Product Information

Viking Blue: A vibrant medium blue. It’s not darker as Crystal Blue, as both are almost the same colour. An exact match for GW Teclis Blue. Coverage is slightly below average. My recommended highlight colour: Troglodyte Blue or Voidshield Blue. Wizards Orb: A slightly mooted cool jade green. Slightly lighter than it appears on the colour swatch. It’s pretty much between GW Kabalite and Sybarite Green, so a great colour to transition between both paints. Coverage is excellent. My recommended highlight colour: Elemental Bolt.

Fur Brown: A warm medium brown with a slight nuance of red. Compared to GW Skrag Brown it’s less orange and slightly more muted. Also available as a Color Primer. My recommended highlight colour: Tanned Flesh. Tanned Flesh: A tanned reddish skin tone that is excellent for shading Warpaints Barbarian Flesh. It’s a very close match for GW Ratskin Flesh. My recommended highlight colour: Barbarian Flesh or Kobold Skin. Please note: The figures refer to the time of publication of this review. Prices have risen slightly since then. Crypt Wraith: A dark drab green. It’s more greenish in real life than on the colour swatch. A very close match for GW Castellan Green. My recommended highlight colour: Elf Green or Army Green.Mutant Hue: Quite similar to Toxic Boils, but a bit more muted and reddish, more like a grape violet. Crusted Sore: A deep crimson red, similar to Khorne Red but slightly darker. The consistency of my bottle was a bit thin. My recommended highlight colour: Vampire Red.

Monster Brown: A light pale brown. It’s similar to GW Baneblade Brown, but a nuance warmer/more reddish. My recommended highlight colour: Banshee Brown. Hemp Rope: A medium to light ochre paint with a hint of green. A bit like mixing GW Balor Brown with Ogryn Camo. A peculiar colour. Maybe it’s something for historic wargamers (or for painting Sylvaneth). I actually think they match much better than Citadel paints to their respective spray paints. I have a can of Mechanicus Standard Grey, and the difference to the paint version is much more noticeable than with The Army Painter’s products – the grey has a slight yellowish-greenish hue that isn’t present in the paint. The 96 acrylic colours Elven Flesh: A light vibrant flesh tone with a nuance of orange or yellow. Similar to GW Ungor Flesh. My recommended highlight colour: Corpse Pale. Banshee Brown: A pale, light warm brown that is similar to GW Rakarth Flesh, but less greyish. Useful for mixing into browns for highlighting. My recommended highlight colour: Brainmatter Beige.As you can see, Warpaints are an excellent match for their respective primers. Maybe not 100% (but then I’d mark this off as marketing speech), but like 99%. Well done, The Army Painter. Lava Orange: A deep vibrant orange, similar to GW Troll Slayer Orange. My recommended highlight colour: Mythical Orange. Skeleton Bone: A yellowish bone colour, a pretty exact match for GW Ushabti Bone. Decent opacity and there is also a matching Color Primer for this one. My recommended highlight colour: Drake Tooth.

I love that there are a lot of hues you won’t find in the Citadel paint range – or actually in any other range save for Reaper Master Series, which are difficult to acquire outside the US. For example, very light paints such as Arid Earth, Poisonous Cloud, Toxic Mist or Gorgon Hide. Or all those plum, mauve and grape purples like Wasteland Soil, Mutant Hue and Toxic Boils, that are great for painting wounds, bruises and otherworldly skin.

High-quality formula

Stone Golem: A very light warm grey, lighter than on the colour swatch. Compared to GW Pallid Wych Flesh it’s slightly less reddish. Would be useful to mix with Castle Grey, Field Grey, Dark Stone or GW Stormvermin Fur for highlighting. The consistency of my bottle was a bit thin. My recommended highlight colour: Spaceship Exterior.
