Humbrol paints- any good?

[jchaos79]

Hi,

I saw a beautiful painting style in a warhammer forum with an aspecto of pastel color. I was impressed, beautiful, and I asked and told me that he was using Humbrol.

I used Humbrol enamel in the 80... there were my first steps on painting, so I can not accurate tell If they are good or not, only remember they were thick/coarse paints and the smell of the Trementina.

I saw Humbrol have now a acrilyc range.

Any experience about this Humbrol paints? adhesion?, cover? color range? is it worth?


P.D. I use regularly Vallejo, Vallejo fantasy, GW, Rackham (rackham paints are spectacular)

Used them before and after they relaunched.

Shake well, mix well, good coverage, nicely opaque and last years.

Humbrol were the first acrylics I ever used. Coverage very good but found them to be very chalky at times. Not used them recently though.

Acrylic

About 30% of my acrylics are Humbrol, I've used them for years and like them but Vallejo have a bigger range of colours I'm looking for.

I tried them years ago and like NIM found them to very chalky. Never used them since, much prefer Vallejo.

Actually, he's a low-ranking soldier in several of Shakespeare's history plays; vindictive, foul-mouthed, self-righteous, ignorant, speaking a weird dialect distantly related to English. He should fit right in with some of us, not that I'm mentioning any names, *******, ***** *** ***, and I'm not naming you either, **********.

Ok guys, that is a lot of fun, but do not means the feedback about humbrol is close. I am considering buy some paints and I had read bad opinions in other forums (warhammer style) about humbrol, so your opinion is more valuable for me because I know you (in some way  ) and I trust you more than warhammer addicted people, so please if someone have more feedback positive or negative is very valuable for me, then you can go on with the english humour,

thanks in advance and I hope I do not offend anyone of you.
