I need some old style Citadel paints because quite honestly, they just don't make 'em like they used to. I would love to get my hands on a few (squillion) bottles of Shining Gold and Polished Blue in the old bottles, unopened if at all possible. I know they still make Shining Gold, but it isn't nearly the same as this version.

I will pay $5 per UNOPENED bottle of either color.

PM with offers.

i dont understand .... they already make shining gold ( as you said ) but still you whant it ?

Im guessing becouse you think that they are too thin these days ?

Coat D'arms. They are the company that used to supply GW with those old style paints. They still make the same paint to this day, and it even comes in those bottles.

Plus it's considerable less that $5 a bottle!

Bright Gold, Enchanted Blue

Significantly cheaper in the UK...

Not so much across the pond.

I don't even think it is the same color, let alone consistency.

I have some old paints in my swap shop post http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/236088.page

Have one shining gold left I believe.

Just as favorable nod towards Shellfishguys paints, i bought 18 bottles from him, they were pristine, never opened, perfectly sealed and full. Got a few colors that i had been tryin to replicate for 5 years now w/o much success. I am still thrilled i got them thru him.

Here is a picture of the coat d'arms enchanted blue next to an ancient pot of polished blue. They look a little different in the picture but they are close to identical so I offer another vote for the coat d'arms paints as a cheap equivalent.

LOL ! If only you lived here in iceland ! !

We had a : Bring and buy ! at my place ( advertised good ) and guess WHAT ???

A player brought MILLIONS of (mostly) unopened old school paint !

So , i guess your unlucky Good thing is i got all the SM's and Orks from AoBR

I agree Coat D'Arms is the way to go!

Well thank you all. I will try to find a seller over here, or just suck it up and pay some annoying shipping.
