hurray! wait, "specially designed" for orks? more like "let's get rid of the best colour and replace it with the exact same colour, only brighter!"

Mmm. . . . no more little bits at the end of the phone for custom jobs and now the inks are going.
Have GW got someone new in the higher echelons with a large hatchet!

P.S I'll have a can of air and a bag of sand!

How the hell can they stop tentacle pink!? BLASPHEMY!! I need that for my nids .

I do hope they don't put all the paints in the foundation style pots. That rim around the edge when you opened it was my main mixing platform! Now with the foundation ones I have to make space for a mixing plate or something... *head explodes whilst trying to work out how to make space on already overcrammed modeling desk*

Still, my local toyshop hardly ever stocks up on new Games Workshops stuff, so me and Seasonreaper will be alright ;Y hee hee!

:happy:

I think I'll miss Majenta Ink the most....

I used to have a heavily-converted brass-armoured marine army.

Now I will have a marine army. Thanks, GW, thanks a lot!

Aww Midnight Blue is a great colour as if axe it. No remorse over bad moon yellow as a loss though I campaigned against that colour.

Toxic, the absence of brass wont kill the blood god as the release of the woeful 4th ed chaos codex did that already.

Hot pants pink? that better be a joke I mean come on do they want their 12 year old customers to feel even more alienated by their school chums when they come over and their mum makes em cookies and jimmy and his new found friend timmy go into his room to play, subtely timmy sees the oddly named paint material and makes haste back home, away from jimmy's life, leaving him all alone and in the cold.
The next day jimmy left school short of a limb... and his dignity.

I like the idea of a hand flamer.

Here the list of discontinued paints:
Brazen Brass
Midnight Blue
Fiery Orange
Bronzed Flesh
Tentacle Pink
Bad Moon Yellow
Terracotta
Mixing Pot
The ink line (being redone as pre-thinned foundation ones)

My friend who manages the local GW store here told me they are also discontuing Tanned Flesh and Burnished Gold. He might have mentioned a couple more but I honestly don't remember.

That sucks. I used Tanned flesh both as a base for flesh colors and as highlights for red.
