@limburger come on man, I rarely moan about GW but their paint pots are utterly shite and have been for years. The short stubby pots can still be knocked over but that’s not why they’re crap.  The lids tend to clog with paint, no matter how much you try to keep them clear.  This prevents them closing properly and leads to paint drying too quickly.  I am yet to use a pot to empty, they invariably dry out due to the poor lid design.

As a secondary issue the lids do not stay open, or at least there is no consistency as to whether they will or won’t stay open – some do, some don’t it’s a bit of a lottery.

Finally the newer wash and contrast pots that are a lot taller are VERY easy to knock over and also empty very quickly when they are because of the fluidity.

While I am not sure that it was definitely designed obsolescence, I certainly believe that GW know about these issues and, for whatever reason, they have chosen not to address them.

Will this kickstarter resolve any of these problems?  I don’t know.  However what I do know is that citadel paint pots have been garbage for a long time and GW have done nothing about it
