VMC Failed Me...

I really don't like VMC paints... (Vallejo Model Color) I like the huge selection of paints, but I don't like the way that they're way grainier than Citadel Paints.

For those of you with trained eyes, can you see the difference between the body and the shoulder?

This paint (the VMC) was all applied on top of a watered down coat of Dheneb Stone. I was HIGHLY pleased with that coat...the VMC just sucked. The ratio was 3:3:2ish. Pale Sand, Dark Sand, water. I watered it down a bit more on the palette..but it still seems to have a much higher grain content or something...
My mixes (Interesting huh?)

I also just glued together my first Nob. I'm pleased. This guy will be my Nob Leader or something (not a warboss....) His pose is kinda-commanding huh?

  1. That sucks about the paint, maybe it was a bad bottle. I use VMC almost exclusively and have never had this problem. I wouldn't switch back to GW paints even if they were giving them away free.

  2. Well, I can't comment on the paints because I don't use Vallejo or GW paints...But what I can say is, that Nob has the "Youse want som, come git som" look. Love it. You're very much welcome Chris but let's look at it this way: I can only comment if you post, so I think you deserve more kudos for the fact that you do post your progress so regularly. :) Good on ya mate.
