But am just Dad, my day it was Testers & I was very good at it, now you have 'wash' & 'ink'. To me its a new Company that will be #1 in 5 years, Even investing in Stock, (what do I know about stock?). 4th, Attractive Bottles, Clarity, the colored caps for a Purpose, 5th, - 6oz bottles, more?. That looks to me Amazingly easy to focus on painting. I'm Dad Buying for my 14age Daughter, I live in a Mobile home trailer but I spent a lot of my money on her than my bills, She has the Complete set of 'Conan Kickstarter' & the Complete set of 'Mythic Battle Pantheon,' (Core, Pandora, Expansions,) She loves reading Greek Mythology, That was how it started, (It's Wonderful to see a young person love to read, always encourage that in a child,) To the Point, not knowing what to buy, I bought all the Army Painters wash, Ink, Effects, & Colors, (80 Bottles) My thoughts on how I made my Decision was 1st, - was the Eye drop Bottle, (No Brainer) 2nd, - there web site shows Growth & investment to be a reputable Company, There Web site looks Awesome, & 3rd, - *(my favorite reason) The Paint names are so cool listed on the Bottles to help a young person new to it to in-joy painting, Example, The colors 'Old Boots' brown for boots 'Were Wolf Fur' for wolves 'Disgusting Slime', 'Wet Mud', 'Hemp Rope' & so on & so on. They will make your painting look much better with only a tiny amount of effort. Army painted strong tone (brown) and dark tone (black) are the same as the old citadel devlan mud and badab black, and they're amazing. Both will last a decent while if you take care of them (And my god, you need to take care of your brushes!) and are fairly cheap, about ВЈ3ish I think.

I'd go for citadel, or army painter brushes. As for brushes, you want something decent, but not top tier. In general, citadel is expensive for what you get, so I'd recommend shying away, but its up to you, they've apparently improved stuff with their new range. I'd recommend vallejo - Lovely paints, fairly cheap. What are you painting to begin with? Death Marshal? Then get a brown, a black, a silver, a skintone and possibly a green or blue for the flames from the coffin. You need loads of various colours, but I'd recommend getting them as and when when you need them. I'd shy away from getting a 'Starter set' of paints, because it's quite expensive to begin with.

Texture paint is terrible - stay away from it. For all the standard stuff, I don't really buy GW anymore, as it isn't any better quality, and you get less paint for more money. Tough to beat their foundation paints, and their drybrush paint is handy too. Not a weakness per se, but it means you likely need to supplement it with other ranges. Haven't had any issues with the basic colours, but the range is a bit limited compared to the competition. Their metallics got great reviews in particular but I haven't had much of a chance to mess around with them. Nice selection, good colour matches with GW's old range (important for some people) and good quality.ДЄrmy painter is good too.

I also find that because they don't colour match GW as much as Vallejo, they have some interesting colours that always catch my eyes.

Reaper is great, and has the triads of colours making highlighting a breeze. Army painter washes are great if you got used to GW's devlan mud and babab black washes from their old range.
