Games Workshop new Foundation Paint

I just picked up the newly released GW Foundation paint which is touted as "best coverage" in the industry, and can cover over black primer even with the likes of yellow and red. At $48 a box for the entire range (individual colors will be available later) it may seem steep, but with 18 colors the price worked out to be about the same as Vallejo.

Other told me that this kinda paint is using a liquid pigment instead of the normal powdery stuff. An additional benefit is that being liquid it won't separate from the solvent, so should stay "evenly mixed" even if it's sitting on the shelf. It's also implied that it won't dry out as much but that remains to be seen.

On the painting table now is 4 of the Fellowship figures from the original Fellowship of the Ring boxset (I am just painting the warlike folks, so just Gandolf, Gimli, Legolas, & Aragorn. Boromir has already been painted and hobbits are useless for puting together Legions of Middleearth games). I used the light grey color from the new set (called Astronomican Grey, don't ask me, perhaps some 40k player can enlighten me on what that means) to do Gandolf's beard...

Since I do not do black prime (never liked it), I am not really testing the coverage, but rather just to try it out. The texture of paint is very different from "normal" acrylic paint (Normal are stuff like Vallejo, regular GW, Ral Partha, & Howard Hues. paints I have used in the past). It's a lot more "goo-y", "plastic-y". It doesn't flow as much (by adding similar amount of flow agent), so one gets better control, but will take used to if you are into a much more "water-y" consistency like stains and inks (which is my regular painting MO). So I think these paint will not be my mainstay paints, but rather used for specific purposes that requires coverage (i.e. painting spearshafts, faces on some dark background, or highlights).

Another comment, they smell like acrylic house paints (maybe the liquid pigment is something used in that medium?)

Lastly, WARNING! These guys drys very fast. I found out the hardway when I finished the color, wet my brush like I normally do (didn't thoroughly clean it), next thing I know the brushhead is caked up and turning plastic. I suspect these paints will be much harder on your brushes than normal stuff so be careful.

Off to vacation next week so likely no hobby update. Hopefully get the fellowship figures done before I leave...
