Added 2021-11-22 00:29:35 +0000 UTCHere comes the completely revised version 2.0 of the first part of my ultimate miniature paint guide.

You will find the pros & cons of the most popular brands like Citadel Colour, Two Thin Coats, Vallejo Game Color (old & new range), Vallejo Model Color, and The Army Painter Warpaints, as well as my favourite colours from each, and which better to avoid.

Comments
Yeah, Scale 75 will be covered in part 2. One thing you have to keep in mind with Scale 75 acrylics are that there are multiple sub-ranges. There is the Scalecolor range with super matt paints (similar to Vallejo Model Color), while the Fantasy & Games range has a more satin and more scratch-resistant finish similar to Citadel, Vallejo, and the likes. I also really like their Aclhemy metallics with their super-fine pigments, especially Black and Thrash Metal, though I tend to use the metallics from Vallejo's Game/Model/Mecha Air ranges more often, plus a few of the better Citadel metallic paints, as the opacity of the lighter Alchemy metallics is a bit weak.

My absolute favorite black is Scalecolor's "Matte Flat Black" and I think their metallics ("Black Metal", "Necro Gold", and "Victorian Gold") are if not the best, one of the best on the market. Like you, i like to mix and match my paints and ScaleColor does have a weird consistency that i think many may not like but something about how matte their colors are is really enjoyable to me.
