I have been asked a couple of times now what are the paints I use
when painting my figures, so what I have decided to do is make a list of the various colours and what manufacturer they were obtained from. So in future when I say “Pink Burgundy” or whatever was used here, you will be able to come to this page and get details of who the manufacturer of this colour was.
I will list the colours in alphabetical order rather than by manufacturer for ease of reference. The manufacturer’s code numbers are in brackets (if there is one and it hasn’t worn off the pot!). All paints are Acrylic (except for The Army Painter Quickshades).
