It's always a big day when Games Workshop release a new batch of paints, and - $300 later - we too have dived headlong into the new range. The videos online have been interesting for this release, with mostly favourable comments about the consistency and vibrancy of the new range. Many people have concentrated on the new yellows, reds and purples that cover so well - a big change from the current paint range - but for us it's more about the new and reformulated Shades which off that pastel style so common in many European painter's play-book. If you hadn't noticed, by the way, this is a two week pre-order window so don't start priming expecting to have them next weekend!
Let's start with the big attention getter for most in this release and that's the Contrast range, which promises better coverage and a more intense pigment; Garaghak's Sewer, Black Legion, Ratling Grime, Mantis Warriors Green, Aeldari Emerald, Gutrippa Flesh, Karandras Green, Striking Scorpion Green, Ironjawz Yellow, Bad Moon Yellow, Imperial Fist, Kroxigor Scales, Briar Queen Chill, Frostheart, Pylar Glacier, Asurmen Blue, Celestium Blue, Stormfiend, Leviathan Purple, Luxion Purple, Sigvald Burgundy, Dreadful Visage, Doomfire Magenta, Baal Red, Magmadroth Flame plus the reformulated Hexwraith Flame and Nighthaunt Gloom.
The Shade range isn't as long, with a range that will be brilliant for subtle shading; Kroak Green, Poxwalker, Targor Rageshade, Mortarion Grime, Tyran Blue, Berserker Bloodshade and our favourite, the Soulblight Grey, which is dirtied up a bit could make an amazing change to many hobbyist's difficulty with doing a realistic white. The rest of the existing Shades range has also been reformulated, with the Gloss version of Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, and Reikland Fleshshade, plus Cryptek Armourshade Gloss being discontinued.
Also on the way is the new spray, White Scar, which promises less of the sandpaper finish and like the other Contrast sprays, a smooth even finish. They really are a big step up!
Now if you want to get these in sets, plus a little bonus gift, then the New Contrast Paints & Mug and the New Shade Paints & Mug Bundles are for you!
Away from paints, there a cool new decal sheet for the Thatos Pattern Hab Modules, so jump on these as they disappear!
Now to the crappy, sorry CLASSIC, release of the week and it's the miniatures that back in the day tuned me totally off the idea of mutations, it's the Skaven Mutations and Chaos Mutations in Made to Order. However, on the positive side, there are the metal Blood Bowl Trophies which look really nice!
Next week there's also White Dwarf 478.
