Games Workshop Citadel - Pot à Eau

Not just a water pot. Has grooves to clean your brushes.

theres not much to say, it does a great job holding enough water in place so you can paint and not worry about it tipping over. its a solid cup and does what its meant to.

My boyfriend is always painting miniatures for warhammer and would use just a small Tupperware bowl to clean his brushes, he goes thru brushes like crazy because he can never keep them clean enough. He loves this water pot, says the ridges inside are perfect for getting all the excess off, it’s easy to clean, and he’s not afraid it may tip over. He would have never bought this for himself since he thought what he was using was working fine, but now that he has this he said he wish he would have gotten one sooner

I thought it was ridiculous to spend on a water pot but this thing is great. Lots of little grooves and bumps to clean your brushes on.

Honestly I didnt think that something that just holds water could be so innovative. Many great features to keep your brushes clean & pointy. Awesome product.

Always thought this was a gimmick product, but its actually pretty good. Having a washboard surface on the bottom and side of the cup really helps cleaning brushes. It also has tip formers on the back that are pretty useful. I really bought this on a whim, and have to say its far more worth it than I had expected.

I like this water pot but I actually use it to store my tools and brushes. Being a solid color makes it difficult to tell when to change your water. Nice accent though

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!

If you are thinking its just a way to hold water, you would be correct. However, with the small features it offers its definitely better than just a coffee mug.

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.
