So with the new paints coming soon (well not so much for as I live in the cold nethher regions of Canada and the mail will be slow) I have decided to see how well this new system of paint types works by getting back at my Night Lords. I ordered all the paints I think I will need from all the catagories as well as the book and new brushes with the intention of painting up a squad of raptors that needs finishing and try to match as close as possible what is already done in the army. I will take step by step photos of the process, as well as photos of the squad I have already finished for comparison of the new paints versus the old paints. I will use this to do a small review on whether or not this has all made it easier, as well as a review of the book and the dvd.
Now for the "Challenge". I am interested in seeing how many other people are interested in doing the same thing so we can kind of make community review out of it so that it can be as apprehensive as possible. Another benefit of this is that we can have painters of many skills do the same thing and find out if it is a bigger change for different skill levels.
I myself am an average painter. My models look nice on the tabletop, but are not going to win many awards so I am very interested in seeing if the ability to skip things like mixing and making my own colors and glazes will improve my quality, as well as seeing if the kind of order the new paint range has created for painting step by step is helpful.
So anyone else interested in this? No rush to get started as I do not expect to see my paints before Easter Monday, and will need a couple of days to get organzied once they do arrive.
