skeletoro Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hey all, I'm transferring my GW paints to vallejo-style bottles and have noticed that I have up to 3 different incarnations of the "same" colour. As the bottles hold over 30 mL I have the option of just mixing them together... should I do this? I've got the following near-matches: Agrax earthshade Devlan mud Brown wash Badab black Nuln oil Black wash Imperial primer Undercoat black Golden yellow Yriel yellow Averland sunset Iyanden darksun etc etc... Some of them are merely similar (averland and iyanden) rather than very close (so mixing them would leave me with a shade very close to averland sunset - so when I run out I don't have to worry about trying in vain to match iyanden darksun, which no longer exists), and I gather that the inks/oils are better than the old washes so perhaps I shouldn't mix them? Would you mix any of these together? Where would you draw the line (e.g. not mixing washes and inks)?

skawolf Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I would mix the old washes with the new shade, but not the old inks as they are nothing like the current shade range.

skeletoro Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ah, right. Which citadel ranges are inks? My understanding is that inks are fundamentally liquid (rather than being a suspension of pigment) while washes can be made either out of acrylic paint (which has a suspension of solid pigment in it as well as medium) or they can be made out of ink. Is that right? In which case... which citadel ranges are actually inks, and which are just acrylic washes?

skawolf Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 So, not following my own advice. I mixed some old citadel red ink with my Baal red wash and a little matte varnish. It looks really good.
