Is there any chance the store might start to carry Games Workshop brand paint?

I firmly believe they have the best water based metals and inks even if they are kind of spendy.

Yeah, GW metals are pretty good. I think they spread a little nicer than the PP paints, but the PP paints are so thick with pigment you never need more than one coat. I'm wondering if the two would mix, or if that's just an expensive disaster.

GW inks though, I have reason to believe they are simply watered down versions of their existing colors. Their black ink makes me suspicious.

There's something else in there other then just the pigment. I say this because if you mix them at about 6 to 1 you get the same consistency of the ink but they don't have that sort of gloss finish that the inks have.

I guess I could try to stick a little Varnish in there but as you said, sounds like a spendy mistake. I'd rather just pay my 3-4 bucks and call it a day.

We can carry GW paints as the need arises. We already carry some of the paint sets geared to certain factions. I would like to get a regular play crowd showing up that can tell us what kind of paints they are looking for.

As always, we can special order any paints you are looking for, and of course NO SHIPPING to boot!

With a lot of new players, the new GW foundation paints and washes are an amazing tool for painters. Bascoat with foundation, drybrush, and wash with the new washes and you have a nice painted tabletop mini. A few brushes would be nice also.
