	Furthermore, their starter kit is a fucking disaster of organization that you'll have to do yourself if you want to make any sense of it. The Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments line is largely a bunch of rebranded stuff from the regular line with an extra shade of purple, just now with a bunch of [[Dungeons_%26_Dragons\| D&D]] terminology slapped across it.

			This reputation began to change for the better in the 2020s when they got tired of being a third rate paint company in an increasingly competitive market and made significant changes to their product lineup. Better quality and consistency, improved labeling and color triad definitions, more ready-to-go paints and solutions, and their own knockoff of GW's Contrast paints (which, like the other Contrast clones, is fine for its intended purpose of quickly getting a big army presentable but doesn't highlight as well as the original). They even include a stirring ball in each bottle now. This obviously came with a price increase, but now they're more of a direct competitor to Citadel and Vallejo.

	Much "spongier" in finished paint texture than [[Citadel Miniatures\|Citadel]] paint since it uses a gel based medium, which for some can be a bit off-putting since that means it dries slower~~, the coverage of this stuff is right on par with [[Vallejo]] and Citadel, all in an industry-standard 18ml dropper bottle for individual colors~~. One thing that can be a drag is that the bottles aren't made with the same kind of rigor as a Vallejo bottle, so some of them can be cracked on purchase. Their paint range is usually considered cheap in price and in quality; you need to put more coats to get a decent coverage, sometimes too much medium dilution and all-around lower quality check than other, more expensive brands. Pretty much "babby's first paints" when you want to escape Citadel's insane pricing.

	Where paint and quickshading can be its own can of worms, one thing that is uniformly praised about the Army Painter is that their basing materials are absolutely phenomenal. Easy to apply, comes in a convenient "dippable" box, and the tufts are something that little dabs of super glue and a pair of tweezers work wonders with. Chances are, if you have to have anything from these guys in your arsenal, it's probably this.
