Warcolours are a cheaper alternative to Scale 75 and mostly functions the same way. They come in 5 color sets from the darkest to the brightest for the color (say like red). I love my warcolours, but like Scale 75, they are not a good place to start. Warcolours have a gel medium, which makes them surpurb for wet blending. They have a high pigment density, so they can be thinned easily to make glazes. If you thin them a bit less, they can do very well as layer paints. Unless you are wet blending, they *will* need to be thinned, which is what makes them less appropriate for beginner painters.

Overall I've heard good stuff about these. My impression is that one of the differences between older washes and the newer generation that seem to be substantially more useful is the transition to inks for the pigment. The Green Stuff World Washes use ink.

These are very matte, but also fairly thick shades. They might work like other shades if thinned, but in their out of the bottle consistency, these can't be used like traditional shades. I think these are probably better off used as a glaze than like a wash. As I get more experience with them, I'll circle back and reevalate them.
