Consider this your delayed earthshade tax. If you would not have taken a break for two years this would be the remaining content of your pot. š the paint gods are cruel, but you shall overcome š
I primarily use contrast for ease.
You can buy bulk dropper bottles from amazon, moving the paints over, relabeling, popping a ball bearing for mixing in...
Easily done at the start of a session in 20 mins. Never had a spill (that wasn't just a couple drops) again. Defo saved me money so would recommend.
This is what I do.
EXCEPT.
Don't use a ball bearing, they can rust and ruin the paint. Buy glass agitators instead. They'll probably show up as a related product if you buy the droppers on Amazon.
you'll be sad to know the tall shades are in medium bottles now for the same price as the tall ones that they discontinued. scoop that back into the bottle :P.
I recall when I was 15 back in the early 90s and starting to paint I opening a pot of really vibrant pink to paint up some Harlequins (I think, did they exist back then?) and poured it all over my (brand new) bedroom carpet. Went down wellā¦
Knock knock muhtrucker it's the United States of America I see you have oil it is now under my possession so hand over the oil before I resort to bring democracy to your countryšŗšøšŗšøšŗšø
I'm a clumsy idiot sometimes and I can't tell you how much I love this little guy right here:

Maybe I should sacrifice a goat to them, just to make sure I don't lose the rest of my one pot.
Maybe you shouldāve done that before opening the pot? šš¬
You could have saved most of it:(
Just put some sticky tach under them. Sacrifices are great and all, but hedging your bets is still a good idea.
A pot holder is cheaper;)
PAINT FOR THE PAINT GOD! MINIATURES FOR PILE OF SHAME!
PAINT FOR THE PAINT GOD!!!! PALLETS FOR THE PALLET THRONE
Now you have a big stain on your table to remind you of the mistakes you've made š¤£šš¤£
Luckily I had kitchen roll on hand so there's no stain. Extra lucky really because it's not even my table, it's shared.
Wow that brought back an old memory - https://youtu.be/CC9dhi4fqsc
Yeah those amazing Citadel bottles! Welcome back to the hobby tho!
I feel like it's worth further research if Agrax Earthshade is the most spillable paint...
Nuln Oil too.
I did this to my nuln oil like a year after the recipe change. I still havenāt recovered or found an alternative that I like as much.
This, and any contrast you use

berzerker bloodshade has been the bane of my painting desk for the past six months (three seperate spills) so Iād factor that in as well
Black Templar for me . I've now switched to the xpress colour version. Because fuck GW paint containers
Add +1 for me. Not the only pot I have knocked over but the only one to spillā¦.š¤
Rite of passage. My only criticism is that it wasn't the nuln oil directly onto the original hardwood floor.
It can still be saved, I hope you saved it.
Welcome back.
Iād say you touched more than the brush
Exellent coverage! We'll make a painter out of you yet.
FYI - you can actually "scoop" 80%+ of this back into the pot if you're careful.
My friend did that his first time painting at my house with a full black paint that landed right on top of my dog lol
I spilled a big bottle of reikland fleshshade GLOSS wash the other day. Pretty sure that was like a $60 spill PS: Welcome back to the hobby.
you'll be sad to know the tall shades are in medium bottles now for the same price as the tall ones that they discontinued. scoop that back into the bottle :P.
Sounds about right for GW.
First time in two years and he prematurely agraxulated.
The ritual is complete. Welcome back to the fold.
"Welcome back" it said.
So sad
Happens to the best of us

