I've emailed them as well. Hoping that they respond. Hoping even more that they put this feature back. Maybe if enough people mail they'll take notice.

Likewise - I never used the miniatures feature, but I did like to click on a paint and be able to see all the shading and highlighting options I had (especially helpful for me, as I'm severley colour-blind and need all the help I can get!).

I believe the app still works, but I don't have a device I can run that on - so if this is gone for good, it's a real blow for me. :(


***EDIT - local store just got back to me (they're awesome) and said they believed they were on the Citadel Colour site...if they are, I can't see 'em...

No, not on the colour site, they used to be there I think, but not anymore.

Well, I don't know if it helps but the colour guides used to be pasted into the beginning of tutorials on the Warhammer YT channel and you can usually find the complete list there (more accurate, too, because the video will actually use them unlike GW promo studio)?

It is terrible they removed that from everything. We should all email the like crazy demanding it gets put back.

If they do bring it back, I hope its under the product description. Scrolling through all that just to find out what bits a box has is annoying.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Yeah putting it above the product information always struck me as weird.

Also, I was looking around and it looks like the customer paint jobs have vanished from the website? When did that happen?

It never ends well

Just spoke to someone in chat on GW's site - the painting guides are presently down due to technical difficulties. They are aiming to have them back online ASAP, but were unable to give me a timeframe.

At least they're not permanently gone!




EDIT: ....and they're back up!

That's indeed a relief, site is a bit more cluttered now though with the addition of the "frequently bought together" stuff squished in there as well.
