Chest of Colors forum

I don`t know if that topic was disscused yet so sorry for repeating.
According to WarSeer forum, GW is preparing new range of paints for their Citadel Colour series. The unusuall thing is that, that those paints will have a new producing receipe, which should make their pigment stronger. New paints are made as undercoats ! Whole line of colors, which like one of the testers said - "even yellow can cover black surface with one layer".

I haven`t seen those colors yet, but from my boss I had a new order list from GW, where those paints are included:

(12ML) ADEPTUS BATTLEGREY
(12ML) ASTRONOMICON GRAY
(12ML) CALTHAN BROWN
(12ML) CHARADON GRANITE
(12ML) DHENEB STONE
(12ML) FENRIS GREY
(12ML) GRETCHIN GREEN
(12ML) HORMAGAUNT PURPLE
(12ML) IYANDEN DARKSUN
(12ML) KNARLOC GREEN
(12ML) MACHARIUS SOLAR ORANGE
(12ML) MECHRITE RED
(12ML) MORDIAN BLUE
(12ML) NECRON ABYSS
(12ML) ORKHIDE SHADE
(12ML) TALLARN FLESH
(12ML) TAUSEPT OCHRE

All 18 paints can be also bought in one box.
Planned release will have place in March.

thanks, just heard the news yesterday from Benathai

It`s very interesting, I must say. The new line should be really helpful for non-hardcore hobbysts, who don`t use transparency/ wetblending on their minis. I`ve heard my friends complaining about poor coverage a few times, so they should be happy
But I don`t think many propainters will use them.

I wonder about the price of this set...

also wondering which colors they're gonna drop over time to 'make room' for these

I think the price will be the same as the current price. (which were rumoured to go up in price quite some time ago)

Okay, from what I know is that they'll be about the same price as the other paints and that for now they won't drop any other colours as when they switched to other (cap) bottles they already took out some colours. (later some new ones were added namely Komando Khaki, Terracotta, Graveyard Earth etc...)

They are mostly made as 'basing' paints and have a stronger pigment. As soon as I get samples or other news in I'll make another post!

This is very interesting, really want to test them them out!
