[paint] Anyone got a paint chart spreadsheet

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

In an attempt to keep track of what paints I have and how much I have left
and what I need has anyone done a spreadsheet listing all the GW paints with
a colour guide and percentage cell that I can carry around in my PDA.
I did find a web page with all the paints listed with the colour next to the
name but after numerous searches tonight I can't seem to find it. It may
have been on the "old" GW site.
I'm off to GW tomorrow night with a nine year old with a pile of Xmas money
so wish me luck!
Thanks in advance
Robin

Scroll down to see the colors and names stuff, but since it's html, I don't
know how much I'd trust the colors - they will be close I guess.

The best advice I can give you is not to buy GW paints. They're the only
thing with a life shorter than a nine year olds attention span.

If you check out http://www.rgmw.org/paint/paint.html you'll see a link on
the left called "paints". That's a list of alternatives. For a nine year
old I'd actually suggest you by Plaids Apple Barrel or Folk Art paints. If
they lose interest in Warhammer then they're perfect for other activities.

A lot of people use Apple Barrel exclusively in their mini painting. Plaid
also have a chart of all the colours on their web site. You'll find the
link on our Paints page.
