Converting colors.

[Braddon]

I dunno if anyone got the most recent White Dwarf, from April, the Empire edition one. Anyways, the second to last page or so is a chart that shows what all the old paints are named now, or the closest colors to them. It's probably against the rules to post a picture I think, but if it is allowed I'll post a picture.

The conversion chart was put on GW's site a while ago. Its free......

Yeah, here it is...

It lies pretty badly though, some colours don't have a close match in the new range.

i really hope GW don't screw up my colours for Kraken or i'll betray them and turn Vallejo, heretic or not

what worries me is that i can't find Bleached bone in that chart....what are they thinking!?

I think they're calling it Ushabti Bone.

Its 2nd from the left, 2nd from the bottom. Ushabti Bone as Braddon said. One review I read said that Bleached Bone is a slightly lighter tone than Ushabti, but I haven't tried it for myself.

i hope its a difference that dont show too much, otherwise i'd rather use vallejo bone white, its almost identical to blecahed bone, just slightly brighter but in a good way.

i honestly think GW screwed up doing this, to change the old colours that is, adding new tones is good though.

[wolfracer]

Yeah, I'm not overly happy about the changed colours. I like the new texture paints, but taking away things like Devlan Mud is just insane. It's a staple for so many people, and I had to drive to 4 shops to buy a few extra tins of it as I use it over a white undercoat for my 'nids.

[Hive Carnithrope]

The new colours are great and there are plenty to choose from, but my problem is the names.

Ushabti bone. - Bone coloured?
Leadbelcher - Grey?
Rhinox Hide - Browny?
Deamonette Hide - Err... red?
The Fang - Err...
Nuln Oil - Umm...
XV88 - I DON'T KNOW! *cries in a corner*

You see my point. Blood red is obvious. So is sunburst yellow, ice blue and even devlan mud, but those new names are pretty random unless you know the fluff of most of GWs products, and even then, I'm having trouble.

But apart from the names, they are very cool!

[Braddon]

Yeah, I agree with all of those. It's great that they're expanding their lines and stuff, but they should have just added to the existing. They're pretty much different colors anyways.
