Why do you need the goverment to baby you into not buying bad products?
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.

Seems like the urbanite culture was different enough you couldn't cancel a Ganker-tier scammer merchant.
to be fair they didn't have Ganker to realise what tier he was
>the government should let you get scammed but prevent you from retaliating against the scammer
Yes, the government holds a monopoly on force.
And that's a bad thing
If you're government does not have a monopoly of force in your area then someone else does and it almost certainly isn't you
>is-ought
Governments only exist to help the top tier of society extract wealth from the plebs. This has been the case since the start of civilization.
>I love the taste of boot leather, just as long as they make me pay $19.99 a month for the privilege
>If the government shouldn't do anything, it shouldn't do anything
Fixed that for you. Can't have it both ways you fat gay baby
no... no... i think you're onto something but not going after the retailer... instead go after the actual company. there should be no repercussion for attacking the CEO of any company.
>I made bad choices so I should be able to sperg out and harm people.
Literal down syndrome logic.
>The virgin CEO fears the chad Downie.
>He shakes with barely contained fear when he drives past an adult day-centre
It used to be that people who sold shitty or harmful products were lynched. Consumer protection laws are the compromise.
>bike cuck logic
Criminals deserve to be raped, explain to me why I can't.
>I should go harm people because I'm not happy with the construction of a product they sold me
Maybe stop being a psychopath first
Is that perportional? You are out 10 bucks now you want to physically harm someone?
So a slap on the wrist? I doubt you have the restraint.
Who am I kidding I doubt you have the balls to do it let alone not have the manufacturer beat you into earth while you try.
Here is an idea, maybe sell a better product or stop buying a bad one. You dumb heebe
One guy may be out 10 bucks, but the sleezy manufacturer has already made millions on the thousands of guys having to rebuy intentionally poor products. That alone I feel is worth a kick in the dick,
based. as. frick.
The only correct response to libertards is to remind them of the logical consequences of their bullshit.
You think libertarians are against being allowed to shoot people who violate the NAP by sabotaging goods they sold you?
You mean the manufacturer. The retailer is a middle man, though they should be somewhat responsible for the quality of the items they're selling.
Libertarians treat an attack on their property to be equivalent to an attack on their person.
>"every drop of sweat and blood has a price on it"
Yes, to a libertarian property is person because property is bought and paid for with suffering of the person, everything you own had a cost in sweat and blood.
This. People forget that the entire implication of laws is the threat of violence
If I'm paying them, they could at least work for me.
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?
It's like you're asking to be scammed and buttfricked by any company going
>does this happen to you too?
>well not with OUR product
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.
>properly use tools
The tool shouldn't be designed to destroy itself so you have to buy new tools. I shouldn't need to compensate for that. If someone designs tools like that, that is anti-social behavior and they should be imprisoned.
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.
A truly staggering number have no idea how to use or care for tools. I have seen people leave axes outside in the open and complain when they're rusty come spring. I have literally watched coworkers use the edge of a razor knife to tighten screws rather than walk 5 feet to get a screwdriver, or even turn the knife around and use the back of the blade.
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.
People are dumb.
Then stop buying shit
The whole reason why citadel continues to make shit is because people keep buying it
True, but the solution in this case is to not pay them. There are other brands of paints available.
because there's literally billions of products and you can't research all of them while also living the rest of your life
it's easier to pay someone to do it, so just use your taxes to pay for it
Or we could watch product review channels on youtube that synthesize hours of research into minutes instead of the government killing people to collect blood money and throwing it around to support their favorite corporations.
wat
Why do you need the "goverment" to baby you into not getting raped by your uncle as a child, you little homosexual?
The government can't stop your uncle from raping you though, it can only maybe punish him for doing so.
threat of punishment is a deterrent tho
You're still not unraped.
If they imprison a criminal they stop that criminal committing further crimes
only the victim having a gun can stop a rape. There's absolutely nothing any government anywhere in the world can do. That's why they keep trying to hide muslim rapes, because they don't want their citizens arming themselves.
