We've been waiting for the stock of these to arrive in the U.K., so we're very pleased to announce that we're now stocking the Vallejo Xpress range of paints! Similar to the GW Contrast or Army Paint Speedpaints, these are designed to provide a quick method for painting figures.
From the Vallejo website:
When we need to paint multiple figures in a fast way, Xpress Color is the ideal choice, these matt colors are specifically formulated to paint miniatures in a fast-and-easy way.
The main characteristics are its excellent capillarity that allows the color to flow easily over the miniature surface, settling on all the reliefs and more intensely in the crevices of the figure, creating a contrast effect with a single layer of paint.
It's recommended to apply Xpress Color on a white or grey primed or painted surface. The color will create light areas on the reliefs, saturated mid-tones and intense shadows in the crevices of the figure.
Like all our products, they are very versatile and can be applied over any color in the range to create soft shading and contouring effects, to create glazes or filters and to blend transitions between color tones.
Xpress Color can be mixed together, or can be diluted with Xpress Medium to modify or create new shades.
There's a PDF file with the color swatches available here.
The delivery should be with us in the next couple of days, so all orders will be posted out as soon as the stock arrives.
