[WWI] Acrylics in general

[Andy Bannister]

I just bought some Citadel paints for the first time yesterday. They seem to
be pretty thick anyway - did I get a bad batch or are they generally fairly
thick? Seem to work alright; I especially like the "Dwarf Bronze" which
looks quite dark in the bottle but is actually a very bright brass colour
when applied.
