No, not in any way. They are a tool like anything else. I use them for speedpainting and getting models ready quickly. I also use them as basecoats, glazes, filters, washes like other paints as part of the process when painting slow. I really like them as a part of my toolbox along with heavy body acrylics, “regular” acrylics from various manufacturers, inks and washes. (Painted minis since 2002 or so)
