**Perkustin**

The lids of my paints..

**The Bringer**

I either use a proper pallette, or the bottom of a 2 liter soda bottle.

**Kaptin Elwazz**

plasticard

**Warboss-Percy**

Tin Foil, or the lids of my paints if I'm not mixing.

**Chowderhead**

I use a Valkyrie base.

It's really nice, actually.

**Eldar Own**

I use the underside of lid of the tin i keep my paints in. It's very colourful nowadays.

**Commander Cain**

I use the lid off a container filled with a mysterious blue powder (I must find out what it is!) and have been for the last three years, the paint is now so thick that should I scrape back a few layers I could tell what I had been painting last week. Just the same as geologists and rocks, with a twist

**Inquisitor Cyotle**

Priveteer Pirate Press wet palet

**guyperson5**

I just use a newspaper. It works. Fairly well

**Knightley**

Ceramic tile all the way!

**lessthan1337**

Right now I'm using a wet pallette, buuuuut the paint comes out really flat and it takes more coats to cover everything...
Not sure if I like it

**djphranq**

I now use lids that come from containers of soup that I buy from Von's.

**rodgers37**

Blister packaging most recently... Just because i have some!

**Melkhiordarkblade**

I use an old saucer to mix my paint.

It washes off pretty easy too.

**.Kern.**

Wet Palette is the best ever. Your paints just never dry out

Even though my wet palette consists of foam from a blister on top of a cup of water!

**alphaomega**

Tile or a black/free CD/DVD

**Shadowseer_Kim**

A piece of scrap cardboard

**Bonde**

My table xD

**Hasharii**

Just (news)paper, or a tile.

**Gorillawizard**

I use the GW paint pallette, i got it on a whim. Well i am an Empire player and it looks like a Swordman's shield

**dsmiles**

I don't use a palette?

Unless you count the paper towel I use to get the excess paint off the brush when I'm drybrushing something.

**Augustus**

Tile

Got sick of scraping it though.

Now use plain old white plastic/foam plates. EZ

**weetyskemian44**

Random items found on the table - mostly the tops of my paint tubs but any random junk will do

**Dais**

A plastic dinner tray from the dollar store.

**severedblue**

Privateer Press Wet Palette

Sometimes I switch to the GW plastic tile

Use Simple Green when you strip your next batch of metal models. It really cleaned up my plastic tile until there was nothing on it; almost brand new.

**Dual Face**

I used to use a simple white tile, but a friend of mine gave me all of his old paints and supplies because he doesn't need them anymore, and a couple palettes came with all that stuff so I use those now

**heacy hitter**

Heres what I use my old water colour pencils case.

**jabbakahut**

Other, my kid...

Spoiler:

**Lappie**

All of the above... whatever is closest, usually my thumb or other parts of my hand first.

**master of ordinance**

anything i can find
