Catching up on the various blog's this morning, I found a great article by Brian over at The Warband
which detailed how he painted his Russian's, perfect timing as I kick off the next major project.
Perhaps of more interest within the article to the general gamer was an interesting app. that I had not come across before. Power Palette
Reaper Miniatures within their website they have an application called the Power Palette
that you can scan an image into and it will match it to the closest Master Series Ccolours from their paint range.
Using
Brian's example I also scanned images from my Osprey collection and it
produced a suggested a range of colours, I even tried scanning in
photo's of a couple of miniatures where I used Reaper Master paints and with the
right lighting it found it's own paint colours even with a varnish coating.
I suspect this will be old news to some but I am seriously impressed, thanks Brian for a great find.
Back in May I posted up the latest Games Workshop painting guide.
Since
I posted the comparison up in my blog, I have
been working to match this range to others available (Sad I know) set
out below is the latest painting matrix.
Perfect time to upload given the Power Palette find.
