I found this information on Nesbet Miniatures and he's sharing it from elsewhere as well. I've saved it as a huge jpeg image you can download onto your computer and open up whenever you have the need to try and recreate an "old school" GW color. If you do find yourself needing an older, obscure color and have access to the 5 basic colors outlined here, you "should" be able to make it or at least something very close to get by in a pinch. While this one is cool, it may be a bit tougher to do now that the GW paint line has changed. How to make any "old" GW paint color with only 5 colors
Go to the living paint chart document on DakkaDaka here. I've saved it as a huge jpeg image you can download onto your computer and open up whenever you have the need to cross reference any color/paint range. Very helpful for someone like me who uses lots of different brands and wants an idea of what would be similar across a few different paint ranges. It includes the new GW colors, the old GW colors, Vallejo and a few other paint lines. This one comes from DakkaDakka and is a fairly in depth conversion chart for a number of paint lines. Nothing new here and easily found on their site I'm sure. This is the PDF that GW put out with little swatches of each color, the names of the old paint and the new paint next to each one. These are not my resources, they been collected from others and I'm just sharing them here. That being said, I've got a few basic things here that might help folks out. Not that GW is going to change the paints again that soon, but I don't want to deal with the issue later if I can prevent it now.
It would mean a bit of money on the front end, but I think it might save me some headaches later on if I go to add to the army or want to change something next year. I might do it for the main colors only and just use what I already have for the smaller spot colors. To be honest, I'm starting a new Novamarine force and I'm tempted to go out and buy the specific paints I need for the army so that I'll have matches later on down the line. With the new Games Workshop paints out, I decided to go through and share a few resources I use when it comes to making sure my paints match up.
