Was working with the Steel and Copper Alchemy sets tonight, and did a quick comparison.

Color on the Left is GW Tin Bitz (Old formula) on right is Scale 75 Decayed Metal.

 

I have encountered posts be-moaning the lack of Tin Bitz, so I thought I would show the difference...

A drop or 2 of Black Metal from the Steel set might match the colors, but I have NOT tested this...

 

YMMV

Hey folks!

 

Just a quick report,

 

I thinned Sunset Purple with the Scale Acrylic thinner at 1-3, and used it to paint spotss on a hat for my daughter. I was spraying at a much higher pressure than I use on minis, and onto cloth at that, but had no problems with the airbrush, and the coverage seemed about what I expect any thinned airbrush paint to be like.

Cleaned up well also. Will report again when I use it on a mini...

So I have this gift card burning a hole. If you were to get one set of scale 75, which one would you get?

I think which single set depends on your current paint collection, if there are any holes, your style, and what you like to paint.

 

For example, if you paint metallics and/or are dissatisfied with your current metallics, the Scale Color metallics are lovely: highly pigmented and fine grained.

 

On the other hand, if you like NMM, the one of the NMM sets would be a good bet.

I agree with Ron. It really comes down to what you need the most. All of the SC75 sets I have filled voids in my paint sets.

Shades of doom. Great colors. Sweet dark reddish color and the black is the color that scale75are so good at. Strong tinting power but translucent so you can use it to achieve great depth in shadows. Throw in some great desaturated greyish blue and greyish green. But the metal n alchemy sets are widely praised as some of the best metallic around.
