buglips*the*goblin Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It's all silver lining anyway. Get paint sample? Free paint! Yessssss! Don't get paint sample? Never be sad when sample runs out! Yesssssss! Perspective. It's why everything is awesome. Yesssssssssssssssss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think 'Oh, I'd love to have some clockwork brass!' And then I remember I haven't used metals for several minis now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unruly Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't think I'll ever be good enough to pull off any decent NMM, so metallics are going to be lifesavers for me. I mean, I can't even pull off proper highlighting yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't much like NMM so, I would really like to find a sample of clockwork brass in my current order when it arrives, or my next order, when I make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baugi Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 They do not always have sample paints. Samples are the result of a mistake in the paint department and Anne doesn't like to make mistakes. There is no guarantee that there will be a sample paint in an order. Not always. It can also be a way to unload limited or promotional paints. I just got a bottle of Big Top Red, for example (which seems to be very similar to Carnage Red, but very slightly cooler?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's worth learning because then you can apply the concepts back to shading and highlighting metallic paint (TMM) for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I love the Big Top Red that came in the swag bag this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loim Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't think I'll ever be good enough to pull off any decent NMM, so metallics are going to be lifesavers for me. I mean, I can't even pull off proper highlighting yet. I'm reminded of a conversation I had this weekend about fly fishing. If I let being bad stop me there are a lot of things I wouldn't even mess with. I love all the colors that came in this years swag bag. The purple is amazing. I've been mixing it with some metallics for some interesting effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyberwolfe1 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The colors for this years RCon are quite possibly my favorite evar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The colors for this years RCon are quite possibly my favorite evar. I was able to acquire four of each, which is probably a lifetime supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talae Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I have yet to receive a free sample. I guess I will have to keep ordering things until I do...just don't tell my wife :) I just received my first sample! It came in my fourth order from the Reaper store (along with the dozen Bones minis and a Triad of Clear Brights One paints). The color looks to be a shade or two darker than Tanned Highlight.

Gailbraithe Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hmm. I seem to be rather lucky when it comes to Sample paints. According to my account manager, I've placed 13 orders directly with Reaper, and I currently have 7 bottles of Sample paints. I'm batting over .5!
