At £20 for the set of 16 these are pretty good value.

I love GW's foundation paints, but prefer Vallejo for standard paints, so these are a must-buy for me.

I saw these on a brochure but my local craft store does not have these yet. When you have tried them, please let us know how they compare to GW Foundation paints.

I have used the heavy sienna and chardonite granite equivalent. The only thing I noticed is that the vallejo foundations do not tend to separate (as much?) when diluted. To be clear, when I dilute the GW foundation line with water 1:1, even after mixing, the paint separates into different phases of color very quickly. Example, chardonite granite separates into what looks like brown and dark grey/black. The vallejo did not do this or it may be less likely to spearate. I did not leave it in my palette long enough to see if it did eventually separate. It actually seems more like their model color line just not as thick. I also really like vallejo paints. Hate their white primer but their paints are great.

Those are pretty cool. I hope the hobby shop here where I live gets some of these.

What is the difference between these and the other Vallejo paints?

Are these just more opaque?

And are they slightly different colours?
