ive not had any of the flip top paints dry up on me yet (the screw top ones have, but not the current flip tops). im still using paints that were made before i started gaming... 14 years ago(?).

"I brought this up in a previous thread but didn't have the list around. I have the list of all the paints being discontinued. I've been telling all the people I can at work, so that the people who use the colours can grab extra.

Brazen Brass
Midnight Blue
Fiery Orange
Bronzed Flesh
Tenticle Pink
Bad Moon Yellow
Terracotta
Mixing Pot
The ink line

Grab the ones you use while you can. The ink line won't be gone completely, per se, it is being replaced by a newer, better line of inks."Old 19-11-2007, 03:59 Atrum Angelus and brought up by someone new every week or so since then. :cry:
Paints can last for ages, I have some of the old citadel click pots (enchanted bluy silver etc) some of the newer design ones are less good, but I must admit I got a bit lost on which is the newest (and most people say stuff gets worse just for the sake of it).They should last a while if treated right. A mate left his box of paints (which became my box of paints) on a radiator and most of them dried up, but with some careful stirring and a bit of water most of them work fairly well again 8 years on.

As a conspiracy theorist I have to throw out the idea that the paints got weaker just so they could sell good paints as expensive paints, but my old skool player friends say I'm being delusional and that some foundation paints really do kick butt.

I don't know I don't do paints...I know that warseer was full of blokes saying well no wonder they are getting rid of X, its just Y+S, which I found a bit silly since surely all colours are a mix of certain primarys, maybe with a dash of metallics. To find out more dig through warseer.I'm lazy and its not a topic I know much about. Hope it helps a bit, KMB
