Warcolours' new Nostalgia 94 range is designed to recreate the colours and feeling of the Citadel paint range of the late 90s (the ones in the hexagonal pots with the white flip tops).

As I grew up with these paints, I was quite curious when they sent some samples to try. My thoughts in this video:




Are you into Oldhammer paintjobs? Might this be a product for you or will you stick to modern paint ranges with all their benefits?

PS: Sorry for the cringey thumbnail. It's apparently a YouTube thing

My understanding is that Coat D’arms, the company that made GW’s paint from that era is still in business and making paints. Have you tried their modern offerings to see how they compare to the old pots of yesteryear, or these new lines that seek to emulate them?

Coat'd'Arms is just a brand, the company that makes them is called HMG paints. They used to make the old Citadel paint ranges in both the round and hexagonal white flip-tops. They still produce Formula P3, Foundry paints, and, to my understanding, also did the current Citadel paint range until GW moved production in house.

While I'm still using Formula P3 paints, I haven't tried Coat'd'Arms and Foundry paints with their more oldschool formulas yet.
