Stop the press, GW have models that are anotomically innacurate!

I have never encountered a more binary personality in my life. It appears we have found yet another subject you aren't either capable of understanding, or willing to allow for any sort of nuance.

And it's anatomically.

Don't be silly, there is no need to stop the presses. GW have anotomically incorrect everythings, this is not news to any of us.

Just for the record: Release is 16th November. Colours are a general release, only the complete set is limited.

Thanks for that Kroot, good to know

...And knowing GW, the complete set will not be cheaper than the six paints separate either. Or have I missed something which actually makes that complete set interesting?

It is some 300 € box, so the old special "all paints" box I guess.

..Ah. Well, that's of no interest to any sane user, then. goodie

Is this going to be like the Edge paints? where GW tried to market paints that they had missed in their new line as a new tool that will make your painting awesome?

The Edge paints were just light colours, that they had released already in drybrushing formulations, but not as actually useful paints. They managed to extend the range to a huge number of paints, and missed those 9 quite important shades. (hence their uber new line of paints was incomplete on day 1)

The mega paint set won't actually contain all the paints.
In Nov WD it doesn't say it contains any dry paints (could be a misprint, though) and it contain a limited number of technical paints (the 3 most used... So probably the 3 current technical paints)
It contains all the other paints from what I can tell, though

hehe no intentions of buying a mega paint set from Citadel ever tbh!
I like the paints... but dont need every colour, dry paints were pretty useless, the line NEEDED the Edge paints from day 1, theyre not for edge highlights atall, theyre just lighter colours, which was massively lacking in the line to start with. (still is a bit tbh)
When they want to push a painting style that means all your colours come premixed.. it wouldve been clever to include a wide range of colours and tones.... which they suprisingly didnt manage to pull off with over 200( lol 144 I like to exagerate) shades ! lol!
Shows how much thought went into it they dropped the line that the Eavy Metal team requested them... yeah right, they took the piss cus your dev team forgot incredibly important parts of the line!
Curious about these new pots... wondering what was missed out this time.
Maybe they will flesh out the glaze colours next when they realise that people are having to buy artists inks and make their own washes/glazes in a wider range of colours than they offer.

The mega-paint set is indeed the 144 paint set from last year, with cardboard box, so the full first release set including dry paints, for only 377,00 €.

Hmm yeah the dry paints are displayed on the box.
Not saying it contains dry is most likely a mistake

In WD they also said that the WoC bundle is mail order only, but it isn't.

looking foward to nihilak oxide and blood for the blood god

Does anyone actually know when these are coming out? They're in the new WD but there's no release date?

Look up dude!

Kroot says 16th Nov. He is unlikely to be lying.

Page 50 of the latest issue says released on 2nd November unless other wise noted. It's not noted for the paints, so I´d hope they are in store this weekend.

I have some of the FW weathering pigments - they are fantastic. You can turn a mediocre paint job into something heavily weathered (it can be used to mask your lack of technical skill).

I"m very interested to see how these new citadel paints match up. The blood interests me the most as I find it difficult to create "blood" without it looking rather flat.

Any GW stockist can confirm that they won't have the paints this weekend.

Well these were released today so I picked up all but the blood effects one (no need with plenty of Tamiya Red left)

the rest look promising and I'll have a go with them tomorrow

I was warned in store that the Agrellan Earth which is a crackle paint was a bit tricky to get working (to cold in store?) so I'll be interested to see how it goes

I'm probably going to pick up three or four of them tomorrow, if I can be arsed to walk into town.

I think anyone who was in any doubt of GW's target market these days need only watch the tutorial videos, I appreciate they're going to aim them as broad as possible, but being told "to put newspaper down in case I made a mess" made me feel so patronised it was funny!

Yea I will stick with my Reaper and Privateer press paints, their really a much better deal and I feel much better quality as well.

I got the blood. Used it to touch up some old minis, was happy with the results.

I think there's one store in all of my city, with some 3 million residents, which might carry tamiya clear.

there just isn't a market for niche products like this; population is too spread out to make physical stores practical in most cases, one or two per large city and that's it, and they do the usual MTG/Warmahordes/GW/Collectibles deal to stay successful, tamiya, which is often associated with traditional modelling/painting rarely appears on their shelves.

I could order something, but paying $5 in shipping or what have you on product not worth much more than that isn't really practical.

Is that Vancouver you're talking about? Moved away a few years back, but Magic Box Hobbies (Arbutus and 37th) had Tamiya paints when I last went there:
http://www.magicboxhobbies.net/

They focus on scale model planes, but have an interesting overall selection.

I'd expect Imperial Hobbies to have Tamiya (or at least be able to order it in).

Central Hobbies is pretty much the best train modelling shop (right around the corner from Connections on Renfrew). I'd say there's a good chance that they have Tamiya there, though I never explicitly looked for it.
http://www.central-hobbies.com/

If you're not in Vancouver (Montreal?), then I'd expect there to be a few hobby shops that aren't wargaming focused.

I really dislike the current fashion for all metal to either be caked in incredibly bright orange rust or green verdigris stuff. Doubtless I'll wind up getting these anyway.

I don't think its so much a fashion, more that people who don't really get the whole idea of "less is more" with weathering seeing some of the wonderful, subtle jobs done by some of the top end painters and thinking "I know how to improve that..."

Happens a lot with OSL too, sadly. OSL went from somebody saying "Wouldn't it be cool if this looked like it was glowing?" to models running around with a giant beacon in the dark.

Yep, even their floorworkers and managers seem to be anatomically incorrect.

I'm happy with the green gooey stuff.

The Agrallan Earth doesn't seem to be working, GW Coventry posted this about it.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=550135238396915&set=a.121595784584198.24380.107180066025770&type=1

I've tried mine, it just dries one solid colour, no cracking at all. Way to go GW, nice idea when it works though

I'm afraid I can't get the Agrellan Earth to crack either

the youtube video on it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFvzLX8CzrA&feature=youtu.be) suggested how thick you put it on was critical, but nothing seems to work,

(and the GW Coventry post seems to suggest they belive there's a bad batch out there)

Ryza Rust seems to work ok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px18NSorf1g&feature=youtu.be)

but better with

Typhus Corrosion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN1tu4pSSig&feature=youtu.be) note you really want the micro-particles in the paint to transfer to the model so working with the very tip of the brush is not much good, so I'd suggest using this fairly crudely then fixing any mistakes by overpainting with colour on a fine brush

Nihilakh Oxide I really like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw3iLEW1P2o&feature=youtu.be)

Nurgle's Rot is ok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEGY7tCHP7Y&feature=youtu.be), although I don't think it's much better than mixing your own colour and adding glaze medium

Blood for the Blood God (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TRBq7GVnJM&feature=youtu.be) I didn't actually buy but looked fine if you want to put fresh blood on stuff
