Citadel Colour: The App 4+

I'm a lapsed player from the 90s who returned to 40k gaming a few years ago by getting a few pre-painted models. I was always interested in restarting painting my own models, but it was a bit daunting since I'm not a natural artist and the paint range is now completely different. I've just downloaded this app and it instantly solves my problem by making it absolutely clear what the techniques are and how the paints and brush choices interact. I now feel ready to "give it a go" once again. The only request I would make for 5-star is: Can we have a few more faction colour schemes and example models? My particular interest is Biel-Tan Eldar (assuming they survive in the new Codex), since Dark Angels are already covered. I'm sure other folks would have similar requests for their factions. I appreciate that it takes time to pull quality content together, so this is not a gripe. Thanks for this.

Edit 2: My score has now been upgrade to 5 stars as the filter has been implemented and all other paints have been added. This app is now how it should be. Just keep the content coming with the guides and this will never be deleted. 👌🏻👍🏻

Edit: My score has been upgraded to 4 stars as the new update has added the two missing paints for me. Now we just need a filter to be able to show only layer/base/shade etc. Oh and more videos of course 😉

What a great app. This is going to be one of the apps that I use far more often than anything else. So why did I give it 3 stars? Well it's not perfect yet. There are a couple of minor things that need to be added to gain those extra stars. Firstly there seems to be a couple of paints missing. Specifically Ahriman Blue and Thousand Sons Blue. Even if these are colours that are not a regular part of the range (just speculating) the fact that they only came out a short while ago should mean they are on the app to add to you your inventory. Secondly a simple filter system on the invent/wish lists. That way for a collector who wants all the paints they can see at a glance exactly how many of each paint range they are missing. After that it would simply be a case of regularly adding miniatures and more content to the app. But add those two points and this becomes a five star app.

First of all, great app, very useful. I wanted to post this to provide some constructive feedback.

The filter is a great improvement but it’s annoying if you only want to see one type of paint to have to uncheck all the other types (especially since it clears your filter when you leave the page). It would be better if the filter was off by default and selecting things turned it on.

Paint pot icons, I think a minor change that would improve usability would be differentiating the paint pot icons by paint type. As a suggestion for how this may be done, some colour coded text would probably suffice. Also changing the spay icons to look like spay cans.

Filter by model. It’s not a big deal at the moment but if the plan is to add more colour schemes (which I highly encourage) to this page then I think a way of filtering down the model section would be useful. I would guess that by faction makes the most sense. A way of saving your favourite schemes would also potentially be useful.

More examples of each colour scheme, how I paint a basic infantry model is not necessarily the same as a more detailed character so more simple and complex examples of a colour scheme would be helpful.

The first version was very polished and the updates so far are all going in the right direction, keep it up.
