First time using Citadel paints they felt amazing to use! Getting my hands on some miniatures soon I'm excited to get into this.

Yes. Almost every other container in the industry is a dropper bottle.
Ok and having not cracked mine open yet, I’m trying to visualize the challenge here.
Is it that we are often thinning the paints on a pallet and not dipping brushes in pots, so control of a small dot of paint on a pallet is way easier with a dropper bottle right?
And citadel paints tip over. Getting paint out of a citadel pot is more difficult to get a consistent amount out onto the palette. You also never want to get paint into the ferrule of the brush (the metal bit that connects the bristles to the handle) and that is much more difficult to do when you are blindly dipping into a pot.
This is all super helpful for me thank you!
One trick I see done a lot (I own an LGS btw) is The Army Painter sells a pack of empty dropper bottles. People will put their citadel paints into those.
