Two of the standout paints in the Mega Paint set for me are the Glistening Blood and Dry Rust effect paints which look very realistic, although the Dry Rust paint while really good I feel is a less is more kind of paint, using the model above I used too much on the sword but on its feat guards applying small amounts to the recesses I think looks awesome. The Dark Tone wash on the base did not like the flat surface of the base and because of its thickness did pool in places but when I tried to remove the excess with a brush created visible brush strokes which took some getting use to, being careful to only have a little amount of wash on your brush at a time is key and use some tissue paper or toilet roll to soak up any excess is a lot better than using a brush.
