti.Nella scatola sono presenti 50 colori suddivisi in colori semplici,metallici e lavaggi,e' inoltre presente una guida su come utilizzare al meglio le tinte ed un pennello army painter.La qualita' delle tinte e' veramente ottimale,paragonabile credo alle piu' rinnomate Vallejo ed il kit fornisce il tutto ad un prezzo veramente competitivo,la mistura e' corposa e se stesa,e' molto coprente.Inoltre il tono dei singoli colori,e' lo stesso dello spray Army paint che puo' essere utilizzato come primer.Un unico accorgimento prima di utilizzare queste(ed anche altre) tinte.Se non usate da diverso tempo,per farle rendere al meglio,provate a mettere l'intero tubicino a "mollo" in acqua tiepida per qualche minuto,inoltre (ed e' la procedura che ho fatto io) ho acquistato sempre via Amazon,delle sfere metalliche da 0,6cm,da inserire all interno dei singoli contenitori di colore,cosi' facendo ogni qual volta dovro' usarli,bastera' agitarli per qualche secondo per movimentare la vernice nel loro interno e non permettere il deposito dei pigmenti alla base del contenitore.Cosi' facendo la resa (con 7 euro di spesa) sara' incredibilmente maggiore! =)

I ordered the Army Painter Mega 50 Paint set on Amazon for getting back into painting fantasy/scifi/historical miniatures.On unboxing I verified I received all paint colors, washes, metal, and skin tones. Everything was included as listed in the description and on the top cover of the box. The included brush appears good, and the triangular handle is super comfortable. Set included a painting guide, catalog, and instructions regarding preparing the paints for first time use (important: must dispense/empty top medium before use) see photo. The box is nice, and the trays hold all of the paints with room to hold more in an empty tray provided. I was thinking I would need to buy a special case, box, or paint storage solution, but this box is pretty nice and I plan on using it for storing these!I had just used this brand of paints at a intro to mini painting clinic/class at my local game store. I found them to be good quality. Using thinning, wet palette, dry brushing, and layering techniques is key to these paints. They are not as fast drying or "one coat" as some other brands or product options from Army Painter, but honestly, these are very minor subjective observations. Taking the time to build up layers and patience I think is key. Would work well for quick basic paint jobs to get minis on the table as well if used that way.Set comes woth lots of colors, some washes, and metalics to get started on many minis of typical design. The metalics are nice for armor/weapons. The provided white/black and so many simular tones make blending/mixing colors for variation pretty easy. The washes I think need some thinning, but I am out of practice by some decades.This set did not come with a primer or ball bearings for mixing.I painted fantasy miniatures as a kid in the 80's back when minis were still made of lead, and only the Elder Gods know what those paints were made of. It is nice to see the new products are less toxic.I am happy with this purchase and think it is a good starter set for getting into the hobby.

