I bought this one with high hopes and low expectations, I was surprised to be able to give it a five star. I printed a spare character with the idea to make a shadow clone/twin version. Application was a simple xenithal prime followed by the Grim Black only. While drying it looked a bit pale but the finished item is considerably darker than I would have guessed, the model looks all black at a glance but the detail reads much better than a model that has only been primed in 100% black.

As a first timer at miniature painting I found this range to be very easy to use and a good introduction to the hobby for me.

I picked up this colour with two others (blood red, cloudburst blue) and of the three over only found the red to be much good. Both this and the blue don't work so well on surfaces without any textures to add any depth to, and trying to compensate with a second layer abolishes any contrast you may have previously had
