What are people buying?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, heard about this from Neil as well.

Hmm, wonder how they respond to varnish? I do own one pot of GW Contrast paint that I bought to paint a mostly black unit of arabs and its worked really well.

Thanks for posting the link Mr Goat. I have watched several ‘reviews’ and this was not mentioned in any of them. The reactivation is a deal breaker for me and has saved me from finding out the expensive way.

[DougM]

Yep. I was hanging out for these as well, but that's a problem for me. If they reactivate it's not good.

This was the response from Army Painter

Another review suggests that thin highlights and such aren't an issue, though touching up basecoats is more likely to cause bleedthrough.

Think I’ll stick with my trusty Vallejos and Scale 75’s. Think I’m too old to learn new painting processes

[tim.w]

Yeah my facebook is a wash with different groups commenting on this. I'm with the cave dweller, will give them a miss. Will just buy the individual contrast paints I need and they're much more available in local shops too.

I'm happy with contrasts and the odd Scale 75 Instant colour. I think that you can still highlight or spray varnish over Speedpaints but I wouldn't risk brush varnishing.

Ordered some carded charcoal-coloured cotton, aiming for good smoke effects.
