The Tale of 40k Painters 2011-2012 MONTH 7 (FEB completed work & MAR WIP)

[f2k]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the support.

I hope I can be back with my orks for the next tale (or perhaps something else if I can get going on them again soon), bet I guess we’ll just have to see about that.

As for the change in paints, it wouldn’t have affected me at all since I switched to Vallejo a long time ago and never looked back...

A quick question from me: with us being halfway through the Tale, are the Citadel Paint changes going to affect anyone? Personally, I should have enough of my existing colours to finish the Tale with, but I'll probably use the new colours when I expand my Dark Eldar (as it won't matter too much if my Warriors are slightly different from my Wyches).

I thought the existing range was still there except with new names and then they've added 70 odd new ones?

I stocked up on my main GW colors(foundations, metals and washes) when I heard of the changes a couple months back. I am good for at least a year or more.

@Doi - They are a new manufacturer some new is close but all are different product, thus the name changes. Waiting for reviews on consistency and coverage etc to appear.

The paint change shouldn't affect me, I have plenty of most of my paints left... I can match colours pretty well if I do have to, anyway.

Its going to mess me up. I have been using 3-4 pots of Devlan Mud per month on my orks. I am going to give Vallejo a try. The Umber Hide wash is similiar from what my research has shown.

Need to get some mud I use ooodles of it on most every fig in my log.

Well its basically out of print and unavailable. There is a chart out there they just have renamed it. I might still get the vallejo equivialent to tide me over until the new paints are out.
The New Renamed version of Devlan Mud is Agrax Earthshade.

Well atleast I have enough to keep the skin on my orks the same or close.
