Smoke Ring Miniatures

After a few days away from the hobby, finally this weekend I've managed some time to paint eheh Number 16 is Uglúk!!!! And of course, I used seven paints from my brand new Vallejo's. Once again I got to say: THEY'RE FREAKING AWESOME!!! The coverage is extremely good and no brush stroke evidences!! These are the dream eheheheh

With my new Vallejo paints at hand I couldn't wait to use them so, who better than Saruman?? :) This is the number 15 of the GW/Deagostini collection. So here he is: And for the Vallejo section, I've only used 3 paints of them for this miniature: Offwhite, Sand Yellow and Sepia Shade Wash. Well, I need to say that this was my first Vallejo experience, and I already feel grateful to have such quality paints at my disposal. Most people say they're the best, and I'll have to agree! Huge pigmentation, great consistency that makes it easier to mix, a wash that stays in the recesses really easily... A dream for every miniature painter! Sand Yellow rate: 10/10 Offwhite rate: 10/10 Sepia Shade Wash: 9*/10 * Personally, I think that the Vallejo wash is at the same level as the AP quickshade!

So, once again, I'm very excited :D I've received today a parcel from Vallejo, with some paints to make reviews on! This is what they sent me: 8 model color washes 16 model color acrylics - Earthtones Here are the photos and details on the paints: This set contains the following washes: Black Wash Pale Grey Wash Sepia Shade Wash Umber Shade Wash Fleshtone Shade Wash Red Shade Wash Green Shade Wash Blue Shade Wash This set contains the following acrylics: Iraqui Sand Offwhite Ochre Brown Beige Brown Green Brown Middlestone Stone Grey Green Grey Brown Violet Light Orange Sand Yellow 2 bottles of Deck Tan Burnt Umber Medium Grey Dark Grey This is again a very exciting project, and I hope my future reviews may be helpful.

So, this post is just to display my final rating of all the Army Painter products that I've used. The rates are: Quickshade Strong Tone : 8/10 Wargamers most wanted brush set : 10/10 Acrylics : 7/10 Metallics : 9/10 Inks : 9/10 Primers : -/10 My rate 7 on the acrylics is mostly based on the difficulties I've experienced with the Daemonic Yellow in particular. It seems that I could shake the bottle for 10 minutes and still don't have a good consistency on the paint. About the rest of the acrylics, if you give them a very good shake, the results are top quality! About the primers, i didn't get to use them yet so I didn't rate them. In the future (when I make use of them) I'll certainly make a review. I definitely recommend the Army Painter to everyone! It's a really top quality brand, and all I can say is that they got themselves a new customer! So, overall rate: 8,6/10

My final review on the army painter products they sent me :)

Finally I've finished the Rohirrim!! Number 14:

Number 13 is finished :D The amazing horses of the Rohirrim! These were a real fun to paint eheheh For this miniatures I used once again several Army Painter paints! Matt Black, Matt White, Plate Mail Metal, Quicksade Strong Tone, Daemonic Yellow, Leather Brown, Barbarian Flesh, Greenskin and Dragon Red. I really appreciate this brand of paints! They give me just the tone results that I want, and that's really cool for me!
