#48 - December 2023
The big news this week is the arrival of the all new (renewed) Vallejo Game Air paint range. The new formula increases ultra-fine pigment loading, improves opacity and provides exceptional adhesion on previously primed surfaces of plastic, resin or metal figures and models.
The range has been developed to achieve two purposes: to maintain the most popular shades and to offer new colors that allow the use of the BSL chromatic grouping system (Base, Shadow, and Light).
The ranges of Game Air and Game Color are perfectly compatible; the colors are identical in both formulations, which allows combining the use of colors in both airbrush and brush applications.
The other big news is the release of Legions Imperialis by Games Workshop. With its marquee Warhammer 40,000 tabletop miniatures game selling like hotcakes and the reboot of its popular Old World setting on the horizon, the gaming company is doubling down on a revitalized 28-millimeter-scale Horus Heresy line with Legions Imperialis, a diminutive 6-millimeter-scale wargame set in the same time period. This can be considered the spiritual successor to the cult classic Epic 40,000. The new range will
be available Saturday December 2nd in-store and on our website Monday.
