Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy GW paints online?

I just don't want to pay OZ GW retailer price.

I have got LOTS of paint in NZ but I didn't bring much with me to OZ.

you can't ship spray paint but you can ship normal paint (water base paint)(non flammable)

I bought most all my paints from Maelstrom games when I was in NZ.

I went to my local GW store yesterday, $6 f**kin' AUD for 1 pot, that's almost $8NZD!

I need GW paints.

to be exact, I need GW foundation paint and GW washes.

as far as I know, no other companies make better.

Hi Simon,

You could consider giving Vallejo paints a try, in my opinion they are just as good as the GW paints and they also have a small range of extra opaque paints that are of the same quality as the GW foundation series.

I have not tried out the Vallejo washes or glazes yet so I can't comment on those but I have some on order and will let you know what they are like once I have tried them out  Smiley

Jorin.

I tried Vallejo 'extra opaque' (read foundation) paints and they are nowhere near as good as GW, the one wash which came wasn't as good as Devlan mud either.  That said i prefer the game colour range of normal Vallejo paints to GW paints although they are not a great match.

i would say can someone please pick me up the entire range, but that may be a little expensive.  i'm not exactly sure what i need, but i know it's blues (regal, enchanted, ice, and space wolves grey) i think and reds (maybe scab and/or mechrite red and dark flesh).  i probs won't be up in Auckland anytime soon anyway, so don't worry
