It's just that the claim that paint is paint, it's all the same stuff just isn't correct. I have used a variety of paints, I use some paint from tubes, I have a cheap set of acrylics, as well as oil paints, a couple of expensive artist's acrylic white tubes. There's no need to be passive-aggressive about it. Or keep paying more for paint, pointlessly. The Citadel ones get a bad rap, strangely, but that seems to be entirely down to the design of the pots. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Citadel Paints and Vallejo. I found the coverage to be not great, so they were frustrating to use. I just don't like their basic dropper bottle paints. Well, actually the brand does some great stuff - their spray cans are very good, and their dip varnish is top tier. To be honest, I haven't used very many of them, but that's because the ones I used were not great, so I have avoided the brand since. Kitsan, regarding Army Painter paints, in my honest opinion they're not top-line paints. Kitsan is looking for advice, not fringe theories. Most people on this board use miniature paints. I don't think you're in the majority with your "paint is paint" philosophy either.
Funnily enough, miniature paints are a LOT better for painting miniatures, it's not all a con to sell paints in smaller pots for more money. Vallejo are mostly more like Citadel paints to use, and most give good coverage straight out of the bottle, or can be thinned for more precise work.įrom my experience, Vallejo metallics are rubbish (although I've heard good things about their Airbrush metallics) - I tend to use Coat D'Arms and P3 for metals, rather than Army Painter, so I couldn't say if AP is any better.Ĭheap hobby paints are not the same as miniature paints.
So far as Army Painter vs Vallejo - Army Painter colours tend to be thinner, and so need more coats - which is fine if you paint that way anyway. If you can find good craft paints, they'll be fine for general table-top use, but it can be a bit of a lucky dip to find those good paints. And yes, many people get perfectly acceptable results from cheap craft paints, although I tend to relegate them to terrain and basing use, and stick with the model-painting ranges for actual models. and pigment particle size, opacity, viscosity, adhesion, drying time, durability, longevity of the brand, surprise, fear, ruthless efficiency.īut other than that, no, there's no essential difference. There's no essential difference between Army Painter, Vallejo, Citadel and dollar-store acrylics except the branding and availability of colours.
