"Brilliant"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Truly amazing paints. I was nervous about trying them after years of using enamel only. I should never have been concerned. Amazing pigment, easily cleans up, paints on effortlessly. I had read reviews that were less than impressed with the quality however on watching several instructional reviews on YouTube I decided to buy some small ball bearings, pop the nozzle from the bottle, drop in a ball bearing then reassemble and shake vigoursly for several minutes and the pigment blended perfectly.

"Need agitators"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good range of quality paints. Just add an 8mm glass bead to the bottles except the washes to act as an agitator when shaking.

"Dissapointing product for such high reviews"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Thought I would try some new paints when getting back into model painting, and considering the overwhelmingly positive reviews I thought these would be an excellent jumping off point, only to my dismay they were not. At best the paints have the consistency of coloured ink, which on its own I might be able to deal with, but the flaws run deep. Lots of the paints have noticeable sediment at the bottom that if mixed properly would probably make fine paint, but unfortunately with the pippet lid there is no way of stirring up the paint. Add to that when you shake the paints the pippets leak into the lid, so instead of mixing the paint just leaks out causing a watery mess and useless paint. All in all I would not recommend these to anyone, incredibly disappointing product, even for the price! On a more positive note, great shipping time.

"Great Paint Set!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I've heard so many bad things about Army Painter Paints, so I had second thoughts after ordering the mega set. Having previously bought the AP Metallics & Quick Shade sets which I found to be really good and nothing like the bad reports on the internet.

NOTE: I have added mixing balls to all bottles except the shades, and would highly recommend buying the Army Painter 100 mixing balls pack with this set! As the pigment can settle after long storage and be hard to mix without.

I haven't tested all the colours at time of review but I've found the quality of the AP megaset to be at least equal to the Vellajo game colour range. Possibly slightly less coverage, but I'm still learning to thin, so I believe this to be more my fault. I like the AP metallics better than Vellajo's. The range of colours is good and has made layering easier with basicaly 4 shades per colour and I haven't had to mix my own shades. You also get a decent brush with the set, which I'm sure is sable, its about a size 1 or 2 brush. If you can't afford the Complete Set, I would recommend this set.

Literally the best $200 I've spent on paint in my life. I've used Citadel for years, only to realize how poor quality they are. Army Painter will apply smoother, and last 20× longer due to nozzle system and better seals that DON'T clog and dry out your paints. This is a must-have!

Amazing set

"Quality and quick!"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Couldn't believe how quick this arrived – absolutely blew my expectations away! I bought the agitator balls too and they help shake up the paint so well. I was not disappointed at all – thank you!

"Best complete set ever !"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

What I liked the most about this was the extra tray spaces in the set… Now all my paints fit in one box for my #isolationarmy.

"Good value"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Excellent array of colours and the included brush is great. I recommend buying stainless steel agitators as the thick pigment takes a while to mix with the other fluid.

Fantastic Paints for painting miniatures and a great price, in fact the cheapest price on the Internet in Australia

"Great value, great looking and variety"

50 paints with a large variety of colors for almost all needs. I am super happy with the set and from all the colors I have used they look great.

"Awesome Set"

This is a good set for some one who wants to get a lot of the Army Painter paints in one hit, the biggest thing you have to remember is like all Army Painter Paints, you will have to Shake/Mix/add an agitator into the bottles.

"Great set for any hobbyist"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you want to get serious about your painting and are exploring paint sets, this one is a great deal. Army Painter has a great reputation, and unlike many (most-) other paints on the market this brand is not linked to miniature sales, so they aren't going anywhere. Some of the paints can be a little watery (the demon yellow), but this is hardly an issue unique to this brand. The metallics flow wonderfully and look nice and bright, the pigment is very fine. The dropper bottles work well and seal tight, the brush is actually really quite nice and a pleasure to paint with. Seriously, all I have is good things to say. Very impressed. I took a leap of faith as these are my first Army Painter products, but I couldn't be happier. 5 stars, no brainer ezpz
