I grabbed thesr new paints online because somebody told me GW was discontinuing their current black and white bases, but it appears as if thats not happening. Now Im pretty pissed off. I bought them as part of the 10 paint promotion they are currently running, so I feel like I just got gyped. Not only do they force you to buy four base paints for a deal thats ment to promote contrast paints, I also bought two colours which are apperantly an off-black and off-white respectivley, so they arent even full black/white. Ive also read that they have the same problems the current white and black have so they arent even an improvment. What the hell? WHY did GW release these two? They should have been kept a FW exclusive.

Also, the paint promotion is so stingy. "To celebrate the release of Contrast paints, were letting you buy 10 paints for a discount. Only 3 of them can be Contrast though." Like tf is this? I added up the total in my head twice and both times I got the same result which was lower than $69.99 but I couldnt do anything about it as I was buying other items to get free shipping. So yeah, I got around 7 or 8 bucks but I dont really a feth about that. Im pissed because I bought two useless paints

They did discontinue Ceramite White (their white paint in the Base range) and have replaced it with Corax White which matches the spray. Corvus Black is a different shade of black than Abaddon Black.

Do you have an actual question here? Or are you just ranting and complaining?

I'd say these two bits are your issue; if you are acting and basing your thoughts off of heresay, then you're bound to be disappointed...
