With the new paint pots being released (and the compulsory price increase :L ) some of the GW colours are getting replaced or phased out, Here is the list:

NEW COLOURS
Khaki Drill
Mid Flesh
Sand Yellow
Terracotta
Dark Flesh
Military Green

DISCONTINUED COLOURS
Leprous Brown
Imperial Purple
Vile Green
Bilious Green
Pallid Flesh
Ghostly Grey
Jade Green
Storm Blue
Lightning Blue
Smelly Primer
Nauseting Blue
Green Ink
Sky Blue Ink
Orange Ink
Beaton Copper  

I am gutted about lightning bolt blue, Imperial Purple  and Storm Blue, these are some of the colours I use the most :(

Well I don't use any of those anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. When you say "new" paint pots, it is a new lid? size? what???

Military Green sounds good though!

Cheers

Chris

I'm a little saddened to see the blues go away (there were too many anyway, but I had nearly most of them). Though I am very interested in hearing in what the new paint pots are going to be. Any official news from GW or Portent?

I believe the new paint pots are going to the same base bit- (the hexaganol clear bit), with simple new flip-top bits that just screw on, I havn't seen any pictures or anything yet, but thats what the main rumor was I believe....

I heard ages ago on Portent that they wanted new fliptops, but had to wait for the current contract to end.

Cheers

Seems like they are dispensing with the brights and going for a more traditional set. So, the names imply anyway.

I went to GW tonight and I heard the same thing. Flip Tops, cutting some paints, add new ones. All next month, April...
One word......great...... :L

I am most surprised about the Primer. Am I the only one who ises it? I fint it great, and one of the best primers out there. Does this mean that GW will not produce an undercoat? Who makes these decisions?  :-:

I know no-one who uses the smelly primer... its just a spray of Chaos Black or Skull White for most people I think...

I think it is a waste of time and resources to keep changing the paint pots. This wuldn't be the first time they axed a color I was fond of.  :angry:

Sure, its irritating to have some paints axed :angry: , but its great that the new paints will not simply dry out in about 3 months if you don't top them up with water... :D

Spray it black, thats it. No need for smelly primer. You'll have to stock up Cybershadow!!

Cheers

Yeah, old GW paints do not dry up- this is true!!
Its the newer ones that do- as they do not come with a flip-top lid, they do not seal properly, which allows air to get in, and thus, dries them out faster... :(
I have old paints I have been given that are over 10yrs old and are fine, on the other hand  have newer ones that have nearly dried in about 6 months!
-Hopefully this new paint pot design should prevent this though. :)
