If you are going to get serious about painting you will need more colors than those available in the P3 or GW paint ranges. Sure, those are great for table top units. What we are looking for is a truly stellar mini for a competition, display, or just to have a character that makes your opponent go ‘wow, did you paint that yourself?’ to which you can reply ‘yeah bitches and now it gonna wreck your face.’ To get those extra colors we need to blend so we need a palette. Unlike oil paints, acrylic paints dry fast so that means a wet palette.
