This is a review of the new technical paints from Citadel and a tutorial on how I painted the above Skeleton. More after the jump.

I've used a skeleton for a exam model. He was sprayed white and then washed with Seraphim Sepia. His blade and loin cloth were painted with Rhinox Hide and his bronze armour was painted with Hashut Copper. Lets see if the new technical paints tin turn him into something cool.

Ryza Rust

This is a dry compound paint. If you lot're unfamiliar with this range then it's substantially a really thick paint. it has no fluidity. It's been specifically designed to be dry brushed. Dry brushing is where you load upwardly a brush with pigment and then wipe off 95% of the paint on a tissue and and then castor across the raised area of a model. I establish that stippling was more than constructive in applying this paint. I fabricated my stipple castor by taking an old brush and cutting the beard down. To stipple you your stipple castor tip into the paint, and so a couple of dabs onto a tissue and and then y'all dab away at the area you wish to cover. This rust effect is quite nice and completely different to Modelmate's rust effect.

Typhus Corrosion

Typhus Corrosion is a technical paint with the consistency of a shade merely with grit in the paint like a texture paint. Having spoken to Stahly, he says it'due south exactly the aforementioned as Vallejo Game Color Smokey Ink. I've used it hither to dirty up the brass. I recollect it will be a great paint for vehicles. If yous program on using it for vehicles and so buy lots.

Nihilakh Oxide

Apart from the proper noun looking like a bad mitt at Scrabble this pigment is a technical paint it's actually fluid similar a shade only has the opacity of a layer pigment. So you go a nice stiff colour that runs into the recesses. It's actually a really practiced upshot and works really well. I recall it works slightly amend then watering down a turquoise colour as well. To apply the paint use a detail brush and paint information technology in the areas yous desire it. Don't paint it all over, information technology's also much.

Agrellan Earth

Despite numerous tests and waiting hours. My paint didn't crack. Really disappointed. I'm returning  the paint. I'll post my opinions on it once I receive a replacement. I actually hope this is limited to this pot or a minor number. The edges of the base were painted with Steel Legion Drab.

Blood for the Blood God

This has got to be the coolest name for a paint ever. I'm a big fan of Tamiya articulate red. And then this has a lot to live upwards to. Initial impression opening the pot is it's not translucent similar Tamiya clear read. Information technology'due south opaque. To apply information technology to the model I loaded up a brush held the model over some one-time newspaper placed the castor in forepart of my mouth and with quick sharp puff of breath I added spatter to the model. A little too much spatter to the shield simply it kinda looks cool. It's dried a picayune translucent and information technology is gloss and looks wet. This is a cheaper, easier to obtain alternative to Tamiya clear carmine but I yet adopt Tamiya'southward equivalent. I wonder what Blood Angel armour would wait like painted with this paint?

Nurgle'south Rot

This thick, gloopy, gloss paint is suppose to represent pus and bile. The colour is yellowy green and quite bright. Whilst it is thick, I kinda wished the consistency was like the slime yous got every bit a kid with your ghostbuster toys. I wanted to drip it on to the models and let information technology dry dripping off the model. This won't do that sadly. Yous just pigment information technology on and yous become shiny green goo effect. Information technology does dry out slightly transparent on raised areas. To use this paint simply slap information technology on thick with an former brush. Doesn't have also long to dry which is good. So the example above isn't a skillful example so below yous can run into a improve example of how this paint looks.

Determination

I was slightly skeptical when the new paints were announced, considering I have existing paints and methods to achieve these effects. Even so I am really impressed with them (except Agrellan Earth). The only pigment I think that is truly unnecessary is Ryza Rust. It isn't a truthful rust paint. I remember this would have been improve if information technology was an orange texture paint (fine grit in it). Being a dry out castor paint doesn't make sense. You wouldn't dry out brush the rust because that would pick up on the raised edges. Rust settles where water settles, typically in recesses but stippling fixes that, nonetheless, you can stipple whatever orange paint and get the aforementioned issue. Typhus Corrosion and Ryza Rust volition make a practiced combo for Orks though.

I took a basic three color tournament legal painted skeleton and turned it into something much libation using every single one of these new paints. It was fast and simple. Imagine an army painted like this? Wouldn't have long and would look pretty effective.

Overall, the paints become a thumbs up from me and I look forwards to experimenting with them more in the time to come.
