@@Hello-1814 All (or most) miniature gaming paint do it to some degree. GW probably does it for copyright reasons, however the other brands essentially do the same thing. All model paints are mixes and they do not tell us what the pigment mix is - likely for copyright reasons. They don't tell us what paints are opaque and what paints are translucent - thus specific paints are "good" and others are "bad" when discussing coverage when it is likely a function of the pigment used.
Mate for some reason when You were describing napping pugs and there was this calm music on made this vid soooo soothing :D Also really interested in those paints, good work !
Thanks for sharing the use of the Kimera Kolors ... and your feedback on them. I am curious, the motorcycle mini you worked at the very beginning; where can that be found?
Thanks for the review of these paints and also for the music choice, it’s absolutely perfect for the last TH-cam video I’m watching before going to sleep 😴
I got to sample three of these in the most recent Asset Drop and I agree with everything in the review. They rival professional artists acrylics in the smoothness of their handling.
I like these paints, but that Satin medium is key to learning how to use them. They are not suitable for basic layering and highlighting techniques, but for glazing and wet blending, they are fantastic.
The K Kolors are back in stock tomorrow join Kimera Models face book group to be updated as soon as they go back in stock there selling out fast!! facebook.com/groups/KimeraKolorsPaintingClub
Thanks for the discount code, I am really hoping it works when I eventually am able to get these paints, it would help compensate for the big drop in the currency that our Aussie dollar is converting back to the Euro.
They had 55 sets last week and they sold out in about an hour. Best thing to do is join there Facebook group for notifications of when they become available.
Looks ok but what good does a paint range with 13 colors do anyone? "One could say the color range isn't the greatest" You think? Pretty much no one wants to deal with mixing custom paint hues and shades every time they sit down to paint. Vallejo has a great matt finish AND a huge color range AND is widely available.
They probably aren't made with tabletop painters in mind. Kimera make display models, and you can afford to get really fiddly with mixes if you're going for display or competition standard. Still, loads of painters mix, even for tabletop (you might want to stick to simple mixes for an army though). There's no reason to limit yourself to pre-made colours, and mixing shadows and highlights from your basecoats will give way more convincing transitions.
@@brib9716 They're single, high-density, pigment paints vs the lower/cheaper density pigments that Vallejo would use. I will say however, that logically you'd be better of skipping these and going straight to artist grade acrylics as they're the same thing but half the price. As far as your complaints about mixing paints go, it's a bit silly; it takes two seconds to figure out a mix and write it down. I just airbrushed about 60 space marines with a custom mix that took approximately a minute to mix. Miniature paints with a huge color range are a bit of a case of the wool being pulled over hobbyists eyes along with hobbyists being lazy; we're not the first painters and all it takes is a quick look at a painters palette to see that we're paying through the nose for paints that are literally slightly shade shifted from one another.
Love the simple paint names, not the silly game trash usually on mini paints. Great review.👍
I think GW did it FOR COPYRIGHT REASONS.

Asset drop is, a great service mate. Glad they included these awesome paints.
@@OrcPainterNerd yeah they've introduced me to a wild world of paints and art ideas, that's for sure.

great review, paints look good, shame you didn't prime any models in black to see how they covered a dark primer.
where can we get these? Everywhere I look they are sold out
Good review im considering getting the set, I'd love to know how well these spray from an airbrush?
Hey OPN, its been a while! I hope you are well, nice review on the paint line.
Hey mate! It has been a while. I'm not to bad bud. Hope your doing well too!

These look great. Thanks for the vid.
This was so good I didnt even need a warm drink or cold beer.
Lol 😂 glad you liked it mate.
Like the review however I’m a bit disappointed as they have no stock!
They had 55 sets last week and they sold out in about an hour. Best thing to do is join there Facebook group for notifications of when they become available.
I really want to buy this set but they are SO DARN DIFFICULT to get, they are always bloody out of stock.

A lot of display painters mix their own alllllll the time.
Most display painters probably have less paints than army painters actually.
None of what anyone has said makes the case that these paints are better than Vallejo. Because no one can make that case.
