In 1985, Games Workshop began using HMG Paints Ltd. So, for those who never knew about this stuff before, let's step back and trace the history in detail: But when I learned that the same old paint pots from the 1980s could still be bought via the internet, I immediately went to work to recreate my collection anew. Pic by Belazikkal.įor my part, I felt so disappointed with those changes to Citadel Colour that I pretty much just gave up on buying any more for decades. This nasty little f**ker was a f**king disaster. Well, when I said 'Citadel Colour Pots', I didn't really mean 'Citadel Colour Pots.'Īnd when I said 'Goodbye', it might not really be 'Goodbye.' Perhaps in another blog post.) But this change might mean saying 'Goodbye' to myprecious Citadel Colour Pots. (I'll save my discussion about my adventures in using oils, later. This time, I'm getting excited to use oil paints on my miniatures. But lately I've not even been bothering to paint my own miniatures for my own webstore.īut I've recently been bitten by the Oldhammer painting bug once again! And for the first time it isn't really about acrylics. Once in a while, a game convention or an RPG campaign would fill me with the urge to paint some quick table-ready stuff. And since I've been so busy sculpting original miniatures lately, my painting habits have atrophied terribly.

Like many miniatures fanatics, I have alot of unpainted miniatures in my closet.

Warning: This is another frothy Oldhammer Blog post. My private little collection of Citadel Colour paints is all I need.
