Here is the confirmed pricing for the new Citadel Color Paints, Black Library releases, White Dwarf, and more!
Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these pre-orders from Games Workshop that will go up for pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, July 2nd, 2022, around 1 pm EST!
New Citadel Color Paints, Black Library & More Pricing Confirmed!
There are over 30 new and redone GW contrasts and shades. One thing to note about all the paints is they will be on a 2-week pre-order. We’re not really sure if they will sell out or what but might as well grab something if you really like it just in case.
New Citadel Contrast Paints $7.80 Each
Contrast has revolutionised the way we paint our armies. This massively successful range has allowed hobbyists of all levels to achieve the results they want in a quick, fresh, and easy way. The already-impressive Contrast lineup is set to receive 25 new hues.
Since the introduction of Contrast, we’ve had access to new techniques and easier ways to paint huge amounts of models quickly, so new options are always great!
These are some of the brightest and boldest colours yet, including fiery reds and oranges, icy blues, and vibrant greens and purples. They all go up for pre-order this Saturday, so clear some space on your shelves* and start dreaming up new ways to put the expanded range to use.
These are quite bright across the board, so it will be interesting to see what hobbyists come up with as far as usage goes.
New & Reformulated Shades $7.80 Each
All Shade paints have been reformulated to flow better, settling into the recesses while adding a bit less pigment to flat surfaces, making them even more useful.
In addition to reformulating these beloved paints (and don’t fret, they’re the same great colours – they just go on smoother and better than ever before) they went ahead and added seven new Shade paints to the range! There’s something here for just about every project, and you’ll be able to pre-order all the new and reformulated existing colours starting this Saturday.
Shades are another great technical option for painting and new options are once again, always great!
The new options look pretty interesting, and with an update to all shades, hopefully, they all are better in the long run too…
White Scar Spray $22
Sometimes you just need a crisp, bright white undercoat to give your model the perfect start – and that’s where the new White Scar Spray comes in. It’s the perfect compliment to the existing sprays – Grey Seer offers a wonderful cool white, and Wraithbone a rich, creamy base – and now the trinity is complete! White Scar gives you that brilliant white base you’ve always wanted.
Pure white is a good undercoat assuming you want to paint bright colors! This new primer is a great tool for any hobbyist, especially since it pairs well with contrast paints.
White Dwarf 478 $11
478 is an essential issue for sci-fi fans, with expanded rules for terrain in Kill Team, and the first in a new series of articles for the latest edition of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.
White Dwarf always has a little bit for everyone, so if you like browsing a variety of things about Warhammer this is a great pickup for you.
