Review: New Vallejo Game Color range – now for pro painters only?

New Vallejo Game Color review featured image
7.0

With the help of painting legend Angel Giraldez, Vallejo not only changed but reinvented their venerable Game Color paint range.

Was the old Game Color range really so bad it needed to be redone from scratch? I answer this question and more in my review of the complete new Vallejo Game Color range.
