      If you don't want the government involved he should be able to physically harm the retailer in retribution for selling him the bad product without legal repercussions as well.

            >assuring the quality of goods has been around since the dawn of civilization and government dumbfrick
            Not really. Assuring the quality of goods has been spotty throughout history but generally it was below a ruler's notice. Generally speaking a ruler would only get involved if someone died. For example, in the Code of Hammurabi, if a house builder made a house that collapsed and killed your son, the builder's son would be killed in response, or that you could be fined for stealing sheep. But the Code of Hammurabi does not specify a punishment for selling rotten dates or intentionally mismeasuring the weight of grains. I'm not saying that this was some kind of libertarian ancap paradise, in fact in this kind of power vacuum, social power dominated. Instead of relying on governments, clan elders wielded tremendous shame-based power. Imagine if you will an individual merchant getting "cancelled" for failing to provide a refund for shoddy goods.

            In later societies, Guilds took on this function because, again, local judges and barons had no interest. Guilds also were social mechanisms that ensured quality of goods in exchange for keeping prices high.

        I still have more than a dozen usable black octagonal paint pots. The white lids are decent. Almost nothing I've bought in the new clear lids has lasted more than a year. Even paints that seemed fine will be a solid lump when I go to use them again.

        There's no reason to purchase GW paints and I always recommend people to get into alternates.

        I dare you to buy a pot of corax white next time you get the chance. It'll be dry in the pot, sealed.

        [...]
        >yet you don't seem to do anything about it
        I did. I stopped buying them. Again, white tops and black tops are still fine. I treat them all the same.

        [...]
        I hear lots of good stuff about AK. Some really nice grimy effects from it.

        [...]
        There is literally a scoop that dumps paint into into the lid and hinge, wasting paint you need to clean up at best and gumming it up so the whole pot dries out at worst.

        How is it even possible to be this stupid?
        Are you guys literally underage?
        Or did your dads never show you how to properly maintain the things you buy?

          Just yesterday my boss had to adjust a hex screw. So he used a hammer and slotted screwdriver and is now very upset that the machine no longer works.

      OP is a bad example but we absolutely need the government to pass and actually enforce laws explicitly against corporation/banks/ect. all collectively driving down the quality of life for the common man in blind pursuit of profit. Take renting in a big city for example. Most people are putting at least 40% or more of their paycheck into rent and utilities. They can't find a cheaper apartment because the financial cartels that own all the apartment complexes aren't actually competing with each other and there really are no cheaper places to live for that person. They could get a job in a different state with cheaper real estate but the entire industry they work in has decided to pay people in that state less because the cost of living is lower, so their quality of life doesn't actually go up. People are basically locked into participating in a dogshit economy intentionally designed to suck up every last scrap of excess wealth the working class has and bootlickers will defend it because they genuinely believe corporations with colossal amounts of money and power should have the same rights as the working class.

      Compared to the above, GW pots are small beans but there absolutely be a law against making dogshit products on purpose.

        Not going to happen because governments and corpos are one and the same. They are those same people, this same clique. There is no difference between them and they directly work with and aid each other. You would need laws and actions to explicitly target by name particular corpos with no way for them to weasel their way out of your reach. Like simply stating that Microsoft, and only Microsoft, needs to pay X amount of money and stop doing Y or else. And if a corpo like this somehow will actually get targeted by government lol they will run away to work with different government.

      The government is formed to protect our rights, including the right of having a free system of commerce.
      Selling defective products, specially in bad faith, is an infringement on the right of free trading.
      To be clear before some commie midwits jump in, "Free" in this context doesn't mean "I can do whatever I want to make money", that would mean robbing a bank would be a form of "free" trade. Free here means voluntary and consensual, and without aggression or coercion from either parties. Lying or deceiving about a trade is a form of aggression, so such trade can't be considered truly "free".
      Your point is not entirely wrong, there are many ways we can protect our rights ourselves, and that is usually more cost-effective. But how much we can do it ourselves is defined by society, and sometimes it may be more cost-effective to use government regulations to make it easier for us all. It's all about a sweet spot and what works.

                I would not call them superior to Scalecolor and are thinner so you get effectively less usable paint. Both are matte and good quality. I would take Scalecolor artist over AK, for others, it depens on the particular paint and what is locally available.

                AK makes stuff comparable or better than Vallejo imo, but Scalecolor takes the cake for having the best range overall. Never used something from theirs that wasn't a joy to use.

                For shades though I just use Army Painter's stuff, but only if I'm too lazy to use an oil wash at that moment.

                I have used these for years with good results alongside with Vallejo.

          Honestly, most brands are perfectly serviceable these days. All of them are going to have some paints that stand out and some that are bad. Odds are, your local store is going to have like 3-4 brands and you're going to end up cherry picking the good stuff out of them.

          AK makes stuff comparable or better than Vallejo imo, but Scalecolor takes the cake for having the best range overall. Never used something from theirs that wasn't a joy to use.

          For shades though I just use Army Painter's stuff, but only if I'm too lazy to use an oil wash at that moment.

      Never happened to me once. Literally a (you) problem.

      So this happens to you constantly apparently, yet you don't seem to do anything about it? Like not doing whatever it is your doing with your paints? Or at least cleaning them if you get Paint all over the rims?

