New Paints on the Way?


Solid Zaku

Recommended Posts

I've come to notice something about the recent set of GW news on the site. It looks like they're constantly making up new paint color mixes, with rather Citadel-sounding names. Take their article on painting the Dark Eldar, specifically their Kabal of the Black Heart section. Makes me think that something new's coming.

 

Kabal Green

Webway Green

Nightmare Blue

Grotesque Gold

 

Hmm...

you obviously just didn't read the article properly, those are paint mixes the studio artists came up with names for, they've provided the recipes for them.

 

But why name them? They've never bothered naming mixes before. And mixed colours have become produced colours before as well - Kommando Khaki is pretty much the Scorched Brown/Bleached Bone mix from the original Tau codex (albeit without the mixes awesome coverage).

It should also be noted that the colours aren't exactly new either, Kabalite Green and Webway Green are just the discontinued Scaly Green and Jade Green by another name. Nightmare Blue is either the Midnight Blue or the ooold* Nightworld Blue (I forget whether the former was lighter or simply the latter renamed). If memory serves Grotesque Gold is pretty close to either Beaten Copper or Brazen Brass.

 

* dear god, I'm actually old enough to remember that coming out :)

The artist came up with these names simply for quick reference so he didn't have to repeat lengthy concatenated mix names multiple times in the article. As far as fortress grey... it's still alive and well (available on US online store). Where did you hear about it getting replaced? By "Adept Grey" do you mean the foundation paint "adeptus battlegrey" - which is far darker than fortress?
