Is Games Workshop Getting Rid of Citadel Paint?

Some sites posted up recently that Citadel Paints were going to online only, which seems kinda silly. Come see the real skinny from GW.

Believe it or not some of the highest sales per square foot in a game store come from the paint rack. Trust me Games Workshop will never get rid of their paint racks!

With the epic new Dry range of paints hitting the shelf tomorrow along side the double sized shades we have to make a bit of space in our paint rack, that means that the following colours will be heading to the web-store. They’re not being removed, just re-located to online only.

As such if you use any of these colours on a regular basis you should probably load up on them today smile emoticon

The paints that are leaving the store shortly are……

*Blackfire Earth
*Lustrian Undergrowth
*Mourn Mountain Blue
*Lamenters Yellow
*Warpfield Grey
*Thunderhawk Blue
*Dark Reaper
*Daemonette Hide
*Bestigor Flesh
*Ratskin Flesh

Now that seems to make more sense, cycling out the older products that are not selling for newer colors. If you haven’t picked up White Dwarf #94 yet be sure to get your Citadel Painting system fold out guide as well.
