Here we are, Dear Readers, with another product unboxing!
For those that remember, the Undead paint set was the last product unboxing that I did. The underdark paint set is of a similar vein. 10 paints, one being a metallic, and a miniature.
As we saw last time, it’s a pretty standard box of paints.
An outstanding miniature of Drizz’t Do Urden. I look forward to painting him some day.
As you can see, there’s a good assortment of paints in the set. Of note, I’m really looking forward to the purple that came with it, as well as the tan. I have a feeling that the tan will end up being a really nice flesh tone.
This metallic color kind of bothered me. Why? Because I already own another metallic that seems very close in color to this. And I hate it when I buy multiples of the same paint, thereby ending up with colors I don’t need.
See what I mean? The Rough Iron and Duergar Metal are very close in color. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did end up being identical. But that’s the problem, as you will see in the next picture.
Unique, huh? Yeah… I’m beginning to doubt that.
In any case, the paint set ended up being pretty good, all in all. The biggest question, though, was it worth the money to buy it? For me, yes. There are a number of colors that will definitely add to my paint palette, particularly the brown Rigid Leather, and the aforementioned purple and tan.
What do you think, Dear Readers? Let me know in the comment section below!
Until next time, Dear Readers…

Did the Dueregar metal end up being close to the same color as Rough Iron? I’m almost out of DM and I can’t find a replacement without buying the whole set 😫

Yes, I can’t see too much of a difference between the two of them. You could easily use them interchangeably.

You are very welcome! A lot of those shades of colors from the Dungeons& dragons paint sets don’t have too many equivalents. The best I’ve been able to do when I run out is mixed paints. And that’s not easy. I tried to make sure I could buy two of each set of the other sets that didn’t have equivalents. The basic set was nearly all equivalence standard army painter colors. If those other sets they had unique colors in them.

This is the only color I’ve found in one of the sets that I can’t do without, I love it for base coating monsters with fur that I want to look sleek. I’m glad this one has a dupe out there outside of the rest of the set
