67 - Mutations!

What's the big deal about this Autumn preview? And I have to say, not really all that much.

At least if you're asking me.

And well, even though you're not asking, I'm just telling you.

My first impression was that there is...

Well, no, let me backtrack a little bit.

Usually I don't really watch any of these previews, but now I was an opportunity to do so, at least the first part of it.

And the vibe I got from it was...

I am totally out of it.

This way of presenting things, fast talking, throwing names around of systems that I do not know or play or even have, well, maybe a little inkling of, but I'm totally not familiar with, but throwing those names around as if it is something that everybody should know this definitely targets a younger audience so that makes me wonder if GW targets a younger demographic and I well this might just be me as an old grog now talking but it seemed to be marketed at teens but then those prices are marketed at adults so Yeah, I don't really know what's going on over there.

But anyway, there were some things to take away and some things that can be interesting for Warhammer Fantasy or the old world players.

The first thing they did was drop a new paint range.

This is called Warhammer Tone Pro.

And contrary to earlier paint ranges where you had every paint with an individual name, you now have 30 named paints, but each paint comes in five different shades.

So for example, you have Chotec Orange 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

And that's probably a good system behind it.

I don't think I'm ever going to get this paint set.

I don't need another 150 paints when I already have at least that number of paints that are still in the pot.

One of the selling points that they had was that the yellows and whites are giving you a very good coverage and well of course everybody they interviewed was really happy about them.

So for me I'm just going to wait and see but if you're looking for new paints then know that Games Workshop has put out a paint range.

And I sincerely hope that they are also going to put out another paint comparison chart and also to show you which colors or shades are approachable with contrast paints.

Because what I often do is I have a contrast paint and then sometimes I need to touch something up or highlight something up.

And that's a bit of a pain to go back with first the base coat and then adding a dab of contrast on it.

So having a paint that matches the contrast paint for a highlight would be a really good idea.

But of course your contrast paint is also heavily dependent on your undercoat.

So yeah, I don't know if that's going to be a realistic wish.
