Just in time for Christmas, the mega paint set is showing up as an advanced order on the GW site...
Doesn't look like they have changed anything (other than the new brushes).

That's a much better bargain than the 180 dollar price point of the equivalent Vallejo game color 72 paint set.

Well its a good deal for us Aussies compared to buying all the paints separately at AU$6 each. Do the math and you get 5 paints for free and everything else is thrown in too. I think its $400ish in Aus.

Very pricey, I really don't see why they have to produce a paint set that's so expensive and probably out of the price range of most hobbyists, to be honest they should release small paint packs like they did back in the day , anybody remember this cool set ?

If AT LEAST they had repackaged every paint to have Foundation-like lids I'd consider it, but here... Meh!
Same old "limited release" Mega-Paint set they release every Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving...

I wonder if you can write to GW and have them replace all the other washses with just more pods of Devlan Mud? Or maybe just fill the flock tubs with Devlan Mud instead?

I still don't understand who would buy this. The way I see it is if you're just starting out, you're not going to fork out that much money for paints. If you've been into the hobby for a while, you've got most of the paints already and probably don't need to replace all of them at the same time....

By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

are the new foundation lids better or worse than the regular ones? like stated earlier, it looks like the mega set switched to them. does anyone know if the ml per bottle stayed the same with the switch? gw tends to use packaging changes to LOWER the amount of paint in each pot.

Last Remaining Whole C'Tan
|
40x color paints - $148
18x foundation - $66.60
8x washes - $29.60
7x metallics - $25.90
4x tubs basing mats - $33
10x brushes - $55.70
Glue - $8.50
total $367.30
Warstore - $198
I agree with the people who state they don't know whom this is aimed at (rich new players) but I disagree with those who call this a bad deal. Obviously some GW things are hideously overpriced, like the glue (or the non-mega set for $367), but the current price of $198 is about right for what you get, IMO. I think it unlikely you can the same amount of stuff in a "better" brand like Vallejo/Reaper or whatever, include the other stuff, and have it cost less then $200, even factoring in things like subbing 50 cents worth of elmers for the $8 PVA.

On the GW site everything (foundation, washes, normal paints) are listed as 12ml.

Judging by the picture in WD 357 its going to come in a plastic case. Looks like its the exact same case as the tool kit.

Those foundation paints, and the washes, are really great products. Having said that, the retail on this is a bit OTT.

They have the same amount of paint (12 mL). I prefer the rubbery foundation lids since the old ones would pop open if left in the heat.

I would rather buy this one pack than each bit of it seperately. In British pounds it works out about £252.25 for the lot and you can get it for £150 so over all it aint actually all that bad

yeah,
when i decided to replace all my paints i bought two paint sets. one for home and one for work... it's so nice to use a full set of fresh paint.
I bought mine when it was the metal case, with plastic paint trays... does this new case mean that they just stuff the paint into standard foam troop trays? if so you gotta factor in that you also get a standard carry case.
Panic.
