Phase 1: Complain bitterly, probably a few heartfelt vows of how THIS (and not the previous this-es) will be what ruins GW forever

Phase 2: Repeat phase 1 ad naseum

Phase 3: People will tell people to shut up, and that they are making a mountain out of a molehill

Phase 4: People from Phase 3 will be called GW fanboys, people from Phases 1/2 will be called GW haters

Phase 5: Flamewars until locked

Phase 6: We'll all find an alternative and move on with our lives until the next WORST POSSIBLE THING comes around to ruin GW forever

Sounds right to me!

Dont other companies make a similar wash anyway? Vallejo Wash Umber Shade must be very similar?

**Igloo**

Thanks guys, I was going to switch to vallejo anyway and did not mean to start any flame wars.

Drew14, I read you have an airbrush. I'd recommend the next time you paint metallics that you try one of the Velljo washes through your airbrush as an even transparent tint. It can turn out awesome:

I imagine someone will eventually update the paint chart with the new paints comparing them to the old ones as best as possible.

Isn't April's WD supposed to do this? Think I heard that from somewhere...

**marv335**

Try Winsor and Newton Peat Brown ink.

I'm less concerned over Devlan Mud, and more concerned over how the new washes match up to Asurmen Blue, Gryphone Sepia, and Baal Red as my Nid army is done almost entirely with those washes

I'm sure the new Agrax Earthshade will be a good alternative. GW aren't stupid, they wouldn't get rid of one of their best/most popular paints.

That may be true but what are they going to do with all the surplus(tens of thousands maybe???)pots of paint that are out there already.Will they take the hit on them and sell them off or go down the route of Dread Fleet.Come to think of it my local FLGS has a couple of Mega Paint sets gathering dust hhmmmmm!

And to people living in Australia that is still a bargain! /badumtish

Post half-used pots of it on ebay for exorbitant sums of money!

Absolutely nothing different? I have never used it.

Well, Tale of Two Painters put this up a couple of weeks back:

I've got enough to do my skaven army and that's all I really need it for. After that, I'll use shades since they work more like inks and consider what I want to do about glazing once I learn how to do it properly.

Mix 'em with mud from the back garden and slather the resulting goo all over your minis.

**Fray**

One of the admins, Legoburner, had a thread posted maybe a week ago comparing Devlan Mud with a number of alternatives. The short version was that Army Painter Strong Tone is about as close a match to Devlan Mud that you'll find easily, and Army Painter Dark Tone is a similarly close match to Badab Black.

The thread is HERE
