I picked up some Imperial Yellow, Snake Green, and Lizard Green paints from the Valejo Xpress Color range of paints to try out and see if I'd want some more. Early testing seems very promising. These are milky and seems to reduce painting time by filling in the different areas with one coat rather than several. I've been interested in trying out the Citadel Contrast Paints - but I absolutely hate pots - so it was always going to most likely be Valejo or The Army Painter brands since they both come in dropper bottles. I definitely want to try more by one may try both brands BUT so far Valejo has really impressed me. I'm painting another Naga and it's going much quicker than the other one. I will show the difference between the two paints when I complete this miniature. Here's a short video of a quick review for anyone interested in more information.

This is what I have painted so far. The Xpress Color paint is on the right.  I would complete this now BUT I want to go buy some more of these paints to do so rather than using normal paints. |

I picked up some more Xpress Colors - Black Lotus, Nuclear Yellow, and Wasteland Brown. I'm still adjusting to these BUT they make painting much faster.  |

The names are really cool. There are 24 colors - I think - available right now. I went back intending to buy a bunch more. Half or less of the available colors were still in the rack. They are in demand right now because they are brand new. Hopefully, I can get some of the ones I want sooner rather than later.  |

Love to see the full list of color names. Is this place online too? |

I went in for some overtime today. It was only half of a day and I was getting ahead on next week's report so a bunch of Excel work. Since I was only 3 miles away from Top Deck Games, I decided to see if they had any new shipments of Vallejo Xpress Color paints. I was in luck because they were almost completely stocked up on their inventory. I bought six more bottles to add to my collection.

I bought 5 more bottles of Vallejo Xpress Color paints for my collection. I didn't take my list with me and accidentally bought a duplicate of Troll Green but green of various shades is used quite a bit in general so I'm not worried about it all. The other colors I bought was Fresh Blood, Galvanic Corrosion, Moss and Lichen, & Space Grey. The name they use for these paints is still pretty cool.  |