And you're a moronic rape-bait homosexual if you can't be bothered to buy good products and expect the ogvernment to hold your dick when they can't even protect you from rape.
The government can't prevent that unless it maybe goes full 1984. Somethings are the responsibility of the family, then the state can step in
because good things are good and bad things are bad
what the frick is wrong with you
Avoid a race to the bottom
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.
>OP is a bad example but we absolutely need the government to pass and actually enforce laws explicitly against corporation/banks/ect.
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.
>they will run away to work with different government.
People forget how giant of a consumer base America is. Microsoft, to continue your example, absolutely cannot maintain their profits if they shut themselves out of the American market. Even if the US does wise up and start imposing restrictions on them, it's still more profit than packing up and going to China or Russia.
Corporations and banks brrak laws because they are orotevted by the government. Gov. intervantion only ever effects small businesses.
>the solution is going full commie
Or you could buy Tamiya instead of fricking over everyone and regressing society 200 years.
Fraud and scams should be crushed with government force
We'd have to invade mainland China and India to even put a dent in the scamming industry
And?
>Fraud and scams should be crushed with government force
>We'd have to invade mainland China and India to even put a dent in the scamming industry
Good luck convincing American politicians to betray their lobby sponsors.
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.
FPBP. Buy product that isn't overpriced and garbage. For the few worth the price point, put it in a container that isn't garbage. Don't be a paypig.
Anarchism on a mass industrial scale wouldn't work.
op is a homosexual but I DO hate how gw paint pots are made. you have to open them *so* carefully with some of the watery-er ones. If you aren't they splash everywhere and half your pot is just gone.
They don't seal super well either. Their only redeeming quality is you can make cute little ork mechs out of them when you're done.
Youre a fricking moron. Scrape off the dried paint under the lid and then paint from a pallette to stop splashing paint everywhere like a parkinsons riddled spastic. The current gen of GW pots are fine and far better than previous. The only way they could go better is by going to dropper bottles really.
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.
>Almost nothing I've bought in the new clear lids has lasted more than a year.
Well mine are okay, so I can only assume you're doing it wrong.
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.
>I dare you to buy a pot of corax white next time you get the chance. It'll be dry in the pot, sealed.
Corax white is one of my favourite paints, and it's been fine.
Thanks mates, will they them.
AK > S75 = Vallejo > Citadel > GW
Turbo dork for funny meme metallics
Only tried army painter speedpaints which were good, thier primer sucks. Havent tried two thin coats, p3 or proacrly yet
is Reaper's paint line still any good?
I cut my teeth on their learn to paint kits when they were still metal minis instead of bones. Lasted a good long time. Still the best red I ever used.
AK > S75 = Vallejo
AK are really that good? What are they best at?
Consistent colours, good coverage, very matte.
Definitely will try them, thanks.
>AK are really that good?
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.
Thanks to you too, anons.
>buy a pot of corax white next time you get the chance. It'll be dry in the pot, sealed
can confirm lol
>I dare you to buy a pot of corax white next time you get the chance. It'll be dry in the pot, sealed.
What the frick are you even doing you absolute moron.
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.
>I always recommend people to get into alternates
Aside from Vallejo what good paints are out there? The only decent thing from GW are shades, and they barely worth dealing with new shitty pots.
P3 is good, broadly comparable to GW.
army painter are alright, fine if thats what your FLGS stocks but i wouldn't bother ordering it online when you could get the others.
Heard decent things about reaper and two thin coats, but haven't had a chance to try them.
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.
When your bottom line is Vallejo most other paints you try feel worse to by honest.
Not a big fan of Vallejo besides their metal colors range.
I had always heard Vallejo was the best option for the price for a looong time. Is that no longer the case?
It is by no means bad, especially for the price. There are just other paints that work better. Except for metal colors, vallejo metal colors are baller.
>Reaper (real nice but like to reactivate unless dried overnight)
>Scale75 (super smooth, real nice metals, can need more coats to cover but feels deliberate)
>P3 formula/PP (basically the OG GW paints down to the pots, great except for their metals which suck)
>Army Painter (decent but very inconsistent quality)
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.

