damm waagh_gonads, now thats a nice station. I'm wishing i never would have seen it. Looks like I'm going to have to order a few items from that site!!

I paint in the middle of the living room floor or on the toddler table myself.
Oh, but to have a nice caddy for all the paints and brushes, i'm definitely daydreaming of those that Nads showed us.

Try picking everything up and putting it on a shelf every time you step away so that little hands don't get into your paint.

Had a closer look at the poster.

1.) The mobile painting station is labelled "the new painting station", perhaps indicating that it replaces the old wooden one that I can't find anymore on the GW website. It has a working platform and indentations for two rows for paints behind it (1st row 8 paints, 2nd row 9), flanked by one indentation on each side for the GW brush holding water reservoir. It looks a tad smaller than the wooden one, but certainly not as small as the one on this pic http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1380166a_WD_lg.jpg . The stilts are more arcs but serve the same purpose.

2.) Also released on 30th October will be a cutting mat with a centimeter (I assume) grid, some arcs and a slightly ergonomic outer shape. Retail 7.80 € .

3.) Also released on 30th October is an extra deep "monster" miniature transport case. This one while supply lasts. Retail 65.- €

I posted the link to the CNC workshop paint racks in your own thread, seems like something you could easily do with your own cnc machine.

Will have to dig out the funds for a couple of those big monster cases methinks.

I got that mega paint set. It is a great deal. Plus the case can be used to carry minis.

It's the weird thing about GW: they're the only company that actually puts out a good value paint set. I added up the Reaper Master paint sets, and you basically get a small discount on the case. The Mega Paint set includes a lot of crap I don't need, but I'm not paying for.

I already have way too many paints, but I still covet it.

Anyone have a pic of the upcoming paint station? My wooden one is little too big for my needs and is due for replacement.

GW have to make it a really good deal. Given how poorly their paints keep in the current pots odds are that you'll be throwing half of the paint away.

i mean whats that all about i liked the old screw tops better

I'm jealous. Sort of. I'm supposed to be getting one, but GW says '50% of them have been bought!'

Should I believe them? How many would you guess they make every year?

It's a marketing ploy.

Do you mean the new pots that are similar to the foundation paints?

Because they do not have a lip for paint to spill onto, and are very good at keeping the paint.

Dude, you save over £100...just order one already!

Holy s*_*t! GW finally realized that people want a case that'll actually fit their big fancy models?

@Sammas

Yeha, I got the mega paint set from the Warstore too, so it was really cheap. I am glad I got it, it has been a great investment.

No, the current pots for normal paints - I find that after 6-9 months the paints are useless. The screw pots kept fairly well but if you got paint on the threads then they could be impossible to open. The old pots were great, they would keep for years and years.

Don't most of you have a garage??? ( i have a double one).That is what they are there for... I suppose the 'American Dream' doesn't cater for wargamers and hobbyists

Yeah, I have a garage, but that's where my cars go.

I actually picked up Vallejo styled paint pots and transferred several of my GW paints into those. I don't like the flip tops and it makes things quite difficult to pour GW paint into an airbrush. I like the GW Foundation Paints but the rest of my paint purchases will be Vallejo.

I posted the link to the CNC workshop paint racks in your own thread, seems like something you could easily do with your own cnc machine.

The paint racks don't really solve that problem. When there are kids in the house you really need to be able to pick up paint, glue, tools, water & the models being worked on in one go so that they can be easily stashed out of reach.

Paint stations like the GW one (or the many generic ones that are virtually identical and half the price) do that nicely.

Ah, sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest it would solve your particular problem but as a product for you to look into. I keep thinking about the CNC workshop ones but the price and shipping/customs always puts me off.

There's already a UK distributor for them - the link was posted for you in the same thread.

They don't sell the main paint rack.

Any news/pics of the new paint station? I might be able to blag one for my birthday if it's still released at the end of October.

lulz, bought my mega paint set, but my parental unit forbades me from having it until christmas

Yeyyy new paint, sucks your going to have to wait 2 months though.

its a heal of a deal, if I still used the bulk of GW paints I'd have to pick one up for myself.

I'm still buying random little purchases of paint though.. I just bought like four paints...gah. Whatever, more paint for me when I actually get the set

And finally! I can use a wash brush! I've never even glanced at one until now. What makes them so different from a regular brush? are they made of really permeable fibers or something?

I borrowed the store wash brush a couple weeks ago and the middle of the brush seems fatter to carry more wash and let it flow out easier.

Funny thing is that the paint station will be released a week before Dark Eldar, but is not yet on preorder.
