Eeek, that's scary/. You'd need a rolled up newspaper the size of an oil tanker to deal with that.

I am currently sitting here mixing olive oil and water into my old citadel paints to try to get some life into the six old bastards. I HATE YOU PUNDABAYA! *shakes fist*

I nearly bought Dawn of War but held off because I often get bored of FPSs quite quickly (even though I enjoy them loads for that brief period.. I'm just odd I guess). But that looks great!

Right, after a 6 year hibernation period, out of 30 or so paints I've lost 7 pots to the ravages of time. Others had just separated and need a vigorous stir, others needed a bit of oil and water to bring them back to life. Now I have to brave the nerdlinger crowds at a Games Workshop store to stock back up on the paints I lost. :nerd:

Meh, they used to be £1.50 10 years ago.

Post subject:  Re: Tabletop wargaming - a quick survey
I remember when they were 75p and they went up to £1, then £1.50 within the space of a year about ten years ago. I'm shocked they're only £2, to be honest.

I've been waiting for this. As my OCD (gotta catch 'em all!) twitched every time I went past the paint section of GW, I had nearly 100 paints and inks at one point, and spent almost as much money on that as I did on models.

I'd suggest looking on ebay. GW may own all the rights to WH40K, but they don't hold any copyright on acrylic paints.

Or brave the nerdlinger crowds at more generic hobby/gaming stores and get some Vallejo paints.

I think distance nerdlinging is my thing. I've just found someone in the ebay stores who allows you to pick any 6 citadel paints or washes from the current or 2003 range for £10 with free delivery. Bostin.

The Vallejo paints come in "game" colors, such as "Bald Moon Yellow", and "Wolf Grey". They are £1.40 for seperate pots, cheaper in packs.

Even as we speak, research chemists are working on ways to make GW minatures explode when combined with non-GW paint. You know it's true.

You could also try Coat D'Arms paints, which are the original Citadel paints.

There used to be loads more Great Unclean one models. I used to have one with a belly mouth. Sold most of my stuff on carboots years ago and binned the rest.

Peeling the dried-up bits away from round the inner rim of the cap was one of my favourite bits about painting. It had that same feeling of satisfaction as picking a scab, only without the pain and permanent scarring.

Now shut up before you make me buy something.

Yes! With the old pots the dried paint came out all in one piece if you were lucky. The new paints (my friend and I were disgusted to see they were made in France) were crap for that though and didn't smell nearly as nice.

Nah, because I'm a serial non-completer, so I have about 15 models all half-painted right now and no finished ones.

Anyone pissed off about their dried out paints - please do have a read of this little explanatory rant.

EDIT - and, obviously - HAHAHAHHAH. You all fell into my nerdly trap. Noone can resist the lure of the gobsmackingly overpriced GW lead goodness. Or, for that matter, hundreds-of-pounds-per-vehicle Forgeworld goodness either.

Pah, GW became a money hungry whore when White Dwarf became a GW In House magazine circa 1990, this is very old news.
