Hi all,

I have updated the table with the Citadel Classic paints I have gotten hold of. I hope you find it useful :)
I will update the table whenever I get hold of the paints I miss.

I have some of the inks and metallics too, but I don't know if they are interesting to you.

Kind Regards
Kalle

Hi all,

A Creature Paint Set is on its way to me, this means that I will have those added to the table.
In the meantime I will focus on getting Instar Alpha paint swatches finished so these can be added to the equivalents.

Kind Regards
Kalle

Hi Twisted Moon,
Thanks mate :)
It is a little bit tedious, but also fun.
Especially the yellows are a pain to get completely opaque. The Bad Moon Yellow isn’t completely opaque yet and the swatch is about 2.5-3mm thick :(
This is the same challenge in all paint ranges.
Weakest pigment ranking:
1. Yellow
2. Orange, because of the mix of yellow and red.
3. White
4. Red
5. Green
6, Blue
7. Black
I haven’t tried out Skull White yet, but I guess it’s up around position of yellow but I could be wrong ;)

Kind Regard
Kalle

Hi,

I have added the Instar Alpha range to the conversion table. Instar will release seven more paints for this range and when I get hold of them, I will update the Instar Alpha conversions.

Kind Regards

Hi!

Does VGC Scarlett Blood refer to Scarlett Red or to Bloody Red?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found Scarlett Blood 106. Did you look at the other two VGC reds?

Hi GameThug,

I only compare oldhammer paints against paint lines that I have, and are complete.

How do you make your colour samples for testing? Perhaps others could help by sending you samples you dont have. I'd be happy to contribute. I've a box with about 50 or so VGC.

Hi ringworm,

VGC is used in the comparison which means that I have it and it's complete, it's also including the Extra Opaques and paints that doesn't come in the Game Color complete set carrying case ;)

I have complete paint lines of The Army Painter, Vallejo Game Color, Instar Paint and Citadel Base and Layer.
The next up that I will complete are either Scale Color or Warcolours paint lines.
I have a Warcolours Nostalgia ´88 Creature Set incoming and that will be added to the list when I have compared it to the original Citadel Classic Creature Set.

Kind Regards
Kalle

Hi all,

News update!
I am currently analyzing Warcolours Nostalgia '88 Creature Paint Set, and will add the results to the table. I will purchase the other Nostalgia '88 sets too.
I have also purchased Coat D'Arms Fantasy line and I'm waiting for it to arrive, which means that I will analyze this too and add it to the table.
However, I believe that the paints from the Coat D'Arms Fantasy Line are created to be equivalents to Citadel 83xxx(large 17.5ml hex pots with white soft rubber lid), but we'll see how it fares in my analysis.

Kind regards
Kalle

Hi all,
My Coat D'Arms Fantasy Line has arrived, which means that I can start creating paint swatches for them now.
Don't get your hopes up that they will be a good match to Citadel Classic (1st gen.) paints, they are more likely to be a good match to Citadel 83xxx (2nd gen.).

Kind Regards
Kalle
