I'm an old school gamer. I started with the flip top hex pot paints. I still think in terms of Blood Red, Sunburst Yellow and Enchanted Blue.

I got my first pot of Nuln Oil, because I'd been out of Armour Wash for a while and didn't want to keep using watered down Black Wash and… is it just me, or is this stuff MUCH thinner/lighter than the old washes? 🤨

@ibboard Oh wow. Really old school. It’s not just you. If you’re comparing the current washes to, say, the old flesh wash, they have a very different formulation and work differently. In fact, you have probably skipped an entire generation of washes in between. That does mean that you probably have to do a bit of re-learning, but in general, the modern washes allow for more control and have better end results.

@slothdude I've used more recent paints. The dumpy screw tops that dried out quickly. Their replacement flip tops. And the new flip tops. Just never replaced many washes with Citadel ones, and still got a blue topped Black, Brown, Red, Yellow and Orc Flesh Wash. Plus a Green Glaze (never worked out what the difference was between old washes and glazes!)

I hadn't noticed the new flesh wash being that odd, though. If anything I prefer it because the classic one always had a bit of a strange orange-brown tint that could be a bit strong and unnatural.

@ibboard Yes, that’s precisely the old flesh wash I was talking about. The newer ones are much better. I haven’t been painting for years myself because my eyes are not what they used to be, but Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade are quite useful. Although I preferred Devlan Mud over Agrax.
