Title: AK interactive new paint range
Post by: Andrew_McGuire on January 15, 2020, 05:33:18 PM: Yes, really. Though not on their website yet. Why? Something to do with evolution:

A bit short on info? You'll want the dossier, then:

On the other hand i need another set of paint s like I need a whole in my head- there simply wouldn't be any room left ion my studio to paint! lol

I'm already in that position, and I don't even have a studio. I'll buy the new ones, though. Wonder if they'll be out before the Nocturna N-Paint K S parcel arrives?

I've been using paints from the AK Figure line for a while now. They produce a nice matte finish and I like them a lot. I'll probably check out their new range if my lgs gets it in stock.

Post by: Captain Blood on January 17, 2020, 09:57:40 AM: I’ve got a few AK Interactive paints bought from Great Escape Games. Been using them for a couple of years. Nice strong colours, extensive range, good consistency and opacity (on the whole), and a reliably flat matt finish. I didn’t think they’d been about very long TBH, so don’t know if this is literally a new range, or just a relaunch of the existing line.

Post by: Andrew_McGuire on January 17, 2020, 12:33:49 PM: From the promo film and dossier it definitely appears to be a new range. If not, it's one of the most egregiously OTT campaigns I can recall.
