Painting articles missing and new GW paints rumour

Rangefinder · **Posted:** Thu Jan 19, 2012 4:18 pm

LotR and WotR articles for individual factions are gone.
I was looking at the Harad paint schemes yesterday, all gone today!

I wonder why they did that? I will just have to google other painting guides as I am only 1/2 way through painting my armies and still have loads to do... Oh well. Not really sure what they are doing, but I do wonder if I should continue this hobby!

Maybe, just maybe, they're going to put them in the new rule book? Maybe planning to bring out a 'how to paint lotr miniatures; guide... oh all these speculations :/

Generally if something is removed from the website, it appears again in a different format or in a diiferent place shortly after- the sky doesn't often fall...

I imagine if they are going to take the effort in taking them off, they will take the effort of putting it out there again in either hard copy or a different format.

They most probably be included on the upcoming books, which is a nice move, although I would like to see more than what was presented with the articles.

There are rumours they are revising the paint range.

How pointless...the only revision necessary is a price reduction. Who wants to start taking bets that they'll increase the price, and reduce the size? :no:

Who wants to start taking bets that the quality will significantly improve..?

Considering I have from a very good source that they're switching from a Chinese supplier to one in Michigan I believe, the quality SHOULD be better.

As if this would be a valid reason to remove the articles. It's really stupid and not customer friendly at all. Shall we all throw our colours in the garbage or what?

Where is this source from? And no we shouldn't throw away all our colours. But eventually we will use them all up and it will be replaced by this range.

I can't officially say since it would threaten the guy's job but it's someone who's well in the know of this.

Paint range revision makes a lot more sense than including them in the new LoTR books because they also took down almost all the Fantasy and 40,000 painting articles.

Still no reason to remove the articles. Its really annoying.

I have heard that GW will be releasing a bunch of new colors, and I bet they will rename a few. Ultramarine blue is not a unique moniker as an example and GW seems to like unique names. (scorched brown=burn umber, tallarn flesh etc.)

The real reason is far less buisnessy than that (even if they do release new colours).

Most of them use colours that ar eno longer sold by Games Workshop and/or are outdated.

You're missing a letter - it's Ultramarines blue, colour of the space marines of Ultramar.

Hah, your right. Just a note on which colors are made where. All the citadel color paint in the octagon bottles were made in france. The foundation colors were made in china. I do not have any of the new bottles( i.e. foundation style) of citadel color paint so I can not check the made in * on those.
