This is all over facebook at the moment, and meeting both skeptical excitement and confusion as it's unlike GW to sell a product and not the airbrush for it

If you using an airbrush mastering a pipette shouldn't be a problem. I find them preferable too as it makes measuring and then replicating mixes easier.
Nonetheless GW are a bit too late to the market for me, I'm fully loaded up with Vallejo. Will be handy for filling any gaps for GW armies though.

Hastings posted on Warseer that GW is also going to release an airbrush gun, but does not know when. He mentioned this in response to the new airbrush colors.

I hate using dropper bottles, personally, as I tend to do mixed colors and I just keep them in empty paint pots and use a pipette.
Have yet to have any issues myself.
I'm pretty excited about this. I got a huge number of paints when they first released as a present and I'm a bit OCD when it comes to paint matching. Having airbrush versions of base colors is gonna be great as they don't tend to thin out correctly from my attempts.

At the cost of their paints, a better thought out container for airbrush use would have been ideal.
Yes piping it over is an option, maybe I am just getting sick of covering for them being cheap and putting them in the same looking pots as the normal paint.
I have to ask the question I had asked GW before (got no answer): do their paints contain cadmium??
In a sprayed form it is INCREDIBLY bad for you, so are they using alternative pigments? (tends to be reds and yellows)
Wearing a mask and venting anyway but not everyone is as paranoid as me so I like to see some attempt at being responsible.

Hmm, just watch, maybe we'll get specially branded GW fine-pipettes.

From the other thread. The one name that stands out is 'Relictor Gold' in the middle column. With the current release of Retributor Armour and Liberator Gold its hard to see the necessity of another gold paint (unless it is a yellow 'gold').

I can't think of any reason why you would want to buy the GW ones when you can get a quality Iwata for £50-60. Production of it is obviously going to be outsourced, and you'll have the GW premium added so that it will probably cost 50% more than it should do.
Paints are a different matter as I assume people might want specific colour shades for particular chapters of marines for example, although for the primary colours again a knowledgeable hobbyist is always going to go for any of the well established ranges from the likes of Vallejo or Mr. Hobby.

Oh yeah believe me I wouldn't get a GW one. A normal one is a bit much for me atm (with the compressor and stuff) let alone one with a stupid premium added. I just... Well I just dread to think what the price will actually end up being.

I've been told that some of the GW paints are going OOP. I don't know if they're just being discontinued or whether they're being replaced, I just know it's due to happen in November. The colours going are:
Ratskin flesh
Warpfiend Grey
Slaanesh Grey
Ungor Flesh
Bestigor Flesh
Dark Reaper
Thunderhawk Blue
Tyrant Skull
Mourn Mountain Snow
Lamenters Yellow
Daemonette Hide
Etherium Blue
Blackfire Earth
Lustrian Undergrowth
The trade brochure for the Best Sellers range has red dots next to the paints and when I asked what that was that's when I was told.

certainly it seems likely that the demise of fantasy and the renaming of stuff in AoS might lead to some paint name changes, but this seems more than that (if true),
but then they 've already released new AoS colours and maybe there are more to come and this is just a rationalisation to make stuff fit in the paint racks?
whatever if any of the above are vital to a big project you've got running time to get a few spares in

Not sure why you're posting that in this thread?
They picked their "51 best selling paints"--there's nothing to do with discontinued paints in there.
I am new to air brushing, so maybe I don't know. For me, no dropper bottle no buy. Why would I want a bottle beside being an advantage for GW in us being able to use less.
What am I not seeing here? I guess also the price will keep me away as well. So high price, no dropper and not wanting to pay $30 for a dropper will be no buy.
What am I not getting here?

Those pots are a huge turn off. I know some folks will keep pushing pipettes but as a long time airbrush owner I'll take a dropper bottle ANY day over fiddling with another pipettes. Airbrushes already have enough components and messy endeavors without getting the paint into the damn gun.
Vallejo already makes more then enough colors with a natch to just about every color on that list plus more paint per pot which already matches GW's normal price per standard pot, if these are any higher I really see no use for the line .
Automatically Appended Next Post: BTW the biggest benefit from a dropper bottle besides the ease of use is the fact that they are easier to keep clean, and you can force the air out of the dropper before capping them. With those GW pots your paint will dry up faster and the crust that inevitably forms on the rim will pollute your paint equaling more clogs in your brush.

I really doubt people saying "why would I want these when I already use vallejo" are the target market, to be honest. It's sensible for GW to do a line of airbrush paints to try and dissuade people from buying their paint elsewhere, that's all. I doubt they really think they're going to tempt experienced painters away from other ranges.
No worries, the GW airbrush will be a "plasma gun" in shape.
With an air backpack and the compressed air "charges" you plug in.
The special safety glasses and mask will look like "Tempestus" gear.

I have every Vallejo airbrush paint and yet am super excited to see these. If the work unthinned on Iwata BH/CH size nozzles, they will replace 75% if my airbrush paint, even though I love Vallejo Air.
Why?
I HATE how many colors have no match between model color and model air (like, 75% of the colors). Like a particular shade of red or blue? Too bad the paintbrush version is just a little darker and has a different satin to the finish. There are a couple where paints have the same names, but the colors are different!!Game air/color is much better, but some some of those (like moon yellow) have insanely bad coverage. The other issue is that nobody local stocks game air, and I must sometimes wait 3+ weeks for it.
OTOH, I really prefer droppers fir airbrush.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, one other thing -- I was just told that the Vallejo distributor is no longer taking back defective paints, so if this happens, I must contact Vallejo myself. That's a huge turn-off, though I have only ever had 3 or 4 defective paints out of a few hundred.
