Supposing that the rumoured paint change happens next month...

Great, more GW smarmy chav attitude. This is almost as bad as the "Liquid greenstuff plus tools to fix unusable finecast" kit. No fething thanks. I'm going to Vallejo...

Um, that's not actually an official article, GW aren't replacing their entire range (I hope) with just red, yellow, blue, white, and black along with a handy reference sheet. This is just someone cleverly playing with colour theory and GW paints.

I would be surprised if foundation and washes get replaced, the recent picture with the supposed new paints actually had a foundation paint there, as of for the rest, they will either keep the name and colour or will have a handy chart to tell us what new colours to use. Still, I might just put off starting to paint my new Necrons till after this happens. I think it will be for the better, the paints will probably be better, and I'm sure they aren't going to change the entire range, especially not the popular core paints.

neat...

but it doesn't concern me in the least, seeing as I have access to a book that contains over thirty thousand colors.

Don't be silly. Ignoring the fact that GW aren't doing what tht article talks about, and ignoring the fact that GWs liquid green stuff is identical to a vallejo product the fact is GW (and FW before them) should have been offering a liquid putty in their range years earlier. The stuff is great for sealing all those irritating hairline gaps between model bits.

I think some people are getting needlessly worried about this paint issue, maybe the whole range is being redone but I expect most of the colours you use now will still be available just in a different guise. The pigments for the most popular colours will either be the same or so damn close you wont notice.

Thanks for your support into my friend´s article...

Of course it´s not official, it´s only a trick from one of the most spanish´s renamed miniature painters of the european Games Days...

Only tried to help everyone with that, but seems some people still want to remain in idiocracy better than into knowledge

I would be absolutely shocked if GW got rid of Codex Gray. I don't think you need to worry, they sometimes seem clueless but there is no way they would anger their entire customer base by getting rid of all paints that match current colors.

Your friend is a fantastic painter, love his work! It equally inspires me and makes me wonder why I am even trying

Don't worry, there's a lot of us out here that loves to learn anything and everything we can about painting and modeling.

When low on paint many years ago I realised that Dark Angels Green plus Elf flesh makes Snot green and Goblin Green.

Love the article. Especially the 156 parts yellow in Khaki.

My FLGS (not the GW one) has a chart for GW colours to vallejo. Found this; [url]http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart[/url]

The 'Eavy Metal Team use Vallejo and Tamiya paints (and the old white dwarf team, dunno about the current guys) as shown in old pics of their workstations, and that the Tau were released in a non GW colour (Tau Spet Ochre being released a loooong time later).

Foundation paints and washes are brilliant, for everything else I buy elsewhere because its the same or higher quality, cheaper and has a bigger range of colours.

Looks as if I have another thing to be annoyed with GW about then. It irks me how they're always "improving" things and changes things. As for the paints themselves, I've only used two kinds:

The first being those exceptionally cheap and lousy paints you get a Walmart's crafts section. I used them when I first started out. And due to being poor I am reluctant to shell out the cash for ever increasingly expensive GW products. Nonetheless after seeing some models in person painted with their paint I made the switch.

How is the liquid green stuff? I'm a fan of regular green stuff but have found it difficult to fill gaps with.

[Kawauso]

Liquid GS is miraculous.

Seriously, get some. It makes gap-filling ridiculously easy.
