Two decent additions this week.

1) Abington has just ordered the entire Vallejo Model Color line.  It should be in store Thursday or Friday.

2) Battleground now has a CoolMiniOrNot account.  CoolMini has all sorts of cool miniature lines, bases, accessories, and board games. Check out their site and let us know if anything catches your eye!  Their site is at http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/ and let me know if anything catches your eye.

A little better than decent, I'd say.

Should the miserable Grot crews survive for long they will soon become deafened and have to resort to a rudimentary system of sign language. This is rarely successful as there are only so many signs a Grot can carry around with him.

so is the quantity of paint larger in this "Vallejo Model color line" you speak of, or is it as small as the citadel paints?

It's entirely subjective.

Some people like Vallejo, some like Citadel.  The Vallejo stuff is cheaper and comes in bottles with a little dropper.  A lot of people like that.

The quantity of paint isn't too different. However, the dropper bottle Valejo uses tends to make the paint last longer.

I use a mix of Vallejo, GW, and P3. Vallejo bottle dropper is great and I use there game color's for most of my painting. There yellow sucks though and I prefer GW's for that and I like GW's washes. I use P3 for most of my highlighting because there colors are similar to the others but usually a bit brighter.

They are a tiny bit larger, also I feel most of there paints are better quality and cheaper.

Everything I have heard, Vallejo is one of the best paint lines, ever.

Generally speaking, you just shouldn't use GW hobby supplies.  $10 for super glue?  C'mon, guys.

I use Vallejo and my only complaint is some of the metallic colors seperate a bit. But the dropper style bottle is far superior to the GW pot style