It’s really good the paints doesn’t dry up and can be used for a long time

In an attempt to coax myself into a hobby I used to have years ago I was looking for paint sets to get myself jumpstarted back into model painting so here are my thoughts:VALUE FOR MONEY- by far this is one of the best sets of paints when it comes to value per paint, separately each paint is £2-£3 (UK) which totalled up would be a hefty £150, however at £99 youre saving over £50! which (as many mini painters will tell you) is a great bargain.PAINT QUALITY- (WHEN ARRIVED) Sadly for me this was minus 1 point on behalf of The Army Painter, due to a shipping delay (COVID-19) when my paints arrived they were horribly separated into the pigments and medium that make up the acrylic. The blue pigments being the worst affected by this.- (WHEN IN USE) I have found that some of the paints in this set have some of the best coverage of most brands of matte acrylics, with some standouts being their; Pure Red and Goblin Green (very similar in colour to the original Games Workshop Goblin Green!) thinned with small amounts of water these will stretch far over your models and give them some really vibrant colour.-(metallics) Their metallic paints are a little lacklustre, with the shiny paint flakes coming off onto your hands even when the paint is dry, this makes handling the models (for games or for display) difficult. DO NOT USE EXPENSIVE BRUSHES WITH THE METALLIC PAINTS, due to the concentration of the paint reflective flakes they will cling almost indefinitely to your authentic hair brushes, use old or cheap synthetic brushes when using metallic paints.-(washes and "tones") The 4 tone washes that come in this set are really quite good washes in terms of coverage, however, they DO NOT dry matte. using the "Dark Tone", when it dries it leaves a glossy oily sheen to the areas you applied it to. This is no bother if you intend to paint over it, but is a bother if you wanted a matte finish to your models.EASE OF USE- Its no secret that the "dropper bottle" is superior to the pot paints, it allows for greater control over the longevity of the paint and also means you don't have to sacrifice the ferrules of your brushes to scoop paint.- I would highly recommend buying a paint/ink pigment shaker as I have found that when left unattended for a longer period of time e.g. an extended vacation, the pigments will separate from the medium.REGIMENT BRUSH (FREE GIFT IN THE BOX)- The Regiment Brush is by far the beginners best asset in this box. The brush is a non-synthetic that uses real hair for the bristles. The ferrule is wonderful and tight preventing the bristles to fray and bend out of shape. The brush shape is great for most general painting as well as being able to achieve a great outcome on detail work too, rolling the brush gently on paper towel will help you to achieve a very fine tip. The triangular bush handle is wonderfully ergonomic and fits gracefully into most hand shapes.SUMMARY TL:DR-very good paint set for beginners or returning veterans-paint coverage is very good-metallics and tones are 50/50 good and bad.-Regiment Brush is a must and a great general and detail brush.

Ce set de peintures acryliques est vraiment très bien. Les teintes proposées couvrent pratiquement toute la palette utile et peuvent être mélangées aisément.Moi, qui dans les temps anciens, était habitué aux difficultés posées par les peintures "Enamel" (Humbrol), je découvre le plaisir de ces couleurs qui se diluent à l'eau et sèchent rapidement.La boîte est elle-même très bien conçue, avec des petits plateaux de rangement en plastique transparent (10 emplacements peuvent accueillir les couleurs que vous achèterez par la suite). Très pratique.On a droit à 39 couleurs à l'eau, 5 peintures métalliques d'excellente qualité (du bronze à l'or), 4 "Quickshades" qui permettent de faire des lavis (ombrages) en quelques secondes pour faire ressortir les détails, et deux "effets spéciaux" (sang dégoulinant et rouille sèche).Plus un pinceau de taille moyenne idéal pour passer vos teintes de base, et il est très bon, contrairement à ce que dit un autre commentateur. Prévoyez néanmoins d'autres pinceaux pour les détails et le dry-brushing.Je le répète, toutes les peintures sont de très bonnes qualité, les acryliques se diluent et mélangent superbement. Vous serez d'ailleurs obligé de diluer systématiquement ces couleurs, celles-ci étant un peu épaisses au sortir de leur flacon. Mais ce n'est pas un défaut.Au fait, ces tubes en plastique sont très bien pensés. Ils permettent de doser parfaitement la quantité de peinture dont vous avez besoin à la goutte près et éviteront à vos pots de sécher trop vite si vous oubliez de les reboucher.Je n'ai pas de vraies critiques à formuler pour ce kit, juste quelques remarques.L'assortiment de peinture étant prévu pour des figurines médiévales-fantastiques, les teintes ternes et verdâtres sont prédominantes.Les couleurs "primaires" sont assez mal représentées. Le jaune le plus vif (Demonic Yellow) est un peu fade, par exemple.Le petit guide de peinture inclus dans la boîte est malheureusement en anglais et détaille insuffisamment comment doivent être appliquées les Quickshades, il faut aller sur le Net pour en savoir plus.Il n'y a pas de vernis dans cette boîte. Ni d'apprêt. Dommage.Si vous tenez à vos œuvres, vous avez tout intérêt à en acheter. Pourquoi pas le vernis mat de The Army Painter, "Anti-shine", qui n'est pas trop cher.A part ça, pour un wargamer ou un joueur de rôle, soigneux et appliqué, ce super kit promet des dizaines d'heures de fun.Chaudement recommandé.
