When I commented on how empty the store's paint racks were, my local GW store manager did confirm new paints are on the way a couple weeks back, but couldn't/wouldn't expand on that.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the new range pans out... Maybe I'm in the minority, but the perfect match issue won't affect me as I paint so slowly that my technique has changed and evolved and the 1st models in my army don't totally match the more recent ones! And that's using the same range of paints! With any luck some of the new colours might negate the need for batch mixing...

Personally I'm the same way. I also mostly play Chaos, Orks and VC were I'm trying to paint them to avoid a uniform look anyway.

Edit:
GW put out a new trailer for their paints?

GW posting a teaser vid for the new paints on their blog:

EDIT: Haha, oh dear beaten.

So... they're out this weekend or available for advance order this weekend?

Damn, when I saw that I thought it would be 145 days until 6th edition.

Coat d'Arms can be purchased from their American distributor Scale Creep Miniatures

21th.... really GW, really, anyway, we'll no more wednesday apparently

EDIT:

on closer inspection, it says 24th, which would make MUCH more sense, in keeping with their usual advance order/release day

As I said on the previous page: GW will release official info on 24th March, next Saturday. Watch their website. The following week, the stores get all the official info they need. The teaser just confirms that we indeed get 145 paints, as the list on page one already suggests.

GW just posted a teaser video ontheir web site.

It's so cuite :3

Well that teaser was um....interesting?

Seriously, GW can't give even basic information on their new products until the last minute.

Paint Agitators.

Legoburner figured out that these make perfect agitators, and I have ~250 sitting in little bags at home that I've been using. They work REALLY well, and I can bring back completely separated paints in 30 seconds. I also usually add a little bit of floor wax as well to help improve the flow.

I've seen several people suggest using beads or other agitators of various kinds, but I can't help thinking they'd just block the nozzle when you flip the dropper over to squeeze the paint out. Does this not happen?

yes and no., if the bottle is completely inverted and enough time is left the bead falls to the bottom.

I only run into this on low almost empty bottles.

Not much of a teaser, I wasn't even teased!!

I can only imagine how much the mega paint set will cost now that the number of paints have doubled...

Also I know the citadel brushes are over priced, but It would be nice to see gw re-release the brush set that they used to have online.

Nothing to see here....

There's EIGHT purples!

Good lord.

A few things spring to mind. There will be mass panic buying of Devlan mud!!!

Most of these colours can be made by adding white to whatever you started with.

Vallejo will still be half the price and twice the amount of paint compared to this range.

Expect a price rise fro GW.

This just looks more and more confusing! I would really wish i was starting to paint about now instead of re learning what i thought i have known for near 20 years! Gah!

I'm going to dread walking into my FLGS and asking for Doombull Brown because the owner is very sarcastic and has a cheesy sense of humour.

Me: Can I have a pot of doombull brown
Owner: You want some Brown Bull?
No: No, doombull brown!
Owner: Brown Bull...cue teenage style juvenile humour.

Me: Can I have a pot of XV-88?
Owner: We don't sell Angina tablets here. This is a model shop.

I foresee a paint line contraction about 3 to 5 years from now, along with lots of gnashing of teeth and such!

Woops, didn't think to check that!

Here's Legoburner's original article.

Something like this, perhaps?

XV-88's a brown!?
necron compunds a dry metal...
and the fang is a darkish grey...

Totaly not what I expected

Mephiston Red looks kind of brown... definitely not close to Mechrite Red anyway

Sounds more like your lock unfriendly gaming store! That would drive me mad.

A. Tried Vallejo paints. Not a fan, not a quality paint but you are getting what you pay for. These are just a step above Craft Paints you get at your local arts and crafts store but not the best quality, good but not what all the hype says imo.
B. Price rise? Why would they, when they just increased the line of paints by 50%? No need to when your going to buy more paint, so I bet that the price increase panic will be proven wrong.
C. Devlan Mud mass purchase? Yep, plus all the other paints too. Why? Cause thats what people do is panic thinking buying a bunch now will solve the problem. What happens when you run out of all those colors you just panic-bought? Dont panic people, wait and see what GW has in store for us.
D. This wasnt a slam on what posted, I was just using it as an example.

It looks like Null Oil is Devlan Mud, and we're loseing Badab Black?

there a BIG difference between pictures of colors and actual colors , just remember

@skippy, He's a good guy, really. It's all banter.

@ father Gabe. I've been in this hobby for 25+ years. I've given the hobby two marriages and thousands of pounds. I know GW like the back of my hand. They always do a price increase.
