Fairy Flesh from Vallejo on it's own is versatilate enough for 80% of skin you want to paint for tabletop. I have recently picked up their Malefic set and it's fantastic for more evil characters. As for the others, I have recently picked up 75% of the Scale75 Artist range and I am very happy with it so far, but I had to pick up so many because, well, sometimes one can feel too lazy to mix them every time 😅
It’s great set for sure! haven’t picked the other set up but I have eyed it for a future try !! I love the artist range and I get it , I started out small to but basic have them all now 😅😅😂😂
My favorite paints ordered mostly by how often I use them: - Signal Black (Molotow); my preferred airbrush primer; has a slight brown tint, which is useful for painting warm colors - Any artist white ink (I have been using Royal Talens Amsterdam lately, because big bottles are very cost effective) - Rhinox Hide (Citadel); unique dark brown with a purple undertone - Metal Color Duraluminium as the best silver mid tone (basically any silver from Vallejo’s Metal Color range is great) - Decayed Metal (Scale75); beautiful dark gold metal paint - Burnt Umber (PBr7) oil paint for making washes (any artist grade will do) - AK’s 3rd gen Black or Vallejo Model Black for a more matt finish - Black ink (Vallejo); preferred for airbrushing because of it satin instead of glossy finish of other inks; usually mixed into other paints - Sombre Grey (Vallejo Game Color); great rather unique grey with a violet undertone; close to Payne’s Grey, but very opaque - Brown ink OOP (Citadel); best looking wood color I have come across - Chestnut Ink OOP (Citadel); really like orange-brown tones in general; Vallejo Skin Wash ink is also great and more importantly, still available - Kimera’s The Red and Magenta - Earth (Vallejo Game Color); great for painting weathered bone, glazed over a zenthinal undercoat; also great as a base color for desaturated leather - Naphthol Crimson ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent red paint; it’s on the colder side, without getting into the magenta spectrum - Yellow Orange Azo ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent warm yellow paint, that might look more neutral (and not specifically warm) depending on the undershade - In general using Liquitex artist ink and Citadel Contrast paints a lot; I like almost all of them - AK terrains Muddy ground; lovely texture paint; just don’t slap in on too thick, because you will get a weird texture
Really great video. I've been eying the Kimera paints whenever I'm at Alphaspel. Maybe time to pick some up and try them. One thing that would be great for a future video would be to see how the paint looks when it's dried!
tackar tackar ! =) alphaspel is my go to webshop ^^ feedback noted ! You wont be disappointed in the saturation but they dry and are very mat so if you are not use to that it will take sometime for sure .
This was really a terrific video, Peter! Thank you for the effort you put into it. I love that you showed them all on the palette and also showed many on practical models.
As a model painter getting back into it after 20 years. I found this video very enlightening and also I'm amazed how much the paints have improved . Is the fairy flesh from Vallejo more similar to Vallejo Game color or model color or even a different brand?
Thanks for watching mate! There is so many paints 🤣 I’d say they are more akin to model color , but I don’t have that many game color to compare with .
10:55 Favorite Fluor range: Golden High Flow, with close second being the Amsterdam inks. If you ever wanna experiment with other ranges, I recommend trying one of these.
13:54 the Silver and Duraluminium are very close to each other in tone and brightness. I would keep the Steel and Duraluminium and substitute the Silver for Vallejo Metal Color Chrome.

I really like 'my go to paints' takes. Especially when explained a little bit of context, like you did. Always something to take away. Cheers.
thank you for the nice comment :) guess we are all paint addicts in the end right.
I really appreciate your colour paint choices!!! As a beginner, you are inspirational and a great teacher. Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Aww! Thank you ! So nice of you say 😃😃
My favorite paints ordered mostly by how often I use them:
- Signal Black (Molotow); my preferred airbrush primer; has a slight brown tint, which is useful for painting warm colors
- Any artist white ink (I have been using Royal Talens Amsterdam lately, because big bottles are very cost effective)
- Rhinox Hide (Citadel); unique dark brown with a purple undertone
- Metal Color Duraluminium as the best silver mid tone (basically any silver from Vallejo’s Metal Color range is great)
- Decayed Metal (Scale75); beautiful dark gold metal paint
- Burnt Umber (PBr7) oil paint for making washes (any artist grade will do)
- AK’s 3rd gen Black or Vallejo Model Black for a more matt finish
- Black ink (Vallejo); preferred for airbrushing because of it satin instead of glossy finish of other inks; usually mixed into other paints
- Sombre Grey (Vallejo Game Color); great rather unique grey with a violet undertone; close to Payne’s Grey, but very opaque
- Brown ink OOP (Citadel); best looking wood color I have come across
- Chestnut Ink OOP (Citadel); really like orange-brown tones in general; Vallejo Skin Wash ink is also great and more importantly, still available
- Kimera’s The Red and Magenta
- Earth (Vallejo Game Color); great for painting weathered bone, glazed over a zenthinal undercoat; also great as a base color for desaturated leather
- Naphthol Crimson ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent red paint; it’s on the colder side, without getting into the magenta spectrum
- Yellow Orange Azo ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent warm yellow paint, that might look more neutral (and not specifically warm) depending on the undershade
- In general using Liquitex artist ink and Citadel Contrast paints a lot; I like almost all of them
- AK terrains Muddy ground; lovely texture paint; just don’t slap in on too thick, because you will get a weird texture
A lot of good ones on that list for sure !! And a few I have to try ! Thanks for sharing !

Great video!! Yo should try AK 3rd generation or new Vallejo Game color, they're great 👌
I’ve heard great things about both specifically the Ak! I will look into it ! Thanks for the comment

That’s a fantastic selection of paints. Have you tried Sun Ray from Kimera? If not, you definitely should, it’s fantastic
Dude thanks ! I will look at that color closer for sure !!
Dumb question sir, do you have a video on getting started with oils? What you need? Etc? Great video thank you

@@steveisaak4320 it’s all in the video basically, I don’t use mask but crack a window or make sure the room is ventilated!
thank you. I have paint but I need to paint more
great vid. very nice selection of paints. one comment is the word chiaroscuro can more accurately be pronounced as "key-are-oh-skoo-roh" :)
thanks mate ! haha you see i truly had no idea about it ^^ thanks for the feedback !
Have you taken a look at the Monument hobbies FLourescents? Also, the new inks from AK Interactive look great
I haven’t yet ! Thanks for the tip ! 👍🏼👍🏼
Funny how on the skin tone section the darkest color seemed to have the worst coverage, lol
hehe , the lighter tones often have more white , and tend to get more robust and chalky =)
That shadow is weird af.
What shadow 😅?
