New GW paints on their way?

[Leech]

I kinda miss the old inks... Not as easy to use as the washes, but great in a different role.

Alot of those inks can be made by just adding some of a similar paint colour to water. You then have aliquid that will do much the same job. GW's older inks were just like that, I use them on my bases for colouring the sand I use there. I've been re-topping them for a while now using a blob of paint and a little water now and again.

inks dry with a slight gloss finish that's intensified the more you put on, also you can re-wet inks allowing interesting blending effects using isopropanol and other inks (great for gore or rotten nurgley things). It's just one of those frustrating circumstances that the majority of people used inks like a wash so GW just assumed swopping them over wouldn't be an issue, for the most part it's not but because the two things are not identical some effects are now much more difficult to achieve without using gloss mediums and drying retardent (which alters your pigments opacity and makes the wash flow too slowly).

Still as said it's not like the old inks aren't obtainable, they are almost exactly the same and you get more of it for less money because it's not got all the silly branding on it.

As for the new paints I like the idea of a Triad system it seems to work well for other brands.

The inks had the outstanding properties of translucent color saturation that cannot be matched with the washes. Diluting the paint can get a similar color and that is what I have done - a mix of available paint, ink and wash to get a dead ringer for my beloved Chestnut Ink. However, it is still not the same - oh well - times and products change. I do really like the washes, though. They are great.

It's that slightly glossy finish that I really like about the inks. I still have a few original inks, never topped up or altered. I have that chestnut brown, as well as Orange, blue, sky blue, a darker brown and black.
Then I also have this other strange one. It is a citadel pot, one of the smooth sided tall round ones with a black soft plastic lid. The label says it is "Rust Brown". It goes on like an ink, with its coverage, but dries quite translucent, with an added metallic sheen you can't see until it dries.

I'm pretty sure I have about 5 different generations of paint pots, a lot with the original paint still in them.

what i would like to know is what they're getting rid of, or what "comparable" colors are replacing others if anyone has that info.

[323rdpraetorian]

I don't think they are getting "rid" of any colours, if anything it looks like they are essentially tripling their paint types! Thing is i will have no clue what paints to choose from when my paints run out!
All i hope is that yellow, white and all other bright colours become much easier to use!
AND BRING BACK COLOUR SPRAY PAINTS! >.<

Yes, white needs an improvement. I hate having to do 10000 thin layers to make it look half decent and then fail on the last coat and ruin things... lol
