What is staying, and what is going? Don’t miss all of the changes to the complete line of Citadel Color paints that is happening soon.
In addition to Contrast paints, Warhammer Community says they’re releasing a whole new range of paints including Base, Layer, Technical, and Air paints. In what they’re calling a new era of paints, GW is also releasing some new colors! They are intended to be “tailored for a wider range of armies.”
As reported earlier in the week, it’s not just Contrast coming to game stores that buy the new $4,000 paint rack. There is a lot more:
Play Horus Heresy? You’ll be able to take advantage of new Base paints tailored to your Legion, from Night Lords Blue to Nocturne Green.
The new paint range is about making awesome results accessible for everyone, however they paint. We haven’t forgotten about you airbrushers out there, and to help you in your work, we’re relaunching the entire Air range! These paints are still the same great airbrush-ready formulation, but now in a larger pot for your convenience and with a wider range of colors, including a number of paints previously available through Forge World’s Air range.
Contrast paints are right around the corner. Because of that, we may be seeing some of GW’s less popular/niche paints go to the wayside. As with any business at some point, the slow movers have to get removed from the range and replaced with something new.
This paint promises to give you Battle Ready results in a single coat – you’re gonna want to grab a pot just to see it work for yourself…
Last but not least, with a total of thirty-four paints, we should be able to capture just about any color we want to on our models.
…we’ve got Stormshield – the new matte varnish specially designed to protect your Contrast paintwork! Stormshield also provides your models with an attractive matte finish, and works just as well over regular Citadel paints.
Raring to get stuck in with the new paints? Already been planning out colour schemes for your army? We don’t blame you – which is why we’re very excited to announce the new Battle Ready Paint Sets! Available for a limited time, this offer lets you save money when you order your paints, allowing you to select the paints you need to get your army Battle Ready.
How it works is simple – all you need to do is order 4 Base paints, 2 Shade paints, 3 Contrast paints and 1 Technical paint to finish your miniatures off, and we’ll let you have them all for a special promotional price. Some terms and conditions apply – we’ll have more details for you closer to the time.
Looks like Contrast was just the beginning, as one thick coat looks to be more about “buy 10 bottles”?
Regardless, these paints all go live for pre-order on June 8 and we’ll be trying them out for you then!
Which of these new paints are you looking forward to the most? Will you be transforming your gaming experience? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group, and get your free hobby updates each morning as well!
