Hey all, I'm running out of tentacle pink for my emperors children models, and I understand GW doesn't sell it anymore. What would be a good replacement? Also, what would be good replacements for other colors GW has discontinued?

Vallejo GAME color pretty much matches GW colors. Google for a conversion chart, I know one is out there.

Squid Pink is equivalent to GW pink according to this conversion chart.

It's also (MSRP) $3.29 for a 17ml bottle while GW charges $3.70 for a 12ml pot.

Folk Art Paint Model number 688 Light Fuchsia.

Exact match and for 2Fl. oz is around $1.00. this is what I use now for large scale painting though I have had excellent results painting it on my Daemonettes.

These will be an exact match as Coat D'arms used to produce GW's paint range (the hex ones that last forever). It is on there as Shocking Pink.

No more tentacle pink?!

Squid Pink is what I use since Tentacle Pink was discontinued. It work's great, from Vallejo's line.

Awesome, thanks guys. Do you have other suggestions for other colors that went out of circulation? I'm sure others could benefit from this knowledge as well.

Pretty sure Dakka has a paint conversion table that goes through all of this across most of the common ranges?

EDIT - Yeah it does, can be found here http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

You, sir, rock. Thanks man.

This is the best option. Coat D'Arms is GREAT paint. I have several bottles of the old metallics (Polished Blue, Glistening Green, Shining Gold) and they are excellent. I believe the consistency is even better than they used to be.
