Finally going to Try some Reaper master Series Paints

[pest947]

I havent seen much feedback on these yet and none of the LGS carry them yet. So I bit the bullet and ordered 3 sets of shade, mid, hightlight.

Getting the Olibe green set(To touch up the Dipped Nids I bought)

The Deep Red for my Grey knights and storm troopers

The Gold just becuase I heard these were some of the best mettalics.

I\'m looking forward to getting them and will post when I try them out.

 

[Equus]

Sounds good. What little I\'ve heard has all been positive so far. Let us know what you think.

I tried some flesh cause I liked there old flesh consistancy just not the bottle at one time but I felt the were kinda runny for my magic wash syndrome

Tracy, don\'t thin them as much as you do the Vellajo. MSP\'s are not as pigment intensive, but they have the strongest binder I have found. They don\'t rub off like Vellajo or GW. In fact, they don\'t want to come off of my ceramic pallet either.

Some of the early releases has a glossy problem and a few rare bottles had clotted for some reason or another, but if you send them back, Reaper will replace them.

I am anxious to try them, I started to put a whole set of model color together but thats just too many colors to deal with and has slowed me down. Also I am getting used to the Game color consitancy which I heard Reaper master is close to, but with better coverage.

If I do end up liking the paint and want to convert any idea what is the best way to sell off my Model Color paints many of which are barelt less than 5% if at all used?

I saw a whole display of them...

at my local gaming store.

If I didn\'t have so many paints at home, I would be tempted.

Do they still have the \"gruesome severed head in every bottle\" as an agitator? Since I have to put some sort of bead or something in every bottle of paint I buy, it would be nice to have it pre done.

 

[airhead]

Vike, there are agitators in every bottle.

What I really like are the 9 shades of flesh that you can pick any spot along the line and work up and down from.

when i ordered some minis from reaper i got a free sample with that tiny skull in it so i guess they still include them

 

[Pirate_Wench]

I\'m still saving up for the first set they released and now they\'ve goneand put out the second series of colours on me there are some great looking greens in the range

 

[supervike]

I\'m sold...

They seem to have everything I\'m looking for in paint, so given they are much easier for me to get around here, I will definately make my next paint purchase with Reaper.

 

[pest947]

Well I tried them and Love them, just a couple of colors from Game color that I will have to keep like Camo Green.

Otherwise they are awesome, great coverage, not too think or thin and like everyone else has said the metallics are especially good.

Now my biggest question is how to get rid of my Model and game color paints to make room for the reaper paints.

Most of them are barley touched, dosent seem to be much of a market on ebay for them either. Any ideas?

 

[airhead]

give them to a new painter?

Personally, I\'d hang on to your current paints, at least until you\'ve replaced all the colors you currently have. You never know when you might just need that one particular shade.

As for what to do with them afterwards... If you have other friends that are into painting, they\'re prime targets for donations. Selling used paints isn\'t easy, so you\'ll most likely have to give them away, or just hang on to them.

Depending on the colors of VMC you have, I\'d be willing to take a few off your hands...
