Rise and fall of Games Workshop's paint range of the 2000s (retro review)

While many fondly recall the iconic white flip-top Citadel Colour paints of the late 80s and early 90s, it seems that people are less enthusiastic about the paint range of the 2000s. However, it was this range that introduced revolutionary concepts like ready-made washes and extra high opacity “Foundation” paints. In this retro review, I delve into Games Workshop's former Citadel Colour range and explore if they still have their place in today’s Warhammer hobby or are better left forgotten.
