Tabletop Warhammer?

I am getting fed up with the problems of my ageing AP Warpaints and my daughter wants to properly try her hand, so we went halves on these for the interesting colour mix. Covers some shades I use often and many I don't have a comparable WP for. I still need some decent blues too.

I was very tempted to buy these myself but seems I already have quite a few of the paints already. They probably have the best bottles of any of the new refreshed paint lines.

18ml, high quality paint and bottles not much wrong with the line.
 
I really hate the Vallejo black primer 74.602, It sprays poorly through my airbrush despite apparently not needing thinning, And when it dries it turns into like some kind of gum. Think I'm going to bin it, I only used it as I ran out of my Molotow one (which isn't actually a primer).

Only just tried one today, good old Ivory, and I finally understand why youtubers call paints creamy. The bottle tops do appear to stay cleaner and they are so easy to squeeze too. I may not bother with mixing balls unless I find any problem colours.

Looking forward to trying them.

@Noxia I have used Vallejo black primer a lot by brush and had some rub off (oo eer). My only attempt with my Ultra 2024 was on most of my Heroquest box. I did add a few drops of Army Painter ready mix thinner/flow improver and it took a bit of fine tuning pressure to get a nice coat.

I did the light mist then full coat method and did struggle with tip dry but the actual paint was solid once dry and didn't rub off with my hamfisted handling. I have some AP Grey primer too but haven't tried it due to the ventilation issues I had. Brushes nicely though.
 
Thanks. I should state the gum like stuff is in my airbrush cup, not the models. Got 180ml refill of Molotow signal black coming now on Sunday.

Oh dang, that is odd, especially with nothing added to react to it. Hopefully an oddly duff bottle but not a great product experience. Glad you got a replacement sorted.
 
AP are now bringing out 3 new sets for WW2. British, German and USA.

Cult of paint have new 2024 H&S brushes coming out soon and some sort of paint range.

Primed with Vallejo white mecha primer & Pro Acryl Ivory airbrushed over the primer on the statue and skulls, sepia wash next in the morning.

That Pro Acryl ivory colour looks a pretty good for wraithbone to me ;)

Burnt and bold pyrrole red are stunning but the coverage is completely pants. pyrrole is the best red iv ever seen :/

added a picture above. Just trying to get my reds right. Not sure i like the TTC reds. coverage wasn't great again. You can just see the model tro the left has Nocturnal red from vallejo which seems good as a base coat. 2 coats. That's why AP fanatic really tempting to me since its probably the best covering of the paint lines
 
Picked up the latest Kill Team starter set thinking I can play a cut down version of the rules with my 5 year old but even I’m overwhelmed with it all lol
 
I find a good red to be one of the hardest colours to get. Either rubbish coverage or too pink or both.
