Over the years I've come to accept that the hobby changes. However I've got a small problem that I can't seem to work around. GW has discontinued my paint, and now, with only about half of my army painted, I'm going to have to find a replacement source of paint. (I need Lightning blue, and Vile green) or strip and repaint my whole army and pray they don't do it again (I've got about 40 sisters painted so far, plus about the same color of matching guardsmen/storm troopers)
Is there a source for the discontinued GW paints?

Yes, I think it is called Coat D'arms, they were GW's former paint supplier.
Valliejo also made a line of copycat paints based on GW that should have a lightning blue substitute.

Some GW paints were renamed but still exist. Trouble is I dont know which ones. GW are disinterested in previous stock.

I've had a poke around, and apparently Vallejo don't have a direct copy of lightning blue, but that their Model Colour Sky Blue is extremely close. They do have a direct copy of Vile Green, which is Game Colour Foul Green (See what they did there?)
Handily, Vallejo paints are about the same price as GW ones, and are much much better, so long as you shake well, and water down a bit.

Actually Vallejo does carry that color in the Game Color line. It is 023 Electric Blue. Here is a chart for finding other long lost GW paints from Vallejo. http://www.game-mart.co.uk/colour_chart.cfm Oh and I only paint with Vallejo now. I could never go back.
