Games Workshop Citadel - Pot à Eau

First delivery came highlighters. Was very confused. Returned and got the cup so. Cup is good but experience was bad first time so 3 stars

Seems silly… I’ve painted for a while using a throw away plastic cup I got from my local gym which I thought worked ok. Impulse bought this water pot and I’m blown away. Wide base is very hard to knock over, ridges on the bottom help get paint out of the brush so you don’t have to smash the tip into the bottom or sides of the cup and the indentations on the side reshape your brush when it’s clean. Do you need it? No. Is it a huge quality of life improvement over a regular throw away paint cup? Absolutely.

Durable material and fantastic design! This pot will be on my desk for a very long time!

I got this for painting miniatures and so that I wouldn’t have to keep stealing cups from the kitchen. Works great but overpriced.

I bought this from Games Workshop directly so it is not shown on here. I love this pot. I paint daily as part of a side job and hobby, and this has been serving me amazingly. I will point out the slits on the side make it so much easier to get your brush clean and to a point. Plus the shape keeps it from being tipped over and ruining your keyboard like i did prior to getting this.

Im new to miniature painting and I never expected to buy this, just use a cup or jar right? Then I saw a review of this online. Pros + The edges on the side are very nice for helping clean your brushes out + The flaps, or whatever you want to call them on the bottom are extremely handy for deep cleaning your brush + The groves to help shape your tip are nice, dont use them often, however + Shape makes it harder to tip over Cons - Price (after shipping by the current seller) - Hard to clean

FINALLY! Something to keep my water in. I have a stand for my brushes, cases for my minis, but until today Ive had to laze on the mossy shore of a babbling brook to wash my brushes. A cup to hold liquid . . . I dont know why something like this wasnt invented sooner. Best of all, it says Citadel on it, so you know that youve overpaid. I cant wait to show this to the cavorting nereid who kept me company all those years on the shore of the brook. Im gonna be like, Sorry, Destiny, Ive got a cup now. I can go paint inside and watch television, and shell be all like, Thats fine. Nobody wants you at the strip club anyway, sitting next to the leaky pipe and painting your weird toys. Shes crazy!

Does what it is supposed to.

Got it for my boyfriend and he loves it!!

I scoffed when I saw this branded cup at the game store. Then I saw the ridges along the bottom and sides of the cup and the grooves for refining the brush tip and the place molded into the top of the cup to rest the brush. Im used to drawing the brush across a paper towel to form the tip and remove excess water. Using the grooves on the side of the cup, the point is mostly formed and the excess water mostly shed. As a result, drawing the brush across a paper towel only leaves a trace of water, and Im not replacing soggy paper towels every hour. In addition, the ridges on the bottom and sides of the cup help to remove paint by drawing the brush over them (as opposed to simply swirling it around in a glass jar). With less paint held up in the brush, in theory brush life will be extended. The cup is also lightweight and solid. It seems silly to buy a water cup, but the innovations in this one are proving very useful and convenient.