      I'm honestly baffled at how dysfunctional you appear to be. Not only are you too moronic to take care of your paints, but you also thought it's worth making a thread to showcase how moronic you are.

      There is literally a scoop that dumps paint into into the lid and hinge, wasting paint you need to clean up at best and gumming it up so the whole pot dries out at worst.

        It will do that if you open it too far. I learned that pretty fast. The scoop is actually there to hold your paint for you. You want to open it (carefully), bend the lid to the side slightly so it wont close, and leave it open enough that the scoop won't drool all over the hinge but can drain back into the pot.

        The scoop is there for you to dip your brush into and get a more controlled amount of paint!
        I still think its fricking moronic, but that's how I manage.

      Just because you never learned to properly use tools. I refuse to believe that this isn't a bait thread, and OP ruined his pot on purpose. I refuse to believe that people are actually that stupid and NPC like.

      Just don't open the pot too far. It really isn't hard. Or just use a pallette if you don't like using the little scooper.

      I have literally never had this problem

      It's inevitable: whenever you complain about a problem like this, pencil-dicked mental peasants will crawl out of the woodwork to flex about how they themselves are so above such problems, and that you are inferior to them for experiencing them. It's an opportunity their weak egos just can't pass up.

      I've been painting miniatures for over 25 years, and the modern GW pots are hands-down the worst I've ever worked with. Anyone claiming that they're meticulous enough in cleaning their pots after EVERY painting session to avoid this issue is absolutely full of shit - and deserves to die writhing in mind-shattering agony for such chickenshit arrogance.

      To even have a chance of avoiding GW paint pot smegma forming, you'd have to wait for the paint to settle for several minutes after shaking before opening it. You'd have to avoid closing & opening it repeatedly (something you'd do to avoid it drying out when using it for a while), and then you'd have to clean the underside of the lid shelf (where more paint will inevitably accumulate) before closing it for the session.

        I'm replacing my vallejo paints with pro acryl as I'm using them up. Fiance got me the starter set for christmas and they are very nice. Thin easily on the palette and they airbrush nicely as well. The white is great, even the black/dark neutral grey primers are nice. Only color I do not like is orange, not sure if I got a bad bottle but no matter how much I shake it the paint is always runny, unlike every other color that is nice and gel.

      What is the problem with dropper bottles?

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        - Sometimes paint dries in the nozzle which is a way bigger pain in the ass to clean than paint in the rim, even if less is wasted. They should be designed to be stored upside down.

        - I like to pretend I am a mystical wizard bringing small clay golems to life with various ambix containing exotic magical ingredients refined into pigment.

        I think my solution is to just get a bunch of nice glass pots + agitators, then deposit a portion of a dropper bottle into them in case the nozzle is one day required. Then I could have whole pots of consistent mixtures I like and give them esoteric fantasy labels like "Dragon Dung" or "Fairy Nipple Pink".

            Pots are clearly lower effort. But I'd rather just store my dropper bottles upside down so paint can't dry in the nozzle in the first place and get better pots so my rims don't get crusty either.

                ESL, I'm saying that nozzles DON'T dry on me anymore because I store them so that wet paint remains there instead of settling in the bottom. I close the cap every time, it won't stop paint down in the nozzle from drying if the bottle is upright and the wet paint is heading down. Reaper is especially notorious for this with some viscous paints and this paint catching crossbar.

                I'm not sure what you're having a hard time grasping here, how gravity works or do you think I'm making this shit up?

        Whereas citadel shit loses you enough paint to base a squad and takes an acrobatic attempt at picking it off with your fingers while not dropping dry chunks into your pot, which the whole while you are doing this is open and exposing the contents to the air

    The thing is, there's free commerce, and then there's letting companies get away with being israelites. Most of you stereotypical Americucks have simply been so brainwashed that you don't realise that's exactly what your beliefs enable, and you even get your wieners snipped to feed the cosmetic industry as a reward for your faith. America. Land of the israelites, eternally cucked by blind consumerism, but you will never ever stop believing it's "freedom". It's beautiful.

    A socialist who has their head screwed on right actually believes in much greater personal freedom than any libertard. Freedom for the common man.

    I was a retail monkey at gw when the current line of paints was originally launched. I stole nearly every paint at least twice, and stil have most of them now in a decent state. SOME, however, are dried up and gone all shitty.
    I can pretty much attest that the ones that have gone all shitty are the ones I used where I left them open on the table while painting. The ones that are fine are the ones I opened up, put the paint on a pallette, and closed the lid.

    Wow you guys are idiots it's easy to use GW pots you just need to remember not to open the lid beyond 93.47° and leave it to drip for half an hour before starting to paint and thoroughly clean around the rim before closing the lid again it's not rocket science and before you say something stupid like
    >doesn't that mean you have multiple pots left open at once
    yes but if you were a capable person you could have 1,000,000 pots open for a week and never knock even one of them over the design is considered and perfected and better than dropper bottles because it has the GW logo on.

          Don't paint from the pot you idiot. It is never a good idea in any form of painting.

              Because its a bad idea you don't have to use. Shit's not complicated. They hand out paint palettes to kids for finger painting in preschool, you're suppose to have figured that out.