>Almost nothing I've bought in the new clear lids has lasted more than a year
Make sure the lid is all the way down when you shut it. I haven't had any issues except for one pot of red when I didn't click the lid all the way down.
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 do you get that scoop to dump paint into the hinge? if you just open the pot and let it sit it doesn't do that.
It did this back with the old pots. It was very common to peel the ring of dried paint off.
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.
GW has had the scoop since I got into Warhammer in 2003, anon.
its literally so easy to avoid
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.
Could you be more of a complaining homosexual if you tried?
Yes
>it's a "op is too moronic to take care of his paints" episode
beGONE kpop scum
I'm switching over to picrel. Drop bottles, a glass agitator in every bottle, and nice dense pigments. They're also cool in that they use normal color names instead of fantasy shit. GW doesn't educate painters on stuff like warm vs cool colors.
I've had Gee Dubs paints dry up on me before they were even used once.
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.
Pic related from /wip/, my airbrushed coats with pro acryl. Dark camo green/green, burnt red/bold pyrrole red, dark grey blue/blue dark color base coats with brighter color zenithal. Dark warm flesh on the bellies then light flesh from above. Rest will be brush work.
Came here to post this. Lovely stuff. The range is a bit small but I like them more than Vallejo.
The only moronic thing op did was buying paints from GW.
>hate current GW pots
>also hate dropper bottles
What's a line of paint with good pots? Or shit, are there stand alone high quality paint pots? I'd rather transfer paint from dropper bottles to pots than the other way around.
>What's a line of paint with good pots?
GW is the only one with pots as far as I know.
P3, Tamiya, Revell. Warcolors has a line of Nostalgia paints in old style pots too.
frick tamiyas pots though, god those screw caps are aweful.
Coat d'Arms (read: 80s/90s GW paints) does pots.
there WERE several different brands around 2014 but I don't remember what any of them were. I might like to know as well.
unfortunately pretty much everyone else is droppers. P3 manages to have even worse pots than GW.
'warcolours nostalgia 88'
P3 pots are p. gud
What is the problem with dropper bottles?
- 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".
>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.
That's awesome. I hope you find the pots you're looking for, anon. Enjoy painting.
>Sometimes paint dries in the nozzle
Just pop off the nozzle and jam through it with a toothpick under running, warm water. Easy as.
>find out it's blocked after I've shaken it and given it a gentle squeeze so I have to wait for the paint to flow back down from the nozzle
>have to get a toothpick
>have to get up and go run it under the sink while I jab it
vs
>discover paint dried in pot rim
>force it open then peel off in one satisfying strip
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.
Have you considered trying to develop your perfect paint container and marketing it? There are probably other people who feel like you do.
Honestly I was just going to get something I can hook into a siphon fed airbrush. Swappable lids would be nice, and you'd only need 1 siphon lid.
The perfect container already exists.
This probably wouldn't work for average acrylic paint consistency.
>This probably wouldn't work for average acrylic paint consistency.
Except every major art company sells acrylic paint in tubes exactly like that.
Those are thick bodied paints meant for canvas painting
I use their white and it works pretty good on miniatures.
That GW is way to expensive to peel it.
It took my like 30 minutes to transfer all my paints to dropper bottles. If you got an airbrush, highly recommend for contrast paints
You're overcomplicating dropper bottles. Never had one jam, and whatever paint might dry and get stuck to the nozzle is easily removed with a paper towel. Do you leave them without a cork on or what?
>storing them sideways or upside down so paint doesn't leave nozzle, preventing any paint stuck there from drying out
>overcomplicated
I've had Reaper and Valejo dry on me depending on the paint. It's not rocket science, a bunch of adhesives have caps they can stand on for this reason.
If they're drying for you, it ain't fricking working sonny. Close the caps and store them like a normal person.
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?

