I've noted in a few of the recent posts that I picked up a few bottles of Vallejo's version of the contrast paint product they call Xpress Color. I originally found four at the local hobby store and was told that they were hard to get and keep in stock. After the holiday the jackpot was hit as the local hobby store had another 18 colors in stock. According to Vallejo's literature there's a total of 52, so I only have about half. Plus there are 8 "Intense" colors which I haven't seen on the store shelf - only in Vallejo's marketing literature.
Making a color swatch on a piece of paper isn't really possible so I figured it was best to see how these really performed on a model. Therefore I grabbed a handful or two of modern Bones from past Kickstarters that I was never going to actually use in a medieval fantasy game that I run.
All miniatures were airbrushed with a white primer.
Here's what I have so far...
Velvet Red - Reaper Miniatures Deadlands Noir: Femme Fatale - 91011
I've put all these models on a little riser shelf on the side of where I paint so that I can reference them as needed. One note that I did notice after the paint dried that some of them had air bubbles in the paint with the Black Lotus color being the worst of the group. I'll need to watch and determine if that's something I'm doing or a characteristic of the paint itself.
Kickstarter paint total 182 + 22 paint sample figs = 204
