Full List of the New Citadel Paints and More.


Here it is, the new paints are on their way. It looks like the leaked pics we had from ebay some time ago were real, at least according to this rumor. Its still a rumor until we get the official announcement, but I feel that this one is pretty solid.

Personally, I like it. Expanding our color base to 144 paints, supposedly of higher quality for what appears to be the same price. I also like the idea of the new paint book and the mega set being available all year round. I know that will look like a price increase, but I think its going to include more, so the price should be higher. I also like the new names.

Please remember that this is still considered a rumor until we get something official from Games Workshop. So add a pinch of salt.

I got this info passed onto me about the new GW paint changes.
-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).
