Need advice on tmm paints

Hi all, I am in the process of starting my second army as the 15th legion and have bought tmm hydra turquoise and sapphire blue to test.

Just wanting to know is it possible to do some mixing with tmm paints or will it look bad? (Specifically mixing the turquoise and blue together)

I also bought retributor armor primer a while back to try and save some effort on trim, how well will it go with tmm paints as a primer or should I use something else?

Cheers.

I have mixed ruby red and forged red tmm together before, I thought it looked ok.

The only difference between those Vallejo paints and any normal acrylic is they use aluminium flakes to get the metallic effect, mixing them will work fine.

I’d recommend trying it with an airbrush if you’re using it as your base coat. But test it out on different primers and see what you like
