Whine about pricing? In Sweden the price of a pot of Citadel paint is £3,25! =( Still, I think their foundation paints and recent washes were real gems assisting my painting a lot! If nothing else, I look forward to having more "foundation" paints to choose from and also the return of glazes.

Only thing (in this matter) I'm confused by is the different metallics. Now there are base, layer and dry "boltgun metal".  o_o

I'm looking forward to the new paints,for one thing I like trying out new shades et cetera,and whilst I probably only use about 15 actual colours on my palette, I can't help buying more.......and compared to what one can spend on brushes(I spent 128 dollars Aus. for 5 Raphael last week),the price isn't so bad. And as Hammers says GW do,do some good colours(hope they remain good).

 Cheers

Changing the names is a mild and temporary pain in ass, or at least it will be when I finally have to replace the few GW paints that I do use. Generally though I think the re-organised range should help a lot of painters who rely on GW paints. Expanding the foundation range is a good thing although the price versus volume of paint issue (nevermind the wastage problems associated with flip top pots) does begin to hit home if you rely heavily on a few colours.
