About this deal

The green remains consistent between pot -> layer 1 -> layer 2 and the initial coverage is the best out of the 4 paints here. Some people with a good eye (not me) spotted that Caliban Green wasn’t a 1:1 match up with the Dark Angels Green that it replaced. I've already tried Army Painter Angel Green and I wasn't impressed by how thick it goes on even at 14" away. The Citadel Air paints pair seamlessly with the rest of the Citadel Colour range, featuring a thinner formulation that makes them work perfectly with airbrushes.

Which looks pretty rad, in fact it looks real close to what I remember the old Citadel paint looking like. Full tracking of what you have read so you can skip to your first unread post, easily see what has changed since you last logged in, and easily see what is new at a glance. I painted in the rest of the colours at this point (I’ll make a list at the end if you want to replicate it) and washed the model with Army Painter Dark Tone (nuln oil for you Gee Dub converts).Ok, seriously before we start talking about this article, all I intended to do was try instar vintage paint and say ‘its good, bad, cool and good, etc’. As you suggest, those which are the same as their Surface Primer range are designed for military vehicles, and will be a bit dully/earthy in comparison. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I couldn’t find a good picture of the bottle by itself and I forgot to take one before writing the article because I’m a pro. I don't know any other companies that have a similar colour in their spraycan range but to be fair I haven't looked very hard.

It feels more latex like than the other paints, which is dead-on for how I remember the old citadel paints ‘feeling’. We will resolve the issue by sending you replacement items or parts wherever we can or we will offer you an immediate refund if you prefer. Thicker than the VGC coats and Instar Matte but not necessarily in a bad way if that makes any sense. It’s also cheap as heck for what you get, the 50ml bottle cost me very little and would do an entire army with ease, so mission accomplished Instar! I don’t think this a bad thing though as I normally put down a thin 3 rd layer after I black wash the model, so no harm, no foul on that front.

We will resolve the issue by sending you replacement items or parts wherever we can and prefer to do this rather than provide a refund.

I’m no Lupe, Richp, Brin or Booley but I feel that an everyday painter can have some insights on a review for other everyday painters. This is because it’s not really a layer-ed on paint and totally not because I haven’t figured out how to use it.All we ask is the product still be in its original packaging and you have your proof of purchase and we'll be happy to help.
