I've used a couple pigments and the quality is great, as is the quality of the other "big names" like Mig, AK, and Ammo. I have also used the dark wash and I gotta say that I like its workability more than I do the AK pre-mixed washes. Sorry I can't provide more info, that's just what I have experienced. Hope it helps.

I have used them fairly extensively and had a very favorable experience with them. They are certainly on par with Ammo products and slightly better than the "pre-Mig ejection" products from AK.

I really like their filters and speckling effects. their oil paints are good too, but a bit different than the traditional oil paints. The dark rust tube i have blends very smoothly. The light dust tube i have has a very gritty texture to it, making it great for dust effects, but im not sure if this is intentional or not.

Pigments are of at least equal quality to AK and Ammo, but signifiantly better than Mig Productions

I have had some issues with quality (caps splitting when opening, paint pigments turning into goo and not mixing with the carriers). However, a message to them on their facebook page is greeted with a response within 24 hour. Adam and his team have always quickly resolved the issues ith replacement products at no cost to me.

Overall, id say get a few products and try them. I think you will enjoy and be impressed with them.

Michael,

I have reviewed and demonstrated several of them. I am very impressed with them and happily recommend them. (I have not used AK or Mig products.) My only complaint is that they are solvent-based and I am trying to limit my exposure, although I think there are some effects that can't be replicated with water-based products, thus I use Wilder when I need them.
