That’s right! Chain down your wallet because Forge World’s Airbrush paint line looks to be returning along with even more new ones with Contrast in June!
Two big hobby announcements back to back! First Contrast, and now even more new paint for hobbyists!
Industry Insiders have given us the latest word from the lineup to the pricing of the new Contrast paints. But what’s even more exciting is that all the Forge World paints that were canceled last summer are coming back. The rumors from earlier may have been confirmed.
Let’s start with the announcement from earlier on new paints, and take it from there:
Contrast Paints: $7.80 Per Pot
Contrast paints are going to be coming in what appears to be an 18mL pots running $7.80 a piece.
Contrast paints are also coming with more new base paints to give your models the proper foundation. Industry Insiders have said that the Grey Seer and Wraithbone paint pots (pictured above) will be part of an add-on of around 15 new base paints to the existing line, for use with the Contrast paints.
They will be priced at $4.55 ea
If some of the names of those new base paints seem familiar, they are! Several of them, in fact, look to be derived from the previous airbrush paint line that Forge World sold up until last summer. Speaking of which…
Forge World’s Airbrush Paints Are Coming Back?
Alongside contrast paints, Forge World’s old airbrush paint line seems to be hitting the market again through normal Games Workshop retail channels as well!
Going off of name alone, all 26 of the previous FW paints look to be returning, and will be hitting store shelves alongside Contrast soon:
As you can see by our exclusive full list of new airbrush paints above, they look to be returning! Industry Insiders and retailers alike have confirmed these new air paints will be retailing for $7.80/pot.
No word yet on the size of these points, however the previous pot size when they were available last is rated at 18ml. That may mean that the Contrast paints, which are priced the same as the previous Forge World lineup air paints, may also come in 18ml pots as well.
Contrast pot appears to be larger than 12ml but smaller than 24ml, perhaps 18ml?
All in all, on top of all the one thick coat excitement, we’re also getting a surprise new Base paint lineup geared towards contrast and a Forge World air paint re-release. What do you think your painting table is going to be loaded with in the near future, now? Are you going to be branching out to the new Contrast paints? What kind of Forge World air paint was your favorite? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
