Discontinued GW Colors - Do you have a favorite?

[Infidel Castro]

I second CosmoBaboon on this one. I\'ve got the full fantasy set of C/Arms and there is generally a colour you can use for the ones we no longer see through GW. There are a couple of the Vermin Brown lookalikes.

Go and buy them!

Yeah.. but I never used it for flesh! lol

Hum ... intriguing. And what did you use it for then? If it\'s anything else than wood, this might be the greatest revelation of all times ... or not . [edit]after rereading, I thought it would be useful to precise that my statement wasn\'t meant to sound sarcastic[/edit]

I used their bronzed flesh for some goldish copper NMM its worked rather well

Deadly Nightshade, the best dark blue ever. I have two opened pots (not really sure why both are open, but they are). I love this colour and will probably never paint another blue marine once its gone...

you only have 2 blue marines in your gallary so will it really make a diffrence:flip:

Good point, I do have another 10 blue marines not in my gallery, the ultramarines army I\'ve been working on since circa 1995...

firedragon crimson, and orc brown (thanks for the pot tooshy)

@ E-Arkham: can\'t remember the exact ratio, but i know a mix of liche purple and the old hex scab red makes a convincing firedragon crimson. if you have some available, you might want to experiment.

@Trev...quite right about that nightshade colour. A lovely depth and very good for working turquoise as well.

mmmm those were the days

I gotta say its probably the old \"quality\" style pots that came in the golden demon themed boxes way way back, sadly this is all i have left..

The old inks were just amazing, I like to call these the uber RICH inks, you could work really well with them, water them down, keep them strong, make them medium or just use them as a glaze.

Having just gotten into warhammer im considering bringing out the old special green ink for the plastic orcs in it, either as a wash or glaze not sure yet but the green ink from the old expert set is very special and im proud to have those 3 black bottles close to full ( had them since 1991 I believe ), if that doesnt put to shame the paints and inks GW has out now i dont know what will!

 

[Infidel Castro]

I can\'t believe you bought a blue glaze Graverobber! All you needed to do was dilute a little ink! Still, I like to have as much as possible just to feel good lol

 

[bayrodney]

I mainly miss the colours like ghostly grey and flesh wash, they were both so useful, now they\'re gone
