They have no excuse.<BR/><BR/>The usual attempted excuse is "I tried it once but it was too thick/watery." Translation: I didn't shake it up enough.<BR/><BR/>I'm willing to accept that at some point someone may have honestly got a bad bottle, but I have well over a hundred bottles and have never had a problem. Compare that to the number of bottles of Citadel that have dried up on me over the years (nearly all of them at one point or another). I realize their new paint bottles are better, but they still aren't as good as the vallejo/reaper bottles.<BR/><BR/>I still use some Citadel paints. There's a point at which most painters realize that every line has its strengths and weaknesses.<BR/><BR/>Ok rant against painters stuck on Citadel off, rant against GW on:<BR/><BR/>WTF were they thinking discontinuing bronzed flesh? I've probably bought more bottles of that than anything other than black! It's a freaking staple!Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.com
