Get the scoop on Games Workshop’s new Servo-Skull Palette, which dovetails perfectly with the rumors of a Citadel Pro paint range with dropper bottles!
Servo-Skull Palette & New Citadel Pro Paints: What’s Next for GW Paints?
So, you’ve got your armies ready to crush enemies in the grim darkness of the far future (or in the mortal realms, if that’s more your speed), but what about the tools to make them look their absolute best on the tabletop?
Games Workshop’s latest hobby addition is here to add a little extra flair to your painting setup. But wait – there’s more. Rumors are brewing, whispers straight from the halls of Terra (or maybe Nottingham) about some major changes coming to the beloved Citadel paint range. Let’s break it down – from Servo-Skulls to dropper bottles – and get a glimpse of what may be coming next in your hobby arsenal.
The Citadel Servo-Skull Palette: More Than Just a Painting Tool
For those who like a little grimdark with their art supplies, Games Workshop has rolled out the Servo-Skull Palette, a charming blend of practicality and lore. Sure, you could use any old palette, but why not channel your inner Magos Biologis and dabble in the arcane science of miniature painting with a tool straight out of the 41st Millennium?
Crafted from flexible silicone, this palette is designed for durability and ease of cleaning, but let’s face it – the fact that it’s shaped like a Servo-Skull is what really sells it. Who wouldn’t want to add a bit of gothic flair to their painting desk? With 24 wells of varying sizes, it’s more than just eye candy – it’s an efficient tool that can hold all your paints in an organized fashion. And when the painting session is over, cleaning up is as satisfying as a loyal servitor carrying out a command. Just let the paint dry, peel it off, and wash it with warm water. No mess, no fuss.
This palette seems to be a goodbye to the old Citadel Colour Palette Pad. It’s a small but notable shift, symbolizing Games Workshop’s push for more sustainable products – much like the ever-faithful Servo-Skulls themselves, made from the remains of dedicated Imperial servants who continue their duty in death. There’s something wonderfully poetic about that.
Plus, it’s perfect for hobbyists of all skill levels, whether you’re painting your first Space Marine or adding the final touches to your 30th legion of battle-hardened Orks. The Servo-Skull Palette ensures that you’ve got the right tool for the job while keeping things stylishly grimdark.
Rumors of a New Citadel Pro Paint Range: For the Paintbrush Warriors
It seems like the winds of change are blowing through the Citadel paint range, with whispers of a new line aimed at those who really know their way around a brush. This supposed “Citadel Pro” paint range seems tailor-made for painters who demand nothing less than perfection. Word on the street is that Games Workshop may finally be caving to years of requests by switching to dropper bottles. No more cracking open those pots of paint like they’re sacred relics from the Golden Throne itself – this rumored change could revolutionize paint storage and application for the community.
If this happens, it’s not just a matter of convenience. Dropper bottles are a godsend for measuring out the exact amount of paint you need, reducing waste, and making your paints last longer. And while this move may be aimed at the higher echelon of painters, it’s bound to benefit everyone, from casual painters to those who seem to possess the Emperor’s own steady hand.
Timing-wise, it all lines up rather neatly. We know GW loves to do a three-year cycle for 40k, AoS, and paints. So, this actually perfectly follows that schedule, with AoS rebooting in 2024 and 40k getting 10th in 2023, which only leaves the paint range for 2025.
Whether this means a full overhaul or just an expansion, we can expect something significant. After all, Games Workshop loves a good three-year cycle, and they’ve been in the miniature painting business long enough to know when it’s time for a change.
As the rumors swirl, one thing is clear: Games Workshop is always pushing forward, whether it’s through new products like the Servo-Skull Palette or perhaps an upcoming evolution of their paints. And for those of us who spend hours hunched over tiny models, brush in hand, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the hobby.
Final Thoughts on the Citadel Colour Range
The Servo-Skull Palette offers both flair and function, proving that even in the grim darkness of the far future, there’s room for artistic innovation. And as rumors of new Citadel paints swirl through the warp, it’s clear that Games Workshop is always looking for new ways to keep our brushes busy. So, get ready to shake up your painting routine and prepare your shelves for whatever warp-fueled changes come next – because for the Warhammer and miniature painting hobby, there’s always something exciting on the horizon.
