I\'ve got some and think they\'re pretty good. They also have an interesting selection of colours to choose from. Personally, I wouldn\'t exclusively use their paints as my main ones, but just use a few of their colours to mix with my main GW and P3 paints. I\'ve found that for me, GW and the impressive P3 paints are the best for me, as I\'m familiar with how they behave.

When they came out I tried a couple and got hooked. Now they are pretty much all I use (with a very few effect type exceptions from other lines) They play very nicely if you like to layer as a paint style.
Since everyone likes different things in paints, the best way to tell if you will find them good for your painting style is to try them. Pick up a bottle or two of the colors you like most, then you can see how you like them without putting out a big investment without having tried them.

I almost have all the colors in my collection and I like them very much! they don\'t like to be feathered or pushed around as much as the GW or P3 paints but they are great for basecoats, layering and various other things and mistakes can easily be erased by wetting the brush and rubbing the mistake off with gentle pressure. I have however come across a couple bad bottles though, namely my bloodstain red and pure black. They seem to have too much binder or something and they will not cover at all and become grainy if thinned to much where as all my other RMS paints are fine when thinned to the same amount.

Matt, if you think they are defective, send Reaper an email and they will replace them. They are a very good company that way.
I\'ve got a near full set (last I checked... they keep adding....) and use them lots. They have a lot of binder and are perfect for gaming minis. I thin about 1:1 or slightly wetter 2:1 sometimes. Two to 3 coats to get coverage which is about where I like to work.

Just to give a differing opinion.
I have a lot of them but with the ones I have tried I don\'t get the same smooth finish as GW and Vallejo. They seem somehow to put too much different things in their paint. Some lovely colours overall though.
All in all I have only tried maybe 7-8 paints from their range though. Mostly browns and pale flesh.

I have a small selection (20 or so). Couple of thoughts, the eye drop bottles and agitators are nice. They sell in triads of base / shadow / highlight. This is handy for speed painting or painting a large quantity of something.
I had the same problem on the black, GW black is the best I\'ve found and I\'ve tried P3, VGC, and RMS!

Thanks for the comments. I picked 12 colors.
I have all the P3 paints but I do not care much for them. They always seem to separate when I dilute them and do not stay where I put them, even with matte medium. Strange too because I watched Julien Casses\' MM video and he had great control with the paint being very dilute... oh well.
