Perhaps in order to post new ones?
I'm not sure if they've updated them in the past, but maybe they didn't feel they were up to par any longer?

I tried to find how to paint Adeptus Mechanicus Thunderfire Cannon today and it doesn't work. I think either their web team has the links broken or they removed it so they can publish them in Eavy Metal Masterclass II.

I'm guessing it's because so many of them called for paints they don't make anymore.

Maybe they'll do a find and replace and put them back up if that's just it.

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

What if they replace them all with Ultramarines Blue, Shining Gold, and have all the symbols as little Skull White "U"'s!!!! O:

My FLGS sent out a message with the January News letter stating they were letting all of thier GW paint go out of stock in anticipation of "a Super Secret change to GW paint line in March" this may be the lead into that.

Please be dropper bottles please be dropper bottles please please please.

I'd use more GW paint if it didn't come in pots. It would be nice to be able to buy it locally instead of having to order my Vallejo online.

I doubt they will. Despite dropper bottles being strictly better.

I suspect the change is going to come in 3 forms
1) Every color is now available on all three levels (Foundation, standard, and wash
2) Colors will now be Panatone standard, and not sound like Goth Nail Polish lines
3) Prices will double.

Double probably not, 25% is most likely. If the price increases AND they don't have dropper bottles, I am sure many people will call it quit.

VGC range is better and has all the perks.

GW paints have long been surpassed by its competitors. Only thing keeping them up is brand loyalty and aggressive promotion.

Going Pantone with the color names would be a bad idea, since the stupid goofy names the paints have now are a big part of the brand's identity.

And ready availability. The damn paints are everywhere. I prefer Vallejo in every way, but the closest place that has them is an hour and 40 minutes away, so I'm pretty much stuck ordering online, but the Hobbytown 5 minutes from my house carries the full GW range, as does the comic book store 5 minutes down the street from Hobbytown.

If the prices of the GW go up anymore, with or without droppers, chances are I'll finally be making the switch over to something else.

I was a big fan of Reaper's Master Series paints I had for a short while...

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

IF they do then my how to paint space marine guid is a dud. :(
Also: if it was just dropper bottles then why would they remove the articles?

Skull White is now made from skulls. It's the most GW thing possible.

That means blood red is made from blood.
And Chaos black is made from chaos.
