Overread Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm also thinking airbrushing as well. A gun and compressor coupled to an increased air-range of paints. It's a method that can speed up a lot of painting and one which can also introduce a lot of new methods into painting; plus its a lot easier to teach colour fading than using blending methods with brushes and water and paints. So I can well see the Warhammer TV channel picking up a lot of airbrushing tutorials. The only other thing would be paint dipping, but that's rather rough and ready and I sort of get the feeling that the way GW prices things it wouldn't work well as a quality product line for them. They've had an airbrush before and I can well see them sticking a sticker on a commercial compressor and going full on into their own airbrush line.

Kaleb Daark Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 I hope it's not paint dipping. but an airbrush would be a very brave move for them, as it's a tough market to do right, and at the right price point. 16 minutes ago, gabbi said: Anyway, I love this renewed "playful" GW.

We've waited along time for that aspect to wake up again. In truth I don't care what it is, I'm riding a tidal wave of feelgood at the mo as far as GW is concerned.

robinlvalentine Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm hoping it's some innovative new airbrush that makes owning/using one cheaper and more accessible. But I think that's probably too optimistic. The cynical part of me thinks it probably is a dipping product range - would make a lot of sense as a fast and easy way to paint lots of models. Look at Army Painter for how dipping can be commercialised. But I really hope it isn't that - I know some people swear by it, but I think dipping is awful.

The World Tree Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I suspect it will be an easier to use and maintain airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManlyMuppet88 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Airbrushing kit would be great. Possibly. As long as it’s a good quality kit. I did think it might be more coloured plastics (not pre-painted) or another re-launch of the paint range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If I have to guess coloured plastics and/or a wider selection of coloured spray cans. But Airbrush is a good suggestion as well. Love the teaser indeed. Great spoof and well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered this by accident with Warmachine warjacks (the big robots). Starter sets are in colored plastics, and contains just the options for one version of what would otherwise be a multi-kit when sold separately. So I used the main body to mount spare arms and head from a multi-kit, to assemble a different version and was surprised how good looking was already the model with a colored main body with grey arms and head. Creating models subdivided accordingly, to cast them in different colored plastics (like Gundam model kits) would greatly improve the look of unpainted armies.

RuneBrush Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm guessing that whatever this is, will form part of the existing "Citadel Paint System". So something that can easily be demonstrated on WHTV with Duncan & Peachy. It's clearly focused on army painting rather than display pieces. I think airbrush & compressor is a good shout - but would veer more towards a spray gun rather than an airbrush. So something that's easy to use and allow you to quickly apply paint rather than a more finicky airbrush. I could also see a range of dip washes - so basically what they have now, but slightly thinner with some way of easily dipping them without too much mess (certainly making Army Painter Gloss look awkward) #dirtydippers ☺️ A wider range of spray cans is also something I could see - perhaps a 250ml can in lots of the common base colours we all use, so Rakarth, Mournfang, Rhinox etc - in fact this would fit into the "fifty shades of grey" concept pretty well.

Forrix Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'd pay good money for an Airbrush that doesn't require me to constantly disassemble and scrub down every part to avoid clogs. I like Airbrushing but I do a lot of my painting in 30mins to 1hr sessions due to my schedule and makes airbrushing awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm guessing it's 50 new shades, all of which are variations of grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prochuvi Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 100% sure gonna be a airbrush. Seeing how gw rangue is almost the double than standard companys gonna be funny see how much gonna be the airbrush. I guess around 200€? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how gw rangue is almost the double than standard companys gonna be funny see how much gonna be the airbrush. I guess around 200€? £150 for the airbrush, then about £75 for the compressor. £25 for a case. It will have the quality and longevity of a £25 Chinese brush on Amazon, but people will insist it's better than Iwata and tens of thousands regardless because it's a Citadel(tm) product. My money is still on quickshade pots though. Plays off the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' thing too well and WHTV has been pushing a lot more Ready For Battle tutorials recently.

If they do that, the hobby is dead to me. It's bad enough playing people who use armies they had someone else paint (less care/connection to their army makes the experience "just" a game and diminishes the joy of talking about our hobby). If people start wanting to use heroclix-style stuff, well, yeah. That's a death knell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbi Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Really? I would widely prefer toplay people with prepainted armies, than people with grey armies. By far. I get what you're saying, and I actually do enjoy painting and customizing MY army, so it is really MINE (while I enjoy the occasional model painted by a friend, just for the friendship/emotional bond), but I also understand that some people caould enjoy just some aspects of the hobby. So, to me, who enjoy the view of a nice table with painted models on it, it would be better by far a prepainted army than a grey one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharitt Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Quote we’ll be adding something huge to our paint range that’s going to make painting your models even simpler From that, I don't know how you'd get colored plastic for prepaints. I don't even think an official painting commission painting service fits there. It sounds like what ever it is going to be will be focused on help the individual hobbyist paint their models on on their own. So I'm also thinking probably either airbrush or a dip, bight also be validity in the "gundam marker" idea too. While I'm not sure if it'll be the same thing as the army painter dip, that's the direction I'm leaning, maybe with an expanded spray paint line. The painting videos lately have included a lot of "battle ready painting" and think GW is really trying to get even the "gamers" to get painted miniatures on the table.

Mutton Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I hope it's an affordable, decent quality airbrush. I know I've needed to get one for awhile, but there just seems to be so much to learn about them, plus a not-insubstantial investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
