Bryan Blaire Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 :lol: I'm calling dibs on the one you don't end up chaining! Another item that I haven't seen chained, but I guess could be possible, and sort of out of left field: rather than making a million different Chapter shoulder pads, what if they had masking tape style "stick, paint, then peel" iconography painting stencils?

plastic_slug Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 An expansion of decals/dry transfers/stencils to cover many more chapters than the lame Ultramarines sheet you get in pretty much every box wouldn't be a bad thing. In the end, I guess they will consider their marketing campaign successful, since we are talking about it, even if expecting something lame and disappointing!

MithrilForge Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 @Bryan Blaire - i like your reasoning and explanations,it was an enjoyable read... My guess is the Paint Pens... it's a tool but it's also a paint... i would consider it a Painting weapon who knows though! GW sometimes comes out with the wildest things i would like to see a high end redo on the "Hand Flamer" base coat gun with an added backpack compressor complete with fleur-de-lis symbols emblazoned all over it pre-primed models would never happen ...i would scrape most of the paint off removing mold lines Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354885-50-shelves-of-grey/page/2/#findComment-5288433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaVolt87 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I have enough troubles with regular labels/stickers. I dread to think how bad I would mess up a sticker transfer. Its probably some airbrush, if it is I hope its quality/ utility will match the price tag GW gives it. I would not be upset if the hype was just for dropper bottles.

klisof Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'm leaning towards it being an air brush, I know I said i would be surprised by that before but looking at the painting guides in the april WD they all say use an air brush at some point. It might just be because they've been written by the FW team but it seems like a hint to me!

Hollenweger Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 im leaning towards colour plastic, they coloured kits are coming out of China so if they do this they would be slashing their costs across thier main lines my out of left field option is that they are moving to dropper bottles XD Dropper bottles would make me so very happy!

This would be my vote for things I want. GW has some unique colors that I can not find anywhere else, however I have issues with the current pots. My vote for most likely to happen is an airbrush. Colored plastic seem like a bit much, what colors would they do? Would they have a box of yellow IK and another of green IK, seems like a logistics nightmare. Another thing I don't see, and is very plausible, and great for amateur painters is, pre-thinned paint. Even some GW airbrush range sometimes needs thinning.

Feral_80 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 This all seems far too elaborate. Btw, an airbrush sh was already produced by GW years ago and it was an astonishingly overpriced piece of junk. Not really looking forward to a second iteration. The first thing I thought when I watched this (brilliant) video is, it must be something helpful to quickly paint *large* numbers of models: that is the focus of the clip. So nothing elaborate - quite the opposite, in fact. Sadly, my guess is: GW is finally cloning Army Painter's Quickshade line. It's quick, it' easy to use, and it's total garbage: seems to suit.

Btw, an airbrush sh was already produced by GW years ago and it was an astonishingly overpriced piece of junk. Not really looking forward to a second iteration. This isn't quite true, what they produced was a Spray-Gun not an Airbrush and was marketed as such. The two have very distinct purposes. The biggest flaw with the GW Hand-Flamer Spray-Gun (other than cost, all GW products are priced high) was the air cans it was designed for, it was ergonomically a bit rubbish too, but as a base coating or undercoating tool it was perfectly functional.

Suggestions run the gamut from colored plastic (which they already do, so clearly isn't too elaborate) to decal stickers (stickers aren't that elaborate) to paint pens, shades in dipping containers, and the airbrush idea (which it probably won't be).

Brother, if that servo skull can paint miniatures for me, I'll pay whatever price GW names. If GW sells a servo skull that can paint my models I would fly back to the States and camp a GW store to get one first. I would rather play than assemble/build.

MegaVolt87 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 *Rummages in bookcases* Yeah I got that how to paint citadel miniatures book, I really like it it has more individuality on how they use paints, not like the citadel paint app that uses the same method/ paints for apparently different results. I use the CD as a drinks coaster though. Next one should have the content on a USB drive, you can compress video enough these days to do it. Also next book should be much thicker, moar contents.

DistroyA Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 If it's to be another airbrush, I think the most logical thing they could do is team up with a company that already specialises in that product, such as Iwata, Badger, or even Harder and Steenbeck. With how shoddy the last attempt was (from what I've heard), I doubt they'd be willing to make their own again.

Bryan Blaire Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 To be fair, the last one was called a hand sprayer or spray brush or something to that effect, and it was really only shown as intended to base coat/spray an entire set of models in one color - it wasn’t billed as an “air brush” in any traditional sense, and the only time I saw them act as if it had fine control was for an April Fools joke. It was like an even worse rattle-can, and the fact that it looked like a plastic hand Flamer attempt didn’t help any.

DistroyA Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Aye, I have read that. I do use the term "airbrush" loosely when I speak of that contraption. Again, I've never seen one, at least in person. Only ever read about it.

It was like an even worse rattle-can, and the fact that it looked like a plastic hand Flamer attempt didn’t help any. It was the citadel spray gun. It's quite similar to a rearranged badger 350 with the rather silly flamer plastic shroud - it certainly uses the badger hose and feed fittings. I still have mine; after using it once or twice at the time it definitely went in the bottom of the tools box due to the poor quality spray and clogging. I came across it not that long ago, and thought I'd give it a whirl for a laugh. It is actually not bad when drawing from a proper compressor, with paint properly diluted with airbrush thinner. It's still an external mix single action brush with siphon feed. It's not going to compare in precision or atomisation to a proper internal dual-action airbrush, but it was never advertised as such - it was supposedly an alternative to rattle cans for priming and base coating and easier to maintain than a 'proper' airbrush. You can still get half decent lines out of it with the right paint and sufficient air. Here's a review of the 350 in action. The biggest flaw was trying to sell it for use with aircans - external mix brushes do need more air pressure to work properly. Then diluting foundation paint with water... no wonder the experience was terrible. And it did need proper cleaning after use, just like a more complex airbrush does. In some ways, it was ahead of its time. You could sell it now with a cheap compressor and a big bottle of the citadel airbrush thinner and people would have a much better time of it, even though the plastic is kinda cheap and you might as well get a 350 if that's the sort of thing you're after. Though of course, internal-mix gravity feed airbrushes have become far more accessible and affordable in the last decade.
