The Dakka Dakka forums are abuzz with rumors on the new Citadel paint range. And if all this comes to pass (and I think it all ill, these are very specific rumors, looking like direct info), then I think GW is on the right track. The rumors are all by YakFace, who is an Admin on Dakka, so not just some random poster.
Yakface on Dakka Dakka had this to report:
I got this info passed onto me about the new GW paint changes.
I've never gotten rumors from this source before, so I cannot vouch for their validity (so take this with whatever amount of salt you'd like):
-144 colours are in.
-lots of renaming of colours, nothing is leaving.
-All in different catagories now, Shades (washes) bases, layers, glazes (thin washes) and textures.
-Prices are staying the same.
So it sounds to me like the main thing GW is doing is reorganizing the line to make it more clear which paints/washes/etc are designed to be used in what situations.

Okay, more info from the same source:
• There are 144 paints (the current line is only 73), so the range is doubling in size.
• Broken down into Bases (foundations), Layers (normal colours), shades (washes), Dry (essentially goopy paint for dry brushing), Glaze (thinned washes for easier blending), Texture (sand + colour) and Technical (liquid green stuff).
• Bottles are not changing.
• Every color is renamed, there will be a white dwarf with a comparison guide released. Blood red is now wild rider red, ultramarine blue is Calgar blue, skull white is white scar etc etc. There is a big expansion in the greens. There are pinks again, and more purple.
• Foundation white!! Named Ceramite White
• New how to paint book that includes a 90 minute DVD
• Mega paint set available year round now, but is super expensive apparently. Prices are apparently the same (for now).

Well GW finally pulled their collective thumbs out of their butts and made a DVD,lets just hope its actually worth the AU$65+ (at a guess) price tag when it arrives.
Probably more like $100+. I'm just hoping they put the painting articles back up soon.
they need to release these new shades soon
