New Paint rumours hitting the webbernetz.

QUOTE

-144 colours are in.
-lots of renaming of colours, nothing is leaving.
-All in different catagories now, Shades (washes) bases, layers, glazes (thin washes) and textures.
-Prices are staying the same.

So it sounds to me like the main thing GW is doing is reorganizing the line to make it more clear which paints/washes/etc are designed to be used in what situations.

� There are 144 paints (the current line is only 73), so the range is doubling in size.
� Broken down into Bases (foundations), Layers (normal colours), shades (washes), Dry (essentially goopy paint for dry brushing), Glaze (thinned washes for easier blending), Texture (sand + colour) and Technical (liquid green stuff).
� Bottles are not changing.
� Every color is renamed, there will be a white dwarf with a comparison guide released. Blood red is now wild rider red, ultramarine blue is Calgar blue, skull white is white scar etc etc. There is a big expansion in the greens. There are pinks again, and more purple.
� Foundation white!! Named Ceramite White
� New how to paint book that includes a 90 minute DVD
� Mega paint set available year round now, but is super expensive apparently. Prices are apparently the same (for now).

For the first time ever, I am actually tempted by the How to paint book though. I have such a huge stock of paints at home right now that it will be a while before these start filtering into my painting unfortunately. Can't afford to throw away �100+ of paint and fork out for new. I do hope this won't be the sole release for April though. Much as we all love paint, I'm sure we all love miniatures more. -------------------- Ulthwe Eldar: 8,000+ pts awaiting deployment January 2013 Throne of Skulls: Autarch of Khaine

Hugivore - "Beware rending hugs" Group: Members Posts: 230 Member No.: 15 Joined: 21-October 10	I was in the Maidstone store Saturday and got to see the samples of the new paints. I am most impressed by the texture paints as they are thick enough to add build, good for basing. Having both glazes and shades instead of just washes is a good idea too. Glazes blend colours together without pooling and shades are for adding depth (so you use them just like washes). The dry stuff is very thick (you can turn the pot upside down and nothing even moves) so is ideal for drybrushing. Having a white base coat (that covers well) is a nice addition too. All in all I like the changes to the paint range, even if I have to find out what all the colours I use are called... -------------------- Codex Marines: ~9000pts Necrons: ~3000pts
