Ties up with an old rumour video from Valrak, which iirc was regarding a new pro range for paints?

[Alby the Slayer]

Wow, leaks, leaks everywhere!

 

Weird logo, I guess for all the games/miniature. Everything is Warhammer now .

It's the leakend again. I'll see myself out.

Guess the timing kinda makes sense, drop 'em right as a new 40k edition is releasing and a lot of people are presumably coming back to the GW-sphere.

Speak for yourself, James Workshop! You'll need me before I need you!

Thamar Black is, well, black magic. That stuff covers even over white/light grey with only one or two coats. And it lasts forever. I've pulled bottles out after 15+ years and they are still as fresh as the day they were made.

 

Also, P3's Khador Red is one of the best hot rod reds out there.

If the pots are the same of the classic paints, it will be a new heresy all over again!

I'll have you know, I only consume the finest metallic flakes from pots of Vallejo Metal Colour. Or Liquid Metal when I've got company I need to impress.

I can hear the vindication from here.

 

I just want to see how much they differ from a consistency standpoint from the main range. If I am going to be paying more than I do for Pro Acryl or AK for these things, I do not want the "oh cool, new warhammer paint, oh, it's dry/clumpy" when I open the pot for the first time. The last few times I've gone to the local GW for paint (they were lighter colors but still), they've either been super clumpy or some other issue around 50% of the time. I know the store will probably replace it, but it isn't an issue with most other paint ranges, especially when other ranges include mixing balls as part of the cost. 

 

Also super interested to see the marketing behind it. 

 

"oh here's some more advanced tutorials for you folks to get the most out of your paints!" ^{available only on Warhammer+}

 

Still, snark aside, I'll probably try them at one point unless there are some non-creator program reviews that say they're about the same.

I dread to think of the cost. I can't see myself getting this stuff.

Two Thin Coats and Pro Acryl is getting away with charging £4.50 (RRP) in the UK, so I have to expect they'll see that and round up to £5.00 a pot, if not £5.50. 

 

Ultimately us grouchy internet folks aren't really their target audience.

If it's not in dropper bottles I'm out. I already transferred my old GW paints into dropper bottles and started buying stuff from other brands years ago. I might get these if these are good. I can't imagine myself going through a whole bottle of liquitex medium to revive a bunch of Citadel paints again.