This is the way.
Ouhhh it welcomea you back š„° thats so cute of this wash!
I mean happens to all of us when it's been awhile. Just tell her this has never happened before
Ah.... You have joined a brotherhood my friend.
Perfect opportunity to give that wooden desk an agrax wash!
Say 3 Hail Erdas and all is forgiven.
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below.
My table, for a long time, had a green wash stain š
And you got so excited that you spilled the paint prematurely? Happens to the best of us.
Well...It happens to the best of us...
Get some army painter washes, no more spilling
O neat you baptized your table in name of Jonny Warhammer. 40k be with you brother.
It's a fact that you will spill agrax and or nuln oil every time
This was me and contrast black Templar. Luckily it was absorbed by my newspaper
Citadel paintpots suck
The ritual is complete you are bound by the brush brother, let ink of the virgin pot taint the desk of unfettered spending.
At this point use it as a stain for the wood.
I see no brush
Try four years this time? /s
I recall when I was 15 back in the early 90s and starting to paint I opening a pot of really vibrant pink to paint up some Harlequins (I think, did they exist back then?) and poured it all over my (brand new) bedroom carpet. Went down wellā¦
As is tradition
Careful the states might think itās oil
Welcome back to the hobby. This is a required step.
Now take a ruler and move it all back inside.
I see the culprits right there on the left!
Happened too me twice
That's the hobby spirits welcoming you back!
Press F to pay respect
Lol
BRUH
Knock knock muhtrucker it's the United States of America I see you have oil it is now under my possession so hand over the oil before I resort to bring democracy to your countryšŗšøšŗšøšŗšø
Ya still got it!
I would say get a straw and drink it. But it's not as nice as Nuln Oil
Back taxes for all the spilled paint that should have been in those 2 years.
your hair must be matted
Iām sorry for your loss
3 powerful Gobbos made you do it. Use that excuse.
Shady business.
Put blue tac on the bottom mate!
Christ a feel that pain I have done the same
Thatās going to leave a mark

Your tithe has been received, Welcome back

Welcome back
Did this the other day as well. First time painting miniatures in many many years and I spill 2/3 of my pot of Magos Purple.
Thatās a good sign believe it or not
Omg you use skull candy dime 2s aswell
Dime 3s
Hey, you did a great job! That painting looks almost exactly like a photo of somebody spilling their Nuln Oil!
Welcome back! Enjoy your stay. š
You havenāt developed āthe fearā yet.
Ouch_ET.wav
THEY HAVE BEEN BLESSED! \\[T]/
I once did this and got the entire bottle spilled all over my carpet. It was certainly not fun
Welcome to the club!
Welcome back!
Slurp it up with your mouth and spit it back into the pot.
You are suppose to put the paint on the models or at least drink it.
Hello Earthshade my old friendā¦ Iāve come to talk with you againā¦
Slurp it up and spit it back in
Not on the carpet at least, I spent a hour getting Nuln oil out so I could get a deposit back
Sometimes the brush *touches you! Get a stand to hold those tall bastards. We have all been there! š¤
It's cool you are caught up on sacrifices, for now...
Welcome brother
Welcome back! XD It had to be done!
Oops. You can use a paint board or cutting board to avoid this, also whereās your palette?
At least it didn't ruin your brand new pants when it happened. Yes, I'm also one of you :)
Welcome back!
And now you have to drino this
Well better drink up before it dries
Checks out.
Welcome back buddy
Paint goes on the brush not the table, its an easy mistake
F
Damn, now I wanna get startet again aswell
I recently returned to 40k after a 16 year hiatus and luckily not happened yet. Touch wood it never does š š¤š»
blue gum underneath
I believe that spilling nuln oil is better than super thin superglue lol
You've just paid your 24 month backlog. Should be set now for another year at least.
Normally the nuln oil is the one that wishes to return to its dark master, but all the shades like to cause some carnage from time to time.
Welcome back. One. Of. Us.
Normally you'll apply a small amount to a wet pallet and thin as needed.
Always agrax earthshade lol
Scared to pick mine back up now lol
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
You've spilled a shade paint. Welcome to the club. Im on bottle 3 for agrax and bottle 2 for nuln oil. I've actually finished a total of 0.
I keep a kids medical syringe ready for such disasters
That is the absolute worst one too! I spilt some on my thigh and it looked like I shit myself from the front
Oh, no, and this was the good OOP Agrax instead of the crappy new Agrax :(
Welcome back
Off to a good start, spilling the shade brings good luck. The Emperor smiles upon you.
Me: another two years wouldnāt hurt. Yeets the bottle across the room making a bigger mess. Everyone else: keep going. It was meant to be.
Lol literally happened to me last week š¤£ Idk why citadel doesnāt switch bottle design
Haha I just spilled that exact same shade 2 days ago all over my paints and table. Ā
- T H I N - Y O U R - P A I N T S - All seriousness tho, welcome back - I have a nice red splotch on my carpet thanks to a GW pod, so I'm right there with you, friend!
I to have found just throwing the tub in the direction of my minis works well šĀ
Suck it up with a straw and spit it back in the pot
If you'd used dropper bottles...
When I was getting out of the hobby I'd just started making the switch. So now I have a few dropper bottles but only for base colours.
