So from the chart it looks like the top 51 colors of the 200+ Current Citadel colors will be made into color matched airbrush paints. Seems like they are taking a page from the Army Painter system where their paint pots match their aerosol sprays to make cleaning up mistakes easy.

I love the potential here with this new line for making hobbying easier and more appealing to both new and older players. For me it seems like the biggest problem with airbrushing in general is thinning down the paints themselves. If Games Workshop has solved that problem and made these paints ready to go out of the bottle, then the sky may truly be the limit for hobbying in the VERY near future.

I wonder if they plan on making a Citadel Airbrush in the near future for these paints as well? It seems like they have a Citadel branded item for every other hobby need, why not an airbrush too?

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
