Duncan Rhodes Working On Two Thin Coats Paint Range
August 27, 2021 by brennon
It seems apt that Duncan Rhodes would use his tagline to do something fun. So, his Painting Academy is working alongside Trans Atlantis Games to produce a new range of paints for you to snap up and use on your miniatures. The Two Thin Coats paint range is on the way soon.

There are going to be an interesting mix of colours for you to choose from. Metallics are in the mix alongside forty-eight regular paints. Additionally, you'll also be able to pick up six different washes. All of them have been designed from the ground up and should match the style of painting that Rhodes uses during his tutorials.

It will certainly be interesting to see how these square up against the paint ranges that already exist. A lot of people enjoy their Citadel, Vallejo and Army Painter so I wonder if this will be able to bust onto the market. I could see perhaps a choice few of these making their way into peoples collections as long as they are readily available!
Are you a fan of Rhodes' painting style? Could you be tempted to snap these up when they get released?

I’ll have a look at the kickstarter when it launches.
I’d love one paint range to provide bottles that have the name of the colour really clearly printed on the label, and ideally a coloured label on the top so you can pick colours more easily.
Indeed! Its always either small, lost in a wall of text or called something obscure
nah … you might switch brands too easily if you could understand what colours they had.
Can’t have that now, can we ?
I hope ol’ Duncan realizes that people need colour names on bottles …
@limburger The names of the paints are around the base of the bottle in a black label around the lower third of the bottle. (it’s on the video .. not in the photo which was a teaser from a month ago)
Duncan also anounced he will have a free equivalence chart between his range and those of other ranges
i hope this helps (I am a paetronof young Duncan so I have been avidly following this)
That’s good. I must admit I hadn’t noticed it in the videos …
However I still think that the paint relies a bit too much on his name, which tends to make me suspect it is just a repackagin/branding of an existing range and not a unique product.
Agreed. I was searching for a good range but in the end I re-bottled and relabelled my own. I use Vallejo paints in the old school round flip-top pots like GW did back in the 80s-90s but with my own labels. I now have a solid selection of paints in clearly labelled bottles with an accurate colour chart.
That’s a really good idea.
Ooh great looking paints can you get the two things that every painter needs. in a bottle skill & talent lol.
I think it’s great that Duncan has got to the stage of working on a paint range. I most likely won’t be backing a Kickstarter however. Few reasons why: 1. The squidmar brushes were pretty disappointing, mainly just his name, and nothing special other than fancy packaging. Admittedly i backed them mainly to throw a creator some money while getting something in return, but they still felt like a let down. 2. If I’m backing a paint range I want to try it first, The scale75 instants while great paint really didn’t suit my painting style so that’s a bunch… Read more »
I think Duncan will be sticking to only his paints James it won’t look good advertising other paint ranges with his own one’s out.
Somewhere Duncan said he still will be using different paints, not only his own paints. I think it was in the comments of the video about the paints.
That good then.
