Hi folks! Guy here! I always see these absolutely ridiculously cheap paint sets on Amazon with loads of colours and cool brushes and think "hmmm, why don't people just use this stuff to paint minis?"

Well, today that curiosity finally got the best of me. I bought the cheapest set on Amazon, which has over 7,000 reviews and a 4.6 rating, to see if you can actually use them on minis.

I hope you find it... illuminating!

Lots of love
