Games Workshop Paints & Tools Sets | Product Review 

Yeah, I much prefer Retributor Armour over Balthasar Gold for a yellow tone metallics. Much brighter and leaning towards yellow. I honestly wonder why they chose to put 'Gold' in the name, given that it has enough red/orange to be more of a copper tone.

I have a couple of videos where I do some assembly either as part of a project or to demonstrate how to build something, but in general I don't think assembling things is super interesting/novel, hence why I don't include it in videos. I may be mistaken about the amount of interest there is :-) Also I haven't figured out a good camera setup for filming assembly that is comfortable. I tried to make a video about assembling the Blood Bowl Snotling Pump Wagons, because they are pretty tricky, but a lot of the footage wasn't usable, i.e. bad angles, drifting out of frame, hands blocking the view. I occasionally build stuff as part of my Twitch streams, if there were specific things you were wanting to ask about.

Huh, I thought I had responded to this. Sorry about the late response, but I am glad to hear that the video helped get you into the hobby and I hope your Nighthaunt turn out well :-D

They did :)

Thanks 😊

I haven't checked this one, though I am definitely gotten that before with Corax White. Sometimes I have been able to save them with thinner and a ton of agitation.

I agree that for a complete paint set, having a green, purple and orange would be appreciated. I assume with products like this, the product designer is given a brief of something like, needs to paint these specific models that we are highlighting and a target price point, so they have to make hard choices about what paints to include. I do wish GW hadn't gotten rid of their sets that were more geared to building up a general paint collection. But if I am going to be wishing for changes to GW's paint product lines, I suspect I am going to want them to change the pots first 😅

I would probably not use it for Ork skin. It is a very bright yellowish green, so better for doing glow effects. It is also thin, like a shade paint, so it would be hard to get good coverage. I suspect that you would end up with radioactive looking Orks 😅

@@SleepyWhatsIt That would be a creative choice. But why is there no green in any of these sets? Its such a common color.

I suspect that the sets are designed for painting the models that came in specific starter boxes and in general those models happened to not use a lot of green. These sets are also missing purple and orange. You are supplied with a red, blue, and yellow so it is feasible to mix those colours in a pinch. GW used to do paint sets that were meant to be a complete starting palette, but seem to have moved away from that. I suspect because they found selling sets for specific models or factions aligned more with what people wanted, i.e. beginners would rather pay less now for a palette that only covered the models they had.

Given that the new edition of AoS is out, and they have made the AoS kits website only, I am expecting a revision of the kits that will include Orruk models and paints. This is what happened with Indomitus and 9th ed 40k

@@SleepyWhatsIt One can hope. Thanks.

There was an older kit for 8th edition, but I am not sure off hand what the contents of it was other then probably the paints were different, since A) some like Tesseract Glow didn't exist and B) the starter set was Ultramarine vs Death Guard.