If you don't like it buy the same paints from the countless competency brands. Is that easy
You don't owe anything to GW, you don't need to buy their products if you aren't satisfied with them
Literally every source online and by word of mouth told me that, while overpriced, i can trust on Citadel paints.
Please tell me i didnt get memed….
"Man, that paint jar lip is so convenient"
I have literally never had this problem
Though i agree that there should be regulations in place to prevent artificial aging (i think that’s what it’s called when companies do this) i don’t really see it as such a large problem when it comes to paints, as GW by no means have a monopoly of the miniature paint market much less the paint market as a whole. There’s a wealth of options out there which are not only cheaper but also better in almost every regard, vote with your wallet.
I'm going to vote with the ballot box instead and vote to imprison people who abuse the trust of society to hawk broken goods
Who exactly is running on the "imprison dudes who make funny paint pots" platform?
Me
Well, he has my vote at least.
I do think that shitadel pots suck but for something like that picture to happen you have to be either cartoonishly negligent or intentionally letting it happen
Buy vallejo
like everyone else complaining about the new citadel bottles in this thread i have no physical evidence whatsoever to show why i dont like them and why they were better back in the days but you just have to take my word for it
i do have 1 bottle of dark angels green ink but they don´t count, if the real paints would last 20+ years we can assume inks will last easily another 80
Is it even good to store paints in transparent pots?
The plastic would block a lot of the UV that could degrade the paint. Acrylics are pretty good for colour and gloss retention, but that's once cured.
Has anyone tried duncan’s two thin coats paints?
Also the little tab on the new pots in the hinge that's supposed to hold it open is occasionally bent, weak, or breaks off entirely, making the entire design completely pointless. These paints are designed to be more wasteful so timmy has to buy more. And if you're defending it, you're a timmy too.
>buying overpriced paints for the geedubs branding
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Just save them.
Why?
Tasty snack for when you are painting 🙂
>design shitty products
>force you to buy more
Surely that’s forcing you to buy less, right? How is a product not meeting expectations an incentive to buy more? Are you moronic?
Gotta love the bugmen asking the government to save them from poor consumer choices, making rape/assault comparisons etc. Funny how these people will demand more funding for public services whilst also proposing additional extremely frivolous uses of tax revenue. Almost like they have no idea how anything works.

idk I like the pots. droppers clog up more often and I don't have as much control over the amount of paint I get out
>droppers don't let me control the paint I get out
How much fricking more control do you need than ONE FRICKING DROP AT A TIME?!?!?!? It even gives you that drop without exposing the rexst of yourgoddamned paint pot to the air and causing it to start curing before ever being used.
Even /if/ by some miracle of bad luck a dropper tip managed to get clogged with dry paint, you lose about one drop of material anf unclogging it would be as simple as sticking a safety pin through it.
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
Droppers are superior, easier to mix colors as well
>consumerism

In that order
I moved over to army painter and vallejo, the gw pots were much better back in the day.
I would like to share with this thread the enlightening knowledge that you can be a leftist, indeed even a legitimate socialist, and still believe in free commerce.
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.
The only freedom lolberts care about is the freedom to lick the boots of rich people
Are the israelites in the room with us right now?
These paint pots suck so bad im just going to buy Vallejo exclusively from now on.
Not being able to squeeze paint onto the pallet is a huge b***h, not worth it.
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.
My conclusion is that it isn't the pots to blame, it's the person using them.
Ea-nasir's paint is of perfectly acceptable quality.
Lots of pseudo intellectuals outing themselves as completely detached from the consequences of their own actions (and from reality) in this thread

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.
>painting directly from the pot like a savage

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.
So we agree it's a shit design and you're just a contrarian?
Corporations are allowed to do whatever the frick they want. Your only role in life is to buy their products.
